Postcard guestbook

Sp2012

Hi ladies!

I'm planning on doing a postcard guestbook, we'll have a little table set up with some stamped Hawaii postcards, pens, etc. 

But now I'm just getting back our RSVPs and the envelope just looks dirty with all the bar codes, etc that the USPS stamps on the outside, and I'm thinking the postcards will come baack with all these markings also. 

So for those of you who have done the postcard guestbooks, any recommendations on just mailing the stanped postcards vs stamping envelopes for them to be mailed in?

And did you assemble your postcards into some kind of book, or keep them loose in a box?

We are doing postcards for our guestbook, but we aren't mailing them. Postcards get really messed up in the mail. You are also taking a chance with them getting lost. Instead we will have a tray for guests to put their filled out postcards into. We will then be putting them in a book we got for them while we were on Maui.

I have heard of many people doing the postcard guestbook, but usually they don't mail them... too many chances of things going wrong if you ask me lol

We had a tray for ours as well.  I just didn't want them to get messed up in the mail, get lost, or have guests forget to mail them entirely.

I put ours in a wedding scrapbook with clear sleeves so you can read both sides.  They're one of my favorite things from the wedding and I still get teared up reading what everyone wrote.

If you wanted them to be stamped, could you hand cancel them at the post office first and them hand them out at the wedding??  They would have the stamp but not get ruined or lost or forgotten in the mail that way

Thanks for your replies, I think I'm going to go with not mailing them to make sure we keep them safe and pretty!
