In formal and traditional weddings this is usually the bride s parents residence.
Typically whoever is hosting the event will receive the response cards and their address should be used as the return address.
The return address for the invite and the response card should be the same.
This is usually the bride or the couple if they are living together or the bride s mother.
It does not have to match the return address on the invitation envelope.
Many modern couples have them sent to whomever is primarily responsible for tracking rsvps and communicating with wedding vendors.

A compromise for a formal wedding is to use a small simple card that says the favor of a reply is requested by june 1 2014 or we look forward to hearing from you.
List the bride s first and last name on line one and the groom s first and last name on line two.
The response card envelope should be addressed to the person who is handling the organization of the guestlist for the wedding.
