Forgot stamps on RSVP cards, HELP

So 23 invitations in, I realized I forgot to put stamps on the RSVP envelopes. Worst comes to worst ill just contact them and explain the issue, but does anyone have experience with opening sealed envelopes without ruining them??

I'm sure people won't mind putting a stamp on them. We all forget something, it's overwhelming. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I say leave them on the side so u don't get them confused with the others. I don't think there's anyway to re open and close them but do you have any extra envelopes? If so problem solved, if not then at least they're separate so you know who to call. I don't think it's a huge issue personally and although I would probably get upset at the end of the day it's a little minor mistake and I would be glad it wasn't a huge one! Lol

I've seen one of those wedding shows that the bride did this for all her invites. She ended up sending a small card with a cute poem saying that she forgot and included a stamp with it. I think that was a nice idea. I would suggest doing that because people have a hard enough time sending them back when there is a stamp on it...imagine if they have to get their own stamp!

Thanks ladies, since it was only 23 of 100 something invitations I was actually able to use a really sharp paring knife to carefully open them, apply the stamps, and re-seal them with glue dots from Michaels. I don't think anyone will notice and if they do, oh well, I can imagine with how humid it's been the envelope glue would crinkle a little anyway. I'm just happy I was able to do it all!
