How did you mail your invites?

My post office wouldn't stamp mine, they just sold me the stamps. And an FYI, each took two stamps!

Mine take two stamps as well the post office I go to are out of the two ring stamps and dont have the flower on either so now i got to go to another post office

I put all mine in a box, and shipped them off to the Post Office in Bridal Veil, Oregon to be hand canceled. They have two special cancellation stamps (shown below), and you can specify whether you want the one with hearts or the one with doves. Here is a link to details on how to do it.

I purchased 65 cent stamps and plan to just drop them off at the post office.

I just put 64 cent stamps on mine and dropped them all off at the post office

If your invitations are thicker than normal or have anything "bumpy" in them like a ribbon, it is best to have them hand canceled since those kinds of things can get caught in the automated machinery. But if they are fairly flat, you should be fine to just drop them off at the post office. I would still give them to the postal worker instead of putting them in a mailbox though.

We are planning to take ours to a post office in Loveland, co. They have a fun Loveland postmark

I just purchase stamps (2 stamps per invitation) and put them in the mailbox.

2nd what a cute idea. If I was not mailing boxed invitations or lived closer to Oregon, I would certainly do that. But the website has great information.

Ok, this may sound dumb, but what is Hand Cancel? I've never dealt with or heard of it

I bought $0.64 stamps. I dropped the majority of them off at the post office, but the few stragglers went out of my own mailbox. My mail carrier and I are quite close (she brings me all sorts of presents, I let her use my potty and give her a bottle of cold water to take with her).

I took mine to the post office on Tuesday last week and I got txt messages that some guest already receieved theirs the NEXT DAY!!!!!!!!!

If a post office doesnt have enough of a particular stamp you are looking for, you can order it online (post office's website) and they only charge you $1 shipping fee. i did that and got my stamps within 2days (they shipped from KS)

so if you know how much postage you need and want a particular stamp you could prob get them in the mail by friday if you ordered them online today?

Hand Canceling was over $1 each my invites were able to mail with just a 44 cent stamp I couldn't justify the price for the hand canceling and really your guests will not care. Its completely something you do for yourself.

Thanks Jennifer! Not sure I've ever had to deal w/this. Might have to try it since we have a ribbon in our invites

My invites only cost $.44 to ship and we did not get them hand canceled because our post office said they can't do that. None of them were damaged so it didn't matter anyway. But we just had a panel invite with no ribbon or embellishment.
