Invites finally in/need advice!! - Long Island Weddings

$4 is a lot! But I agree with everyone here that you should mail them. Someone I work with (and no clue why she invited me, but she did) handed out all of her invitations to everyone we work with,and it came off as tacky. I do think though you can get away with hand delivering them to close friends and family because they would definitely be more understanding.If I came home and there was a pretty box with an invitation waiting for me, I don't think I would care if there was a stamp on it or not.

IDK but I dont find hand delivering them that tacky. I wouldnt find it weird someone handing me an invitation, so I guess thats why I wouldnt mind. I also wound love to hand deliver the gorgeous ones you picked out to see the excitement on their face opening it.

I would had deliver to the people you know wouldn't care and save the money where you can and everyone else send it.

I don't think hand delivering them is weird at all. In fact I think it's a nice touch.

Gorgeous invites!

Invites are one I would LOVE to have for myself but WAY over my budget.....if I did order them I would hand deliver ALLL that lived in NY in a nice fun wedding themed outfit winsome music to make a show out of it like a Special Hand Delivery Gram.

you may not like my answer lol but i agree with your family on that one.. you already spent a ton on boxed invites so you might as well spend the money on the postage with it.. regardless of what type of invite it is, I just think it's nice to mail them to everyone.

This!!!

I hate to admit this, but I think that it might be a little tacky to hand deliver them. Knowing that it is a boxed invite, it wasn't going to be cheap to mail it. I know how it feels to feel like it's just easier to hand deliver, but it doesn't make a good impression on the people you're delivering it to. My aunt and her husband, my grandparents, my cousin and his wife, and my two younger cousins all live in the same 2 family house. That's 5 invitations to one household. I'd LOVE to just bring them all over since I go there once a week anyway, but I don't want to insult them.

Thank you guys for your honesty! I talked it over with my FH, and we decided to do what we planned originally, and that is to mail the majority, and give the rest to our close friends and family when we see them/hand deliver. In the beginning, we didn't mind the postage, but we are no longer in that position since we went over on almost everything budget wise. Those who we plan to hand them to are not the type to get offended, or care if we don't mail them, which is a relief.

In the end this is what works best for us, and saves us a couple hundred dollars, as opposed to paying almost $500 to mail them all out, not including the rsvp postage. I promised FH I'd find a way to cut costs somehow. This is a way to do that, and changing our rehearsal dinner from another venue, to a more reasonable one called Novita. Thanks again for the input everyone! They are much appreciated!

I'm actually excited about this part!! It took so much time and effort to get these right, so I'd love to see their reaction!

this exactly. i knew when i ordered square invites it would cost more to mail then if i did 5x7 but I knew what I was getting into when I purchased them. 100% mail them all individually to each guest.

I agree. I honestly would look at my friend like they are nuts for wasting the money on the postage if they normally see me, be it at work, the gym, family function etc. The important thing is the invite. Who cares how it's delivered??? And if they do care, watch out, because they are going to knit pick the heck out of your wedding. You can't please everyone.
