Reply Postcards: What's the Hype?




When ordering wedding invitations, a great alternative to sending the traditional reply card with envelope is sending a reply postcard. Soooo let's begin by thinking about the logistics behind it..first, the most obvious being less postage. Less postage = less $$$$ Believe us - it adds up! Ultimately, without needing an extra mailing envelope, this could also mean less postage on your invitation envelope, which once again means less money:) And to our fellow tree hugging friends - doing away with the envelope is not only budget friendly, but earth friendly too.

While opting for a reply post card is not the traditional approach to a wedding invitation set, it is becoming more and more popular with our contemporary brides. And just because your response card has been magically transformed into a post card, it doesn't mean the same crucial information won't be included. With all of that said, we always love to mention the customizing part...as with any of our invitation sets and information cards - reply post cards can be superfun to customize!!! Think about it this way; it's a double sided reply card which means more area to play with and design.

Check out our reply post cards below and notice how any theme or color scheme can be fused into your style.


No matter what your theme is we can create a reply post card to match your invitation. Whether you'd like to see an image, a color, or a "green" wedding concept, we can do it! What says "beach" besides sand?? How about waves! Living at the beach, we have many couples who embrace the idea of having a beach theme wedding. Obviously, every ones's taste and style will differ and that's why we love what we do. See how easily we were able to customize the same reply post card format to suit their individual weddings. 


With a change of color, font and wording these reply post cards... 



were transformed to fit into each couple's style.

Notice this reply post card mimics the same format and style from invite.


We kept with the contemporary and funky format, but don't let your eyes fool you - this brown reply post card is really green (eco-friendly green we mean:)
For purchase in our Etsy Shop below:

100 % recycled card stock/white linen
(Samples of the reply post cards we made for the future bride and groom).


...another green wedding - GOTTA LOVE IT!!!

For this particular couple we used a taupe colored 100% recycled cardstock for the wedding invitation and the reply post card. Upon researching earth friendly weddings and recyclable materials we were excited to include 100% recycled wraffia wrap to attach a small swatch of plantable paper to the invitation too!




Any color, any style...need we say more? This beautiful shimmer blue reply card is a lovely compliment to the radiant green shimmer wedding invitation - Colors of the Hydrangea.





1940's Old Hollywood theme? No problem!


We added a ribbon across the back of the invitation to hold all the enclosure cards including this sleek ivory shimmer reply post card which is a great alternative to the pocket fold invitation and slighltly more cost effective.
