Return addresses on rsvp envelopes

Definitely put the return address on there. It's hard enough to get guests to fill out the cards properly and put them in the mail when they're both pre-stamped and pre-addressed. The less work they have to do, the less likely you'll be chasing them down for their RSVPs later.

Edit: I think I misunderstood you. Your guests can choose to put their addresses on the RSVP envelope as a return address, but as long as you get your own address correct, you shouldn't have to write theirs in as a return address.

I think you're asking about putting the guests addresses on the rsvp envelopes they send back to you... correct?

I did not. I addressed the RSVP envelopes with my own address and stamped them but did not put each individual guests address in the upper left hand corner for their return address. I did, number the backs of the cards for each guest in case someone didn't fill in their name on the guest name line.

I just bought an invisible ink pen and numbered each RSVP so that I could tell who sent it back if they didn't put their names on it! I've only have 1 like that so far and I was super glad I numbered them!

I understand what you are asking! I was thinking about doing this as well because I've heard people getting them back and having no names on them. I would much rather print out two labels than write and keep track of numbers on the RSVP cards.

I think FH and I will print double the labels and put the guests return address label on for them so I know who is sending back the RSVP. I think that's the easiest way to do it.

I didn't even think of the no-name issue! How are you numbering them? Something like "John & Jane Smith - #3"?

These are all excellent ideas and I am noting them, since addressing/mailing my invites is my next big project.
