Postcard RSVP-Informal?

Belle0720

I've been looking at invitations and found one that I really like on Etsy (click). I love the shape of the invite and thought the RSVP postcard was really cute and would save us time on addressing envelopes.

I do want our invitations to look formal. I would use pocketfolds and there would also be an insert pointing guests to our wedding website for directions, accomodations, etc. And I would format the RSVP like a normal RSVP card (wouldn't have the Chicken, Beef, and Veggie pictures shown in the Etsy invite)

What do you think, does an RSVP postcard make the invitation less formal?

I think fun and creative always out weighs "formal". People won't remember your formal invite. But they will remember your fun and creative one. Do what you like best

We are using RSVP postcards...so I think it's fine!

[QUOTE]I think it *can* make it less formal, but with that style of invitation I don't think it does. Just curious - if you aren't including any other inserts, why are you using a pocketfold? It just seems like a waste of money to me.

I was planning on doing one insert with information about our wedding website/wedding app. Is it uncommon to do a pocketfold with only one insert and rsvp card? I received a pocketfold invite a few weeks ago with only these items and just love how organized it keeps everything.

I think it can make it look less formal, but with the style of invitation you have chosen, I think it works really well.  We had an RSVP card and one additional insert and we didn't use a pocketfold, but I think it would look fine if you did a pocketfold with two inserts, as long as there wasn't a weird gap or anything.

I've never thought of a postcard RSVP as making it less formal!  I guess some people may not like it but the overall feel of our invites are pretty formal, so I don't think most people will think of that... and if they do *meh*  The last two weddings FI and I were invited to had PostCard Response cards and it didn't bother me.
