No stamps on RSVP envelopes

Did the company that designed / printed the invitation agree to put stamps on RSVPs?

Yes, she even sent me pictures of what stamps we were using.

If it was me, I'd let it go and then have one of the speeches at the wedding make fun of it "even if you declined you were still giving us something- like the stamp I forgot" or something like that

@SG Thinking that will be the less stressful route. Thanks!!

If the price of those stamps was included in the price you played for the invitations, I would ask for your money back. Something like "Several guests have commented that stamps were not included on the RSVP envelopes included with the invitations. My understanding was that these stamps would be put on the envelopes and that the cost was included in my final payment amount. Since the stamps were not included, I would like $(amount spent) refunded."

Depending on how many invitations you sent, that could add up to a large amount. I wouldn't just let it go.

If you paid for stamps and there wasn't a stamp on those RSVPs. They need to refund you!

Yea it was about 150 invites. Def will be seeing if she charged me at all. Just seems like a crazy thing to fall through the cracks. I mean they are an invite company. Thanks guys!

Thankfully you found out early on and I agree with PP make a joke about it and get a refund.

You can joke and give each couple a quarter and 1 cent with a cute little tag that says "a penny for your thoughts and a quarter for the stamps we forgot "

Isn't that a saying? A penny for your thoughts and a nickel for something else....?

@Ashley N Do you write jingles for a living?? That was awesome. Fantastic idea, for real! Thanks!

@Meg hahaha no!! thank you! I don't know how I came up with that lol lack of sleep and being bored at work!

If the stamps were included in the price from this company, I would contact them asap and get a refund. That shit isn't cheap.

But I definitely feel like you can make light of the situation, like @Shannon or @Ashley said!

Dang, I'd be pissed! But that's cause I am such a stickler about invitation etiquette (comes with the territory of my small business). My parents received an invite without a stamp on the RSVP envelope and I was like wait what? Surely thy know better!! It is such a small factor in the grand scheme of things and I think your guests will get a kick out of poking fun at the situation at the wedding. Definitely reach out to the company because they need the feedback in order to make sure it doesn't happen again! Hopefully they refund you or offer you something for free like thank you cards that match your suite.

I wouldn't be too worried about it if I were your guest. I have stamps laying around. I'm an adult. Don't sweat it!

I would ask for the $$ back that would've went for stamps.

But as far as freaking out, don't. It's not a huge deal, and things always happen. If that's the worst hiccup you have on this journey, you'll be in amazing shape.

If you paid for it, you should bring it up.

I'm in the camp of contacting the company and asking for a refund for the stamps, and then I'd factually review the company. Explain how lovely the invitations turned out, but that your one issue was that the RSVP stamps were forgotten. State how the company resolved the situation (did they give you a refund or compensate you on any other way?) and praise them for the compensation if you found it to be satisfactory.

I'm with Olivia about not drawing attention to it. If anyone comments on the missing stamps, apologize, but I don't think it will come off as tactful if you bring it up as a joke. It's unfortunate that it happened, but it's a small thing. I would not make it into a bigger deal by bringing it up. If someone tried to give me change to refund me for a stamp (PS - a quarter and a penny don't add up to the full cost of a forever stamps, let alone a postcard stamp), I'd be confused. Especially if you're not even refunding me the full cost of the stamp. I'd think you're loopy.

Hilarious, Ashley! I love it! I would totally chuckle at that.

That sucks! I, personally, forgot a stamp on one RSVP and I felt terrible when I got it back! It was a friend of ours so I sent a funny text about how embarrassed I was. The stamp ended up not being cancelled by the post office so I jokingly offered to give it back

In your case, there isn't much you can do (other than demanding money back if you were charged). Sorry that you're dealing with extra stress!

I would probably mention that the company forgot the stamps to my parents and some friends so that it can get around to people that you were not being cheap. I have relatives who would complain about that type of thing but not directly to me. Definitely contact the company to get back any money you paid for stamps.

Ugh, I did this too. I dropped all my invitations in the mail and that's when it hit me that I forgot.

I was really upset about it at first, but everybody said that our beautiful invitations made up for it haha (The few that even noticed there wasn't one)

And we still got a ton of them mailed back.
