Hi bees!

I just got our invitations in the mail from Vistaprint. They’re surprisingly nice quality. I’m very happy with them, and we got a great deal!

There’s just one problem. While I was looking at them, I realized that I forgot the zip code on the return address printed on the back flap of the envelopes. This won’t be a problem for RSVPs because we’re asking people to respond online (we also gave a phone option for the few who don’t use the Internet). I’m more concerned about what happens if someone decides to send us something. Would it just be delayed, or is there a greater chance it could get lost in the mail?

I’d rather not re-order the envelopes just to add the zip code. I’m thinking maybe we can put the full address on our website (maybe on the registry page?). The website is listed on the insert in our invitations, and we’re not putting registry info in the invitations, so most people will probably check the website for that information.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

did you forget the zip on the invitation envelope or the rsvp card envelope.

if the invitation envelope, don’t worry about it.

i’m just people will notice when they go to mail you something that the zip code is missing and will either look it up or call.

as you say, you can put your address on your webpage so people know your full address.

@ajillity81:  It’s on the invitation envelope, which is the only envelope that’s part of the invitation.

I’m sure they’ll just look up the zip code if they want to send something.

How’s your handwriting? If it’s good, just write the zip in next to/below the printed part. I’m sure folks will understand, if they even look at the return address. Frankly, on our Save the Dates, folks didn’t realize that it was my handwriting and not a font, so it’s definitely doable.
