Not including pre-postage on your reply cards is just inexcusable in my opinion!
I'll be putting postage on the reply cards and offering online response. $.44 is worth it even if they reply online if it only gets a few more responses. The less I have to call the better.
Yep, I say that the reply card has to have postage. The only mail I typically send is my rent check, so if I was out of stamps, that card could sit there for a month before I remember to get stamps.
We are just getting ready to send ours out. We are supplying return postage as well as providing a place to RSVP online. I'd be happy to receive e-mails and phone calls, too, as long as people actually respond!
This may or may not be the place to post this question, but today was our deadline to get in RSVP's and we haven't heard from at least 20 of our guests.
Do I need to assume they are coming? I know the proper etiquette is to call however we have space issues and if they don't come that would be fine with us.
If they do come, they will have to sit in an over-flow room and being that it's buffet-style dinner I'm pretty sure there will be enough food. Our reception is at a restaurant.
Thanks for your opinions.
Halloween I would call them to be sure. We had the same issue and found out our guests were planning on coming, just did not return the RSVP card. To make matters worse, they told us one number on the phone and RSVP'd for more!!
Postage is good! I hate to say it but I have been guilty of being a late RSVP-er. It's just one of those things that, simple as it is, can get lost on a 'to do' list if it comes at a time when I'm feeling overwhelmed.
I prefer doing it online (how sad - because I can avoid the block long walk to the mailbox that way. Horrible!!). Be forewarned - one of my friends ended up with a tangled mess having both online RSVPs and RSVP cards. Some people RSVPed online and with the card, some did one or the other, some neither - it got difficult for her to sort out.
Sigh. Even with pre-paid postage, we still get the whole "ohhhh. i thought you'd assume I'd be there." %^$#!!!

Ok brides, past and present, raise your hands if getting your entire guest list to RSVP is like trying to get a unanimous vote in congress! This common wedding dilemma is the source of anxiety for brides everywhere. Why is it so difficult to mark one person with a chicken plate, slap on 44 cents, and drop a card in a box? The world may never know, but there are some innovative solutions to help make RSVPs much simpler. Most bridal websites offer online RSVP’s, and many planners also provide automated systems to help streamline responses. Now, keep in mind your grandmother may not use this system, but it is any easy way to get responses from those guest who just refuse to submit a card. Even with these new technologies in place some guest may still fall through the cracks. So, remember brides that it is rude not to RSVP, so it is not impolite for you to contact lagging guest to see where they stand on your attendance roster. While it may be a challenge getting 100% of your responses, try coupling traditional response cards with email RSVP’s to make life, for all those involved, just a little simpler
