Return address

jilld82

Quick question for the married ladies. 

When you guys sent out your invites did you have your address or parent's address on the return?  My parents are hosting but we will be doing the seating chart and I am sure I will be the one hunting people down to find out if they are coming.  I wasn't sure if it would be an extra hassle or not to go back to my parents.

Thanks.

I'd just put yours if you'll be handling them. That's pretty common nowadays.

We have our address on them. We are handling all the iresponses, and no one is really going to notice the address

We did FILs' address for the RSVPs, in case people bought off-registry and shipped a gift.  We figured they'd use the RSVP address in that event, and can't get things shipped to our house.

We used our address even though my parents are hosting.

We had my parents' address, because we didn't trust the mail at our apartment.

In the "old days", the bride lived at home with her parents, they hosted, and so the RSVPs went to the bride's parents' home.

Nowadays, whatever works out best for you will be fine.  This is one of those rules than can be bent when it comes to etiquette.

For the return address on the outer envelope I used my mom's address since she is technically hosting.  Then for the reply cards, I put my address.

We used our return address. But the rsvp's went to my IL's since they kept track of everything for us.

my parents return address for the invitations, our address for the RSVP

Perfect!  Thank you guys so much.  I think we will put my parents on the outer and our address for the return.  You ladies were helpful as usual!

We used my parents only because we would be moving at the end of May  (sending out invites at the beginning of May) and we didn't want to take the chance of RSVPs not getting to us due to changes in addresses.  If we weren't moving we would have used our address.

We're using my parents because they are pretty traditional, are expecting it and it's not worth the debate it would turn into with them.

My parents' address was the return address.  The RSVP cards were sent to H because we did the seating chart and were responsible for tracking down late responders.
