Online Rsvps

LJ, on April 25, 2019 at 1:48 PM Posted in Planning 0 12
For those who have given guests the option of online RSVPs and mail-in response cards, did you pre-stamp the response cards, or leave it up to your guests to stamp if they were choosing to mail the reply?

We are considering our options and obviously would pre-stamp if we do solely reply by mail, but if given the option I think most of our guests would reply online, rendering the majority of those stamps wasted.

    You should still pre-stamp them.

    We still pre-stamped them. We used postcard RSVPs so the stamps were .35 cents.

    Following, this is what we would like to do but with 250 guest list I don't want to spend $125 on an extra stamp that they may not even use. In my experience though I have been invited to many weddings and there is rarely a pre stamped RSVP when there was an online option and I've never been offended

    This is EXACTLY my train of thought. I’ve only been invited to one with the online option, and it wasn’t pre-stamped, and it made sense to me.

    I think if that's what you want and it makes sense to you then that's what you should do. I know not everyone will agree but nobody will say no because they had to go get a 50 cent stamp. (Dont let the comments on "this is rude" get to you either, I think alot of the time we are all from different regions of the world and things are done differently)

    Not saying that anyone said it was rude in previous comments on this post just wanted to clarify so none gets offended 😂 but I know that some people will potentially say that Haha.

    Haha you’re so right though, people on here love to call you out for being the worst kind of person for just asking a question - luckily no one did on this thread yet! Thanks girl!

    Some people pre-stamp them, some people do not. That way, it encourages guests that are serious about attending a wedding to stamp the response card themselves and send it back to the couple.

    If you are sending out physical RSVP cards I would stamp them. Are online RSVPs out of the question for you? Maybe only send the mailed response cards to the ones you feel wont want to or won't feel comfortable answering online.

    I'm pre-stamping them. It's hard enough to get people to send back that card with a stamp on it! I imagine I won't get any responses at all if I don't put a stamp on there. Then I'll hear all kinds of "well, I was going to send it back, but I didn't have a stamp."

    People are so lazy when it comes to that stuff. Stamp the RSVP card, so there is really no excuse at all for not sending it back.

    I sent RSVP cards but on them instead of saying to send back I put our cells and emails and said call txt or email. Seems to be the way of life now a days lol

    We pre-stamped ours, and my mom said it was proper etiquette but we also have the option of online RSVP too
