So I am getting ready to start putting my invites together. I will be sending two of them internationally (to Brasil). On the return RSVP envelope, I will of course be including a stamp for the return but I am wondering how I would do that for the international ones?


When I go to the post office to send them and get the international stamps, do I just not seal them until I get the stamps? Or would it be ok if I left them blank? We do have the option to also RSVP through our website but I don't know how computer savvy FH's grandfather is (his Aunt would have no problem with that).

    I had the same situation with my guests from NZ and Australia. What I am doing for them is to have the invitation, the RSVP on a blank envelope and a website that they can RSVP with for free. I didn't kniw what rhe poatagw would be from their end, and there really isnt a good way to do it from here in advance. Unless you were to buy special envelops that charge an account you have set up, like many businesses do with their pre-stamped envelops. For me the website has worked out well, I have had 8 people accept, and 3 declined so far, from my international guests. I hope you find a solution that works for you.

    I sent 2 international invites and STDs. One never got the STD, and the other got it way late. For invites, I left those return envelopes without postage. FH had mentioned while I was sealing all of the invites that other countries don't accept our postage, which made sense after I thought about it. I was on autopilot for stamping and assembling all those!

    Other countries use their own stamps. Have you ever used a stamp from another country in the US? It doesn' work here just as a US stamp doesn't work there.

    Just leave it off. write them a little note saying if they prefer to RSVP online they can do it, or they can send it back with a stamp they purchase.
