Response post cards?

kkchisholm · March 2010

I was orrginally going to do the response cards as post cards.... but now I hate the idea.

If there wasn't an envelope for the card, would you think to flip the resonse card over? And if you saw an address written on the back with a stamp, would you realize it is a postcard?

People I have talked to said they wouldn't think to flip it over.

So now I think I am getting envelopes... and all the response cards will have my address written on the back. Is that weird?

I think most people are smart enough to look on both sides. I have to seriously question the intelligence of the people you know if they wouldnt think to do that.

I dunno, you must have some strange friends. I've definitely gotten response cards as postcards several times, and I always knew how to work them.

I think I would realize pretty quickly that it's a post card.

If I saw the card without a supporting envelope, I'd flip it.

I think a postcard is clearly a postcard and that response cards with your address randomly on the back would look quite strange.

This is what I thought, almost verbatim.

okay good... so maybe that way isn't so bad.

Btw- I asked coworkers (teachers at a high school).

Nebb - I seriously question the intelligence of ALL people

Seriously? People don't think to check both sides? I don't know, I think you're overthinking this. Just use the postcards. If someone is that confused, I'm sure they can approach someone for help.

We used Seal & Send invitations and only got one back that was weird (my dad's mother in law had torn off half the invitation and taped the rsvp part shut to the other part of the invite). But that doesn't say much about her. She's an odd one.

Every other RSVP came back fine, as a post card.

We have postcard reply cards. Nobody has had a problem with them thus far that we've heard of. We've gotten almost 80 of them back without incident.

Hahahah this happened to us as well. We had seal and sends and recieved an entire invitation back all taped back together so the stamp was facing the correct way out.

We had RSVP postcards and had no problem.

We also used the Seal and Sends and the only thing I would have done differently would be to make sure that the postcard was card stock or something thicker. Ours were paper thin and didn't do well with the Post Office. There were several that were ripped in transit and there were a few that we did not get at all (which I attribute to the fact that they were not thick enough). As everyone else said, your guests will figure out that it is a postcard (they will see your address and the stamp).

If you're really worried about them noticing that they're postcards.... could you just insert them in the invitation backward so the first thing they see is the addressed/stamped side?

I'm doing postcards too... and frankly haven't worried about this at all.

We did postcards and everyone realized they were postcards. Our problem was that people didn't realize there were stamps on them. They put a stamp on top of the stamp we already put there. It was weird.

ok I think I might use them to save time and money. thanks all.
