So I read that you should include a stamp with your rsvp’s. I hadn’t thought of that so I was going to include them when i send out my invitations but my fiancé says i shouldn’t have to becuase who doesn’t have stamps laying around at home. I just feel rude not sending them and expecting everyone to send it back but then again my fiancé isn’t the most thoughtful person LOL! Have you sent stamps along with your rsvp’s?

* i didn’t do online rsvp becuase both of our families are not tech savvy at all and plus grandmas and aunts like to keep invitations for memory so we figured this was best.

Yes include stamps! My cousin didn't and I ended up losing his rsvp thing because it took me so long to make it to the post office to get a fricken stamp!

Please include a stamp - it is so rude not too, and anyone who's ever done it to me has gotten a seriously eye roll when I had to haul ass to the post office.

Stamps is a definite. It is a common courtesy. A lot of my invitations were hand delivered and I only need the post card stamps for my RSVP’s so a lot of money was saved.

We're looking into a digital RSVP for most guests, and we will hand select some elderly and traditional guests to send printed postage. But if you've printed all of your stuff, yes fork over the stamp :\

I didn’t have stamped lying around until I bought some to put on my invitations and RSVP’s. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Not everyone pays bills by mail... if I got an RSVP without a stamp I’d probably forget until the bride let me know the due date was past bc I would keep forgetting to stop and get stamps...you should send them. If your in the US forever stamps are $.50 and then you can use the leftovers for whatever you usually have them lying around for.

I got an invite the other day that didn’t have a stamp on the rsvp card and I said WTF!!!!! Now I have to find time to go to the post office (I work 2 jobs and go to school full time and don’t even get to eat dinner until 8 pm) I was so thrown off by the lack of stamp.

You ABSOLUTELY need to provide stamps. I never have stamps "laying around," and if I had to get them just for your RSVP I'd already be salty, and would want to decline.

ETA: We recently have had stamps, ONLY because we also are planning a wedding. With online bill pay now, and everything being digital, we rarely use them

Ugh I wish read this kind of posts before I send all of my invitations. I forgot to include stamps in my invitations and I am a bit embarrased by it now. Honestly, 1 stamp is only about 40 cents. It doesn't cost much

I definitely think that you should include postage with your RSVP's.

Honestly I believe it is up to you. I am having the option of RSVPing online and sending a paper one in the mail. I am not including stamps unless I know for a fact that the person doesn't have a computer/aren't able to navigate the internet. In today's day and age, most grandma's have facebook and know their way around the internet...
I think if they can't spend $0.49 and a trip to the post office for a stamp when they are doing their errands, then they really don't want to come. People who really want to celebrate your marriage and be apart of your day will take 10 mins out of their week to get a stamp. I don't want to waste an extra $100 in stamps when the majority of them will RSVP online, anyway, when I am on a tight budget.
