RSVPS

sheikscorpio88 · February 2012

I'm not sure on what to do about RSVPS. After months of reading about guests not sending back their RSVP cards and having to call and text people for their response I want to make a wise and decision and save all the money I can. So I'm thinking of having two RSVP options. 1. Guests can RSVP via our wedding website or 2. Mail back RSVP card. Both of these options will be indicated on the RSVP card but do I have to include a stamp on the pre-addressed envelope? I'm guessing it would be okay not to since there is another option. Opinions please and thank you!

I would inclue the stamp

You should include a stamp for those that aren't computer savvy or those that just want to send the card back. Either way you will still have to track down people, it's just part of your wedding planning experience.

Include a stamp. Make it a postcard so, you spend less on postage. That's what I am doing.

I recently received a wedding invitation with a stamp on the response card and I appreciated it. But I'm not going to be upset if I had to use my own stamp.

How will you determine which guest get an RSVP card with a stamp? I know generally we think the elderly will not use a website, but I've met and know quite a few older people who are on the internet just as much as me...lol And I know some younger people who still don't have internet. When it's time to mail my invitations, I'll probably include a stamp on the RSVP just in case, you never know....

I did not put stamps on our rsvp's because we did include the website option I paid so much for stamps to mail our invites that i was not going to give the post office no more of my money. Out of all the invites we mailed out we received 60 back already and only 2 of them were the actual postcards. I would be so mad if i paid for all them stamps to only have 2 people use them

I would appreciate the stamp, but that is me. Do what you think would be appropriate for you and within your circle.

Our guests had two options to respond; google voice or online rsvp. Most of the older guests called in via google voice. I didn't include an envelope or stamps with the response cards but 3 people sent back their responses with their own envelopes and stamps.

This is an awesome idea! Cause I sure was just thinking I don't want to waste money purchasing stamps especially if I know most people won't return RSVP card.

We plan to use stamps for friends and most family. However some family has told us through word of mouth. And the bonus of that is that they are the one's who would not mail it back anyway.

**Don't forget to send your invites out based on households it may cut your stamp costs by a lot. I have 150 people to be invited but 68 households that need invitations.

I sent out postcard rsvp cards with a stamp. Some people still called or emailed. Part of me wishes I hadn't paid for the postage, ut it was the proper thing to do.
