Rsvp/return Address?

Gc, on May 4, 2021 at 9:01 PM Posted in Planning 0 7
My fiancé and I are hosting our wedding ourselves. We do not live together and will both be moving from our current addresses right before the wedding. I will likely end up at my mom’s house for a few weeks, so I was thinking this would be the best address to use for RSVPs. Is it weird to do this and use my name with her address? Is it acceptable to not put a name at all? Thanks!

    I think it's fine to use your mom's address. Honestly, i never pay attention to what the return address says on the rsvp if it's preprinted. I just put the rsvp card in and drop it in the mail. Your guests will not even notice 90% of the things we brides hyperfocus on.

    Most people don’t really pay attention to the address on the reply envelope

    A lot of people use their parents' address! So it is very common. Especially when the parents are hosting the reception (which is not really relevant, just one reason why some people use their address).

    I’ll be using my parents address! I also have my parents address for our gifts on the wedding registry.

    If your last name is the same, it shouldn’t be an issue at all not weird to have things mailed to you at your parents house.


    I have often mailed stuff to myself at my parents house (holiday gifts etc so I don’t have to travel with them when I visit for holidays), but I always include my maiden name / their last name bc it is a small town and I worry the mail carrier would hold mail that didn’t have any matching names on it (where I live in a big city, no one cares what name is on an envelope and all mail gets delivered as long as it’s our address, but in my parents’ town it seems to work differently. As long as their last name is somewhere on it though, no problem at all!)

    Your guests won't notice and even if they did they still wouldn't think it was weird. If you are worried about the mail carrier not delivering because of a different name then you can write "Your Name, c/o Mother's Name" for the return address, just for clarity. This might be helpful if you and your mother do not share a last name.
