rsvp Postage Question

I would think a lot of people would lose it if it was loose in the envelope. Your guest can legally remove the stamp from the envelope and use it elsewhere also. As long as it hasn't been through the postal system, it is up for grabs!

The loose stamp is kind of confusing. I think I wouldn't understand if you wanted me to use the reply card or not. If there's an option to just not send a reply card to certain people, I'd do that. I'm only using the physical cards because I have older relatives (including my parents) who I know just don't use the internet and it's easier to do the same thing for everyone.

I thought the same thing because I assumed that at least half the guests would rsvp online because they knew how. But after doing some reading and taking myself into consideration as a technologically savvy person, I would prefer to mail in the rsvp anyway because it's somewhat traditional. Many others feel the same way even though they know how to use the internet well. I even thought of taping the stamp so they can use it but I can see how it gets confusing.

So I'm basically just stamping everything. However, I am using postcard rsvps so I improvised that way to make postage a little cheaper since we are attaching for everyone.

I was just going to send a blank envelope with our address. I didn't know we had to put stamps too

Unfortunately, this is not an area you're going to be able to cut costs on, or control what gets used or not. If it's that much of a concern to you, then just do online RSVPs only, and skip the reply cards. We did online only and it was totally fine. Saved me a good amount of money too, the RSVP cards that matched my invites literally cost as much as the invites themselves, plus whatever the return postage would've come out to.

You definitely have to take care of the return postage.

You have to take care of the return postage. It should not cost a guest anything to attend or tell the couple they are attending, and that starts with a stamp.

Just stamp the envelope.

My apologies if I was unclear - stamp every envelope. I can appreciate your wanting a guest to use a stamp for another reason - but stamp the returns RSVP's.

Our guests include a lot of younger people and we have had only one person RSVP online so far. Everyone else has mailed them back. About half our reply cards are back.

People like paper RSVPs.
