Postage Cost for the large square invitations?

I know it is more expensive to send this size invitation, so everyone is telling me just to get the regular rectangle card. But I really like the big square ones, and in the grand scheme of things, how much is the extra postage really gonna cost. If anyone knows what the average price is for this type, please let me know. I am in ordering debate with myself right now!

ThANKS

I haven't brought mine to the post office yet, but I'm always hearing it's the same as the retangle ones... 60 cents.

If you like it...definitely get it...who cares what the postage is.

Re: Postage Cost for the large square invitations?

yup, same thing.

You definitely should bring all the elements to the post office to get weighed before buying the stamps though - depends on the weight of everything in the envelope.

Re: Postage Cost for the large square invitations?

keep in mind, stamps are also factored in by weight....

Re: Postage Cost for the large square invitations?

mine were 7x7 and they cost .60

Of course, to be safe, when it's that time, you should have a sample weighed to make sure that's the correct amount.

Re: Postage Cost for the large square invitations?

The outer envelopes should be 60 cents but there is a possibility of a postage increase after Jan 1. Contact your post office to make sure that your response cards will have the correct postage because many of them may come back AFTER January starts. the new rates may not come out for a month ot two.

Re: Postage Cost for the large square invitations?

Ours were also 60 cents and I brought one to be weighed before I bought stamps. From what I understand most invitations cost about 60 cents anyway because of the weight.
