Where you write a number in the bottom corner so you know who you sent it too? Is it with invisable ink?
Instead of using pencil which I saw and it drove me crazy, we used a marker under the return address stamp with teh number and figured we can peel the stamp off worse case scenario
thanks for clearing this up ladies! I had no idea to think of doing this

Hand Cancel is where they just stamp the 'paid postage' signage on the invite instead of running it through the machine which creates barcodes on the invite and can damage anything delicate on the invite in the enevelope
They still go through a machine, even with hand canceling! They can cancel out the postage by hand, but the barcode on the bottom goes on after it leaves the local PO and it's done with a machine. My invitation place INSISTED that hand canceling avoided machines completely but it's not true....I checked with multiple POs. I had crystals on my invites and a bunch came off (I question whether it was the PO's fault or the invitation people did a shoddy job, leaning towards the latter). If I could go back in time I would have nixed the crystals....they ended up being a waste of money.
Sorry for the rant, but revisiting this got me annoyed again!
Also, I did my numbers in invisible ink....the pen was like $2 at barnes and noble.

what do you mean by the trick? I don't get it lol someone please explain :)
Basically, you assign each invite a # that corresponds to that person you are sending it to. That way, if you get an RSVP and you're like 'who the heck is this?' because their handwriting is illegible, you can flip it over and look up the person by their # that you put on the back of the card :)
I did it lightly with pen on the back of the RSVP...one of our friends thought it was funny and wrote '63' HUGE across the entire RSVP hahha
