Hi ladies. We are inviting quite a few guests from other countries, including Canada, Israel, Italy, and Korea. What should I do about postage on the RSVP envelopes? 2 US 41 cent stamps? Please help!
no. we encountered the same problem only with guests in england. their countries will not accept US mail postage! we just ended up leaving it blank so they will have to use their own postage.
we also did not put postage on the return envelopes. there is a way to include a voucher to cover the postage but it was too much of a hassle so we left it up to the invitee to provide the stamp.
we also have some international guests and doing all our RSVPs online (or via phone for our offline relatives). it saves paper and postage, though we will certainly miss getting all the fun RSVP envelopes in the mail. We'll just need to start stalking our RSVPs online in addition to our registry!
Wow, I didn't even think of this! I have an invitation going to Germany, so I'm glad I saw this! I guess I'll just leave their RSVP envelope stampless.
Well, since my FI is from Spain, I'm having him stamp the Spanish guests' RSVPs there (with a Spanish stamp of course). We're leaving some blank because we know they will definitely not come. But sending RSVPs aren't even part of their culture, so a phone call will definitely be made to everybody!
We had one out of the country RSVP to send, and I read somewhere (I believe on Weddingbee, even) that you could get postage vouchers that are good in other countries. So that is what I did - you can buy them at the post office. It worked out really well - I just put the little piece of paper that is the voucher in with the invitation and RSVP stuff, and they were able to get a stamp and send it back to us.
im so glad i ran across this post! thankfully, i only have two guests in canada and a few from mexico (i don't think they would even do the rsvp thing).

posted by west 7 posts 6 months agoWe didn't put postage on them either. But we also gave people an online RSVP option so most international people just used that...
