Wedding RSVP Cards

What Are Wedding RSVP Cards

Wedding RSVP cards are small reply cards, printed full color in 3 sizes from 4.25" x 5.5" up to a 6" x 6" square, that go inside a wedding invitation so guests can confirm whether they will attend. Guests write a name, check attending or not, sometimes pick a meal, and mail the card back in its matching envelope. The card is there to be filled in, so an uncoated, cream or linen stock that takes pen ink suits it better than gloss.

The RSVP card is the reply half of the invitation. It usually goes out with the invitation itself and, further back on the timeline, a Save the Date Cards mailing. Match the stock, the color and the corners to the rest of the suite, add the reply envelope, and the whole set matches.

What Size Should a Wedding RSVP Card Be

Pick the size to match your suite and your envelope. The 4.25" x 5.5" default is the traditional RSVP size, small enough to slip inside the invitation and into its own reply envelope. A 5" x 7" gives you more room for a meal choice or a song request, and a 6" x 6" square suits a modern suite. For an exact trim, set a custom size up to 6" x 7" in the configurator. The panel below lists all 3 sizes, both finishes and the full stock list in the same groups the configurator uses. For the invitation itself, the Invitation Cards cover the flat format and the Folded Invitations open for more room.

Two choices decide how well a wedding RSVP card does its job.

Pick a stock a pen can write on

Guests fill these in by hand, so reach for an uncoated cover, a cream uncoated, or a white linen that takes pen ink without smearing. Kraft brings a rustic, natural look, the 16pt soft touch feels velvety, and the metallic pearl stocks in ice, champagne, silver and gold shimmer to match a formal suite. Several stocks carry 30% or 100% post-consumer recycled content, and the default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps the cost down when the back stays blank.

Add matching reply envelopes

Guests need an envelope to send the card back. Add matching white wove envelopes in the order so each card ships with its own reply envelope. Round the corners at a 1/8" or 3/8" radius for a softer, more finished look that echoes the rest of the suite.

If your art is ready, skip the editor and download a blank. Each blank wedding RSVP card template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so nothing sits too close to the cut. Take the size that matches your order below, place your art and upload.

How Much Do Wedding RSVP Cards Cost

Wedding RSVP cards start at $19.77 for 25, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so the cost per card depends on how many invitations you send. There are 41 quantity tiers in all: 700 cards run $106.55 and 6,000 run $238.14. Set your invitation count on the slider below to see the set total and the per-card cost.

Do Wedding RSVP Cards Come With Matching Envelopes

Yes. Matching white wove reply envelopes are an option right in the order, so each guest has a way to mail the card back the moment they open it. With a reply envelope in the invitation, guests can answer the day it arrives. Add rounded corners at a 1/8" or 3/8" radius if you want a softer edge, and choose your ink coverage: 4/0 for a printed front and blank back, 4/1 to add black text on the back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides.

Before you commit a whole run, check your work. Choose a free online proof to review the layout on screen, or a next-day hardcopy proof to hold the real card first. Either way you catch a wrong date, a misspelled name or a tight margin before the batch prints, before guests fill in and mail back the cards.

How Do Wedding RSVP Cards Compare to the Rest of the Suite

RSVP cards are the reply piece of the suite. If you are also pricing the invitation itself, a folded format or an earlier save-the-date, the chart below lines up wedding RSVP cards against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

These reply cards were printed in-house on different sizes, stocks and finishes. Look at how much writing space each one leaves for names and meal choices at 4 or 5 inches wide. Tap any print to see it larger.

How Fast Can You Get Wedding RSVP Cards

Wedding RSVP cards print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when the mail-by date sneaks up you can move that to 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Order by the daily cutoff and a same-day job ships that afternoon from the NYC plant. Compare every turnaround tier below and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick.
