But what is hand cancelling for the invitations? Does the Post Office do something special to them?
TIA

I think it's when they stamp it by hand instead of running it through the machines, so your invite won't be damaged!

That's correct and no there is no extra charge. I just did this with my invites.

so you stamp on the postage and pay for postage just as if you had bought the actual stamps?

No, you still put the stamp on...
all hand canceling is another stamp (think a rubber stamp with ink, not a postage stamp) that they put on instead of running it thtough the machine. A machine would cause your invite to have the sticker and/or barcode all across the outer envelope. hand canceling insurse your fancy calligraphy doesnt' get covered up by that and aviods the possiblity of a thick or irregular sized envelope getting jammed in the machine.
