Before I go Postal at the Post office...

Who mailed THank you cards to Europe...

Any recall on the $ your card was? I'm sending slightly heavier TYs, (due to the accordion fold style) but its the same size as a normal TY card & envelope.

My mailroom at work are not credible, they told me an amount for my invites that was .85 SHORT for Europe so i do not trust them anymore.

If I can avoid the 'weigh in' that will shave 30 minutes off the errand so I'll love ya if you know the answer to this one...

Thanks Shorty, did you invite the Pope?? He's gonna be in NY soon maybe he'll visit you...
OMG totally j/k please don't flame...

OK, so I'm thinking I'm looking at about 1 buck per, given the dimensions of your invite, but that should be fine. Mine's smaller size but heavier weight. They might even have a machine for self-weighing, I forget. Thanks though, I'm a postal-illiterate and would've put US flag stamps on there!!!

I'm not sure what international postage is. If you don't have the Par Avon stickers just write Air Mail on the envelopes and that will be just fine.

$0.90 it is ladies!!!!!

I stamped 'air mail' on 'em with a rubber stamp at work, so that was fine.

Thanks girls the mysteries of the PO baffle me sometimes!!!
