RSVP envelopes

Options
Not very money saving expert question but should I be including a spare envelope with my invitations for people to use for the RSVP?

I know it would be easier to use an email address but as sad as it sounds im looking forward to receiving them all through the post.

thanks in advance

    I have included a little card to rsvp.
  • No spare envelope with the invite we got. Detachable part on the invite though.

    With my wedding, I didn't include a rsvp card or anything, I just put our address and phone number.

    I had a few people buy rsvp cards, but majority of people to be honest sent text messages, lol, even though I didn't have our mobile #s on the invites. I had a feeling this is what would happen which is why I didn't include rsvp cards.

    i've included envelopes only because the website i bought my invite bits had matching kinda... i hadn't considered whether to or not... my dilema has been whether to add a stamp to it but i wont be can't really justify the cost!
  • Ok I think I will go with out the spare envelope. Just need to practice my best handwriting now.

    Thanks
  • We didn't include an RSVP card or anything, we were thinking about it but decided not to in the end. One of my friends made postcards for her wedding and typed the return address on, which I thought was a nice touch. Probably wouldn't be too expensive to do that if you cut a piece of A4 card into 4.

    I'm with you and looking forward to receiving them in the post. We started to send ours out last week and although we know people have had them for a few days, no RSVP's in the post yet :( but OH was handed one on a card which somebody bought, and also given a post it note from someone else saying 'Dear Paul and Laura, I'm coming! Love Holly' which I thought was funny, and have kept!

  • We have had postcard RSVP's made, found someone on ebay, cost £12 for 40. I was originally going to put in a little card & envelope but this worked out cheaper & easier!
