rsvp etiquette question

Do I HAVE to put postage and return address labels on the rsvp envelopes? Considering that I gave my guests the option to rsvp via my website, it seems like it would be a waste of money....

    You never have to, but if it is at all possible, I would. We offered an email alternative, but also put stamps on the envelopes and received a grand total of 3 responses via email.

    You don't ever HAVE to do anything, but if you're able to swing it, I think it's very curteous to the older crowd or people who aren't computer saavy to put the stamp on the envelope.  You're going to have the old school crowd who are used to the stamp on the rsvp and will be expecting it.  If anything, maybe you could just include a stamp on the older guests invitations if you want to save, but I think it's best to just include it for everyone.  Just my $0.02.

    I think it is nice to as well, but I am not. Guests have two options, to call in to our google voicemail account or to respond via or website. I just know my guests wouldn't use the stamp so I will put that stamp money into something else...
