Mailing Invitations - Help

I know I've seen this discussed before but can't remember where. Sending out invitations and had a question about how to mail them correctly so that there's less chance of getting ruined, bent, damaged, etc. Do you stamp them yourselves and just bring directly to the post office? Have the post office stamp them (it's a lot though). And I think there was something you may be able to tell the PO so they don't run them through a machine where they usually get bent. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

You can go to the post office and hand cancel them yourself. When I went to buy the postage, I asked and the guy said if I come @ an off time, they will do it for you or you can come and they will give you the stamp to do it yourself! i'll probably do that so I know they aren't going to get wrecked after the hours we all spent stuffing and addressing them! hope this helps!

You want to get them hand canceled. If you do a search a lot of girls have posted good post offices to go to for it.

i went to the hicksville post office and asked if i could hand cancel them...they told me that they would do it..
So far, i've heard that the invitations were delivered in good condition!

Re: Mailing Invitations - Help

it means instead of running the envelopes through a machine that puts the stamp over the postage, they take an actual stamp and ink pad to stamp the postage

Thanks for the explanation. This helps a lot. Don't want to spend $$ and time on these invitations just to have them show up ruined.

Just to let you know, I did not have mine hand cancelled and they got to everyone's homes in beautiful shape.
