Invitation question

Is it a problem for the postal service if you address envelopes in silver ink?

Re: Invitation question

I don't know - I would go there and ask. Let me know b/c I was planning on silver also.

I'm not 100% sure . But my boss' daughter's bat mitzvah (sp?) invites were addressed in silver ink and I got mine

Re: Invitation question

I can't imagine there would be, as long as it's legible.

Re: Invitation question

I checked with the postal service. You can do it. But it is hard for the machine to read silver ink. They probably would have to be sorted by hand. Which of course takes longer if you are talking about a large quantity. So that is something to keep in mind. I'm still going to do silver ink, but maybe mail them a week earlier.

Re: Invitation question

I think you can hand cancel them, no?

Re: Invitation question

Oh, I was planning on using silver ink too...It didn't even cross my mind that it could be a problem, I hope not

Re: Invitation question

you should def. have your invites hand stamped. Bring it in a box & tell them that they're your invites .... they're happy to! My guests got them within 24-48 hours!!!!
