Online RSVP only?

It wouldn't bother me, however I suggest doing both. just put the stamp in the envelope not on it so if they choose to rsvp online they can use the stamp elsewhere.

I think this is one of those "know your crowd" kind of things. You know your family/friends better than we do; would they be okay RSVPing online? Maybe just buy a few for grandparents and stuff if you know a few people are more traditional.

I sent by mail with return stamps got 3 back the rest replyed to me on fb .

Definitely a know your crowd. I did mine online only but I knew they wouldn't have a problem with it.

I agree with everyone else, know your crowd. We did ours online only.

It wouldn't bother me at all. I would at minimum recommend enclosing stamped RSVPs for the older generation though. My mom's pretty tech savy, but my dad would be so confused.

We did ours online only too. And we reached out to those who we knew might not be comfortable doing an online RSVP (grandparents).

Know your crowd. I have a relative on my guest list who lives in a group home and doesn't have access to a computer. So we're doing paper, but what's right for me isn't right for you.

Definitely following this post!

We have the option of both, but we haven't decided whether or not to stamp the RSVP envelopes or not. We think most will respond online, but some of the older generations may not. So either we skip the stamp all together, or just put on the few whom we think will mail it in.

I don't think it's tacky - I definitely did it. Actually nearly all of the older people replied before the RSVP by date. I know for a couple of them - another invited relative did it for them. It was all the younger people who just didn't bother that I had to track down lol.

The reason we did it was because H is from Australia and I didn't want to pay for double postage on all his relatives/or have two different addresses RSVPs were getting sent to (his mom and mine).

I'll be honest a lot of guests didn't RSVP or they just told me verbally and I had to do it for them. However based on reading here - people who sent paper RSVPs had this issue too and I'd be a bit more annoyed if I spent $.49 - $1.25 for every person who didn't do this lol.

There's that damn word again...

It isn't tacky, OP. I chose to do both. In the grand scheme of things, buying stamps is so minimal. I mean, unless you're inviting 400-plus guests, and your invitations weigh 2 lbs.

About 90% of our guests chose to mail back the RSVP.

eta: @Erlene - you need to provide a stamp on the return envelope.

We did online/email and it worked out for us.

I also thought about just doing RSVPs online, but not everyone is tech savvy enough for that. So then the question became, do I just send RSVP cards to SOME people? That sounded like a pain in the ass, so I offered my guests both options. Most of the RSVPs have come back in the mail so far, with a few RSVPing online (some of which did BOTH). I think it's best to give them both options. The postage really isn't that bad.

FH and I are doing a mix. Our invites are DIY so we have 2 RSVP cards... one for people to rsvp to our website and a traditional snail mail version for our non-tech savvy family/friends.

STAMP THE RSVP ENVELOPE. I don't care if you don't send out paper rsvps, but if you do, stamp the damn thing for your guests' convenience.

I have a slightly different take on this.

There is nothing wrong with online responses, but I urge you do go for the paper version anyway. We are starting to get our responses back, and let me tell you there is something really magical about going home each day, checking the mail, and finding those little cards waiting for us. We open them together and each one is a little surprise (all "yes" so far!) You can't get that kind of thing with an automated online system. Stamps are super cheap, and it is worth a few bucks to get the full experience.

We did online RSVPs only, but on the invite I gave my phone # just in case. Only a few people had issues or didnt know how to RSVP and I got the info from them. I love that you can just export all the data in 1 file! Right now, Im adding the table # for the seating chart/map- then all i need to do is sort and provide it to the venue

@Gymmie that word makes me cringe now! Lol I thought it was just me

I am doing online only. We communicate with 98% of our guests via social media so we do not predict this being a problem a for us. Yes this is a know your crowd thing. When we were getting addresses for STD's sooo many people were all like "Oh dont waste money on sending me an invitation just text me the details." ( of course we are mailing them still but you catch my drift) We had a hard time with people even checking their mail to GET the STD's. I can not imagine the pain and agony of asking them to mail something back lol.

It's not tacky, but stamps really aren't that expensive unless it costs like $4 per invite...
