UPDATE: RSVP technical issues. Cards and Pockets envelopes!

Steagles, on June 19, 2017 at 12:36 PM Posted in Planning 0 5

I posted last week in a tizzy because I had received two empty RSVP envelopes. When preparing invites we learned the adhesive on the envelopes was pretty terrible and requiring pushing on them for a few seconds to get them to stick, which was already a pain.

Update: I spoke to my parents Friday and their invitation came in the mail with the flap open. The invite was there but the RSVP card and RSVP envelope were missing. I'm so annoyed and trying not to panic. Thankfully I received 4 RSVPs back successfully in the mail Saturday but I still worry that some guests won't get the card or that I won't get their returned cards.

PSA: Be CAREFUL with Cards and Pockets envelopes. I bought them at the enthusiastic recommendation of my Etsy invite vendor and I really regret it. They weren't dirt cheap either! At least use a sticker or tape or something to keep them safely shut.

    Good to know! The good news is that you can ask those people who you know didn't get it directly.

    If you don't mind me asking, how did you seal them?

    I have the same date as you and we used Cards and Pockets and haven't had any envelope issues. We licked each one.

    We used a damp sponge, making sure it wasn't overly wet. Maybe licking them is better? I just didn't want to have a repeat of that Seinfeld episode, and they tasted pretty terrible to boot.

    It's possible I just got a bad batch, but man, were they hard to work with. My hands got tired pressing them closed, and I had FH sharing the work.

    Ugh that really stinks. I hope that the rest of them arrived without issue.
