Pretty Postage 2021

One of the most asked questions this year was about where to find pretty postage, so I rounded up some of my favorite vintage postage for you!!

USPS is raising postage rates on August 29th so factor that into sourcing postage for your invitations!!

How to Send Your Wedding Invitations

The 4 S’s of sending your invitations (stuffing, stamping, sealing and sending) simplified and my list of essential supplies to get the job done right.

Stuffing:

  • Place the cards from smallest on top to largest on bottom so that all cards will be seen when your guest removes it from the envelope.

  • Remember to include a stamp on the response card envelope. Most response card envelopes will need a forever stamp, but if your response card has anything 3-D (ribbon, wax seal, etc) or is a square it will need more postage than a forever stamp. More on stamps below…

Stamping:

  • Most wedding invitations will need “Two Ounce” or “extra postage” (more than a forever stamp) for the outer envelope. Please always confirm the amount of postage needed with the post office you plan to send the invitations from before buying your postage. I have learned it can vary from post office to post office.

  • As I mentioned above, please remember to include a stamp on the response card envelope. Most response card envelopes will need a forever stamp, but if your response card has anything 3-D (ribbon, wax seal, etc) or is a square it will need more postage than a forever stamp.

Sealing:

Sending:

  • Double check all postage required with the post office you plan to send from!

  • You can ask for “Hand Canceling” so that they won’t go thru the machine, but honestly I think they all go thru the machine anyway now. That is what I have been told and found to be true, unfortunately!
