I am planning on supplying postage, but it's not absolutely necessary. From what I've heard, the etiquette rule is that it's nice to supply it, but you don't have to!
I did apply postage, because I personally wouldn't ever send one back that didn't have postage. I'd probably save myself the money and call them to rsvp! Shameless, I know..
I think aside from being a nice thing to do, it will expedite getting RSVPs back - people don't have to look for a stamp, one less thing standing between it and the mailbox!
I would supply it. It gives people no excuse not to send in a reply.
I agree with eriqua - it's a nice gesture, but more importantly, it will save you time and effort b/c people will be more likely to send their RSVP's back on time!
You don't have to; however, chances are you won't get them back in a timely manner, if at all, if you don't. I know if I have to find a stamp, it takes me forever and then whatever I am mailing sometimes gets forgotten because I keep forgetting to get a stamp for it.

Out of curiosity (we're not sending RSVP cards. It's not all that common over here) how are you guys dealing with overseas RSVPs whilst supplying postage?
we're doing online/phone rsvp so we don't have to! but if we did do snail mail we would definitely supply postage, i think i just expect it so i would do it for other people too.
I did put stamps on people who i knew were coming/thinking about coming. I didnt put stamps on rsvps for family i knew wasnt coming(?) weird i know.. but i know a lot of my family wanted the invite to send us a gift and just to get one. I still got RSVPS from those family members too! So i dont think its necessary, but i wouldnt send back an rsvp that didnt have a stamp on it.
Yes. I have never received an RSVP without one so the chances are pretty good that I wouldn't check. Therefore the RSVP would get delay in return. Definitely a good touch!
@littlemiss: If you take one of your RSVP's to the post office they can tell you how much it will cost to send it back. I have people in Canada, so that is what I will have to do when the time comes.
If it means I would have a better chance of getting them back - absolutely.
I think its rude to expect someone to RSVP to your wedding without supplying the postage...if you dont want to then i would give them the choice of replying on a website atleast. But yea its a big must in etiquette
I voted yes...b/c if I don't receive an rsvp with postage on it already it usually takes a long time, if ever, for me to respond.
We did. I think that if you don't put it on there, people won't send. Though sadly a lot of people still didn't send so we had wasted stamps!
I don't think I've ever gotten an invite without return postage.
I've never gotten an invite without postage on the RSVP, and we included postage with ours. We just knew that it would increase our odds of getting our RSVPs back.
I think it is necessary to provide postage, except if your guest is from a different country.
@noritake22, Ah I see. It doesn't work the same way over here so I was curious. Like I said though, we won't be sending an RSVP card with our invites, I imagine lots of people will RSVP through the message board on our website or by writing us a card which is more of the norm over here.
do they still have postcard stamps? i know years ago that they use to but these days with them changing things so much at the post office...i don't know.
We used the postcard stamps for our RSVP postcards. They are cheaper. The only ones they had though were polar bears. Cute but not wedding related. This time of year though, you might get something more romantic looking with Valentines Day around the corner. Just make sure postage isn't going to go up anytime during your mailing process.

I was just wondering if I'm suppose to provide postage for the RSVPs?
