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. Because the card exists to be filled in, an uncoated, cream, or linen stock that takes pen ink beats a slick gloss for this one job.

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 feels like one piece instead of parts bought separately.

What Size Should a Wedding RSVP Card Be?

The right size comes down to 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 reads almost like a small card in its own right. Need something exact? Set a custom size up to 6" x 7" in the configurator. All 3 sizes, both finishes and the full stock list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For the invitation itself, the Invitation Cards cover the flat format and the Folded Invitations open for more room.

Here are a few easy ways to make a wedding RSVP card do its job well.

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 even 100% post-consumer recycled content, and the default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps it clean and cheap when the back stays blank.

Add matching reply envelopes

An RSVP card only works if guests can send it back. Add matching white wove envelopes right in the order so each card ships with its own reply envelope, with no separate trip to buy them. Round the corners at a 1/8" or 3/8" radius for a softer, more finished look that echoes the rest of the suite.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. 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 your design never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, 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 a cheap reply card really comes down to how many guests you are inviting. There are 41 quantity tiers in all: 700 cards run $106.55 and 6,000 run $238.14. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

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. That is the difference between a reply card people return and one that sits on a fridge. 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, which is exactly what you want on a piece guests will keep and mail back.

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

RSVP cards are the reply piece, but they are not the whole suite. If you are weighing the invitation itself, a folded format or an earlier save-the-date, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up wedding RSVP cards against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

Words only go so far. Want to see how stock, color and finish come together on a real reply card? The gallery below collects work printed in-house, across different sizes, stocks and finishes, so you can borrow ideas and see how a choice actually reads at 4 or 5 inches.

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.
