Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

We hand cancelled ours. But ours had a bow so the envelope was lumpy and definitely would not have worked through the machine.

FH actually went to the post office and hand cancelled them all by himself! lol

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

I didn't think it was necessary & they were fine...but I did recieve some with a black mark along them (for other weddings). I guess that's what the inner envelope is for!

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

NO NO NO!
I don't think it is necessary.

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

I hand cancelled, I think it just looks so much nicer. You go through all of that effort to get a beautiful inviation and have it calligraphered or addressed nicely and then the post office gets a hold of it and ruins it...it was definitely worth the 10 minutes it took. I'd say go for it!

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

we just did it on saturday, FH thought i was crazy for stamping 200 invites but it was such a pain to do the invites i wanted them to look nice when they arrived...

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

I am going to be hand cancelling mine. We have a pretty bow and it is pocketfold I don't want them botching anything up!

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

I have pocketfold invites and those biatches cost me $250+ alone in stamps!! I didn't hand cancel and they were fine. My guests don't care about what the envelope looks like. The invite wasn't damaged or anything either.

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

I did but I spent alot and I didn't want them to get ruined. If you are concerned they won't arrive to guests the way they left then I would do so.

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

I didnt and everything arrived fine...

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

I did, but only because there was no line at the post office & I handed them to the guy at the counter & asked him to hand-cancel them & he said he'd take care of it. It was wasy so I figured I might as well. I doubt it's necessary though.

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

Ive gotten invites that werent hand canceled and there was a big black line right down the middle. I had them canceled-there was no way I was spending all that money to have that be teh first thing people see. My post office wouldnt let me have the stamp, they did it for me

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

I just sent mine out yesterday and I had them hand canceled! I don't know if it is necessary but I did it just as a precautionary.

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

When i brought them to the post office the man behind the counter took them and told me when he freed up he would hand cancel them for me. . . he did and since we had a stamp with our faces he made sure not to cancel our faces. . . .

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

Def not necessary

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

i asked the post office to hand cancel and they said they would - but i honestly don't know if they did or not!! no one said anything about them arriving ruined or anything so i guess it all worked out ok.

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

I hand canceled most of them, but about ten my dad sent out and he just dropped them in a blue mailbox. They arrived quickly and I heard no complaints about them being ruined.

Re: Do I really need to hand cancel my invtes?

It depends on how bulky your invites are....mine were totally fine.
