We mailed the invitations two weeks ago, and many of our guests still have not received them. I am very upset at the USPS for this delay. I designed the invitations myself, and I want my guests to have them. An e-vite just isn't the same. Has anyone else had an issue with invitations being delivered?

    Yes, we mailed our Save the Dates about a month ago; some guests received them right away, some just received them this week, and some have yet to receive them at all. Many couples are experiencing delays as a result of election volume and other changes to the postal system's capabilities.

    Haven't mailed invitations as of late, but I can say regular mail, bills and such, are either not arriving at all, or are taking weeks to arrive. I have been expecting a bill from the other side of my small town, and it arrived today. Three weeks after it was sent.

    So, I'd say give it a lot of extra time. My mail carrier said in 27 years, this was busiest few months he's ever seen, Now that the election is over, hopefully things will get back to normal.

    It seems everything is taking longer mail wise. I know it’s frustrating since you’re super excited about people receiving the invitations you put so much effort into. Breath! It’s gonna get better!

    Most of our STDs were eventually received, but some not for several weeks. My fiancé’s sister in Chicago never did receive hers though.

    We recently mailed our invites but when we mailed our save the dates back in August, just about everybody around her was getting theirs but for some reason she had yet to receive hers. It definitely took awhile. I'm not surprised things are a bit slower than normal right now but hopefully they'll receive them within the next week or so.

    This shouldn’t surprise you if you knew what is happening with the USPS... hopefully they receive them within a few weeks!

    Because of COVID, usps may take longer to deliver Mail. Unfortunately it's been an ongoing problem since the pandemic
