Re: Hand Canceling...
I used my femininity and asked very very very nicely 'Pretty please may I hand cancel them myself?' They gave me a bin and a stamp and I did it myself.

Re: Hand Canceling...
I have heard brides that did the hand cancelling themselves but I am sure it is fine Kathleen. Don't worry - are you invites very delicate? Everything will be fine!

I aaked them to do it and the postman said he would do it after the line went down and put them aside.

Hand cancelling prevents your invitations from getting stuck and destroyed in a postal machine.
#1 Hand cancelling #2 Machine cancelling
IMO hand cancelling looks nicer. I had a winter wedding and I didnt want snowmen all over my invites.
I did it myself, but I wouldnt worry! too me a really short amount of time too- 20 minutes maybe for 140 invites

Every Post Office might be different. If they said they would do it, they will. Relax - don't stress over this detail. Your guests will receive their invites & they will be blown away by their elegance!

this is what happened with my first batch (i sent our families first, and then our friends a day later bc i needed more hotel cards). the first batch i had in a box and they put them to the side. the second batch she did in front of me and i cringed as she stamped the crooked lol. i didnt think about asking if i could do it myself. i wouldnt worry though, i am sure they stamped them soon after you left. ~lacey

Yes so they will probably do it between customers or when it is slow. Dont worry~
