You may find it simpler to forgo response cards in this case.On the Other: They May HelpSometimes it is better to err on the side of caution. Regardless of the shower’s ambiance, a response card with prepaid postage will make responding easy, and might allow you to know the number of guests to expect sooner.Bottom LineConsider the ambiance of your event, but including a response card is never a bad idea for a shower invitation.
