i finally got my invite materials in the mail from cards and pockets. last night i printed them all out and started assembling them. however, a lady in michaels today told me that when she did her invitations with a rhinestone slider and ribbon like me, she got a bunch of them back in the mail, damaged! apparently the rhinestone slider got stuck in the postage machine at the post office!!!
help!!! what do i do?

Re: help! rhinestone on invites & post office issues
i never heard of hand cancellation. that sounds like a good idea. i assume i just tell the postal worker 'to hand cancel'' them?
someone also suggested covering the rhinestone with vellum paper. good idea/bad idea? would it help?

Mine have a ribbon and rhinestone slide and did not Arrive damaged. Hand canceling saves them going through one of the machines. It should NOT cost extra

Re: help! rhinestone on invites & post office issues
my invites had rhinestones and i just had them hand canceled...none came back. BUT my sister had no idea about this and there were stones on my bridal shower invites as well and people got them ripped and some were sent back..so it defiantly does happen so make sure to them they cannot go through the machine

Re: help! rhinestone on invites & post office issues
Wonder why they made us put and additional 20 cents postage on each invite for hand canceling. It was originally a 68 cent stamp plus the 20 cents additional
