The postal service is raising their rates, which means the price of stamps are going up to 42 cents from 41 cents. 1 penny may not seem like a lot but when you factor in the already high price of postage, it can add up. Not only does this affect RSVP cards, but it could affect wedding invitation postage costs as well depending on how heavy they are. So depending on the timing of your wedding, you might want to see how this affects you and make budget adjustments accordingly.
The other option which I am a big fan of is using an online RSVP tool. Free wedding websites like those from WeddingWire offer online RSVP as an option to the wedding websites. Many wedding website companies will charge for this feature, but you shouldn’t have to pay for it.

I do not like the RSVP tool online. I think it is way too out of touch with the people who mean the most to us. I sent out “Save-the date” postcards for free byt going with Vista Print. I also used their services for my response cards. Post card stamps are nearly half the price of regular stamps. The templates and photos available at Vista are really quite nice. I read about them on a blog site http://www.thumbsuporpantsdown.com.
