Invitation Mailing!

SLY, on October 18, 2021 at 11:10 AM Posted in Planning 0 6

Hello everyone!

For those that had to have their invites hand canceled, how did you figure out postage? I'm not sure if I should weigh them ahead of time and go ahead and put the accurate postage on them(forever stamps would work), or if I need to wait until I take them to the post office for hand canceling.

For reference, our invites are 4 paneled with a ribbon tied around them with a wax seal. When I weighed them they still fell under the 'forever stamp' cost, but not sure if hand canceling will mean I need to get extra postage for that or anything special!

TIA!

    Take one example to your post office and have them tell you how much postage it will need. Wedding invitations are often unusual sizes which require additional postage, even if they fall within standard weight ranges.

    I agree with this! We brought one of our Save The Dates (wooden magnets) to the post office and asked them for the postage amount. We then bought all of the postage we needed, and later went back with all of our Save The Dates, all with correct postage.

    Thank you both! I'll take a sample one this week and ask them!

    Do you know if I can go ahead and put the postage on their before they are hand canceled? Or do I need to wait?

    I don't see why it would be an issue to put the postage on first! Though I would definitely double check with the post office when you check on the postage amount for the sample.
