Ready to send out your wedding invitations? Self-adhesive stamps are only part of the postage situation. Get your wedding invitations out properly (and on time) with these hassle-free postage pointers.
Heavy Hitters
If your invitations feature heavy paper stock, and if you've enclosed more than one reply card plus an inner envelope, your invitations will require more than regular first-class postage. As invitation designs vary, so does the amount of postage required. You can probably expect to spend much more per invite. Square invitations or any other special sizes that need to be processed by hand will always incur an extra charge.
Going Postal
If you're at all unsure about what it's going to cost to send your invitations, bring them (assembled and sealed) to the post office. Weigh one, buy the appropriate amount of postage, and start sticking on the stamps right then and there.
Knot Note: First ask if there's a single stamp for the exact amount. If not, round up the amount to save yourself some time.
What's it Rated?
For more do-it-yourself fun, use the U.S. Postal Service's online rate calculator to help you determine what it will cost to send each invitation. Just enter the states you're mailing from and to, as well as the weight of your invitation, and presto! The amount of postage required magically appears before your eyes.
