They are stamped and ready to go. Do I really need to bring them in to the post office?

Bring them to the post office this way u can have them hand stamped. Don't put then into the mailbox.

This is why I'm confused! I brough the idea of doing things by hand to my guy at the post office and he was like 'well, they won't go through a machine, that's why you paid extra for postage.' I pretended to know what he was talking about

You know how on the stamp when u get mail it has that round stamp with the date ect they have a stamp behind the counter that you do manually instead of going through the machine to stamp. I got lucky and the lady let me do it myself. My invites arrived in perfect condition.

Re: Let's be honest about mailing invites
yeah please have them hand stamped
if your envelopes are irregular shaped you DO NOT want them going through a machine
a hand stamp looks nicer too
I bribed the post office lady by letting her keep the canvas tote i brought my invites with me in
ALSO - not every post office will do this!! call ahead and ask them!
