Should I use an RSVP postcard, envelope, or online reply?

Online replies need no return stamp. Postcards usually cost less than reply envelopes. Enter the number of households you expect to invite and compare all three.

Printing and online-service costs are separate.

Savings with postcards instead of reply envelopes

Does my reply card qualify for postcard pricing?

A reply postcard gets the lower postcard price only when all of these are true:

  • It is rectangular, 5–6 inches long, and 3½–4¼ inches high.
  • It is 0.007–0.016 inch thick, unfolded and uncreased.
  • It is made from uniformly thick paper or cardstock with only permitted attachments.
  • The address runs parallel to the long side.

If not, plan for letter postage or ask USPS to check the finished card.
