Hand Cancelling?

When do you hand cancel? My invites have bows on them? do you think i need to do this? I get so confused

Yes I think you should. My calligrapher told me to hand cancel them and mine are just flat.

I would absolutely hand cancel them....especially if they have bows. If they run through the postal machines twice your invites will be crushed. I found that Wantagh's post office (on Park Avenue) was EXTREMELY helpful and hand cancelled all 145 invites I sent out! I've heard others (like Bellmore and Seaford) aren't as accomodating...

I would also suggest going during a non peak time...like 1 in the afternoon.

Def hand cancel them...I just dropped off my invites today and they told me that they ALWAYS hand cancel wedding invitations and they did it right in front of me before I even asked. You live in holtsville right??? I went to the holbrook PO and they were very nice and helpful there AND they are open until 7 which was very good for us!

It doesn't cost anything to get them hand cancelled...they just sit there with a stamper and stamp each one individually instead of putting it through an automatic machine...doesnt cost any more

Its free...they just stamp by hand instead of a machine.
