Do I need to include a return envelope with my Response Cards?

It is not required, but including a pre-addressed return envelope is strongly recommended, especially for weddings. Anything that removes friction for your guests tends to raise your reply rate.

• A pre-addressed, and ideally pre-stamped, return envelope makes replying almost effortless and noticeably improves response rates.
• For formal events like weddings, a return envelope is close to expected etiquette.
• For corporate dinners and casual events, some hosts skip the envelope and print a QR code on the response card that links to an online RSVP form.
• Match your choice to your audience: traditional guests lean toward mail, while younger crowds are comfortable replying online.
