That is what the USPS emailed both me & someone else on here...I don't remember who else it was

Great! Thanks for the info tho!!

what else is going up?? i hate this...

I just called the post office. We are sending the invites in the beginning of December, so we will be fine for the invites.

Now the tricky part is the response cards. Do we use a 37 with a 2 cent or just pay more for the 60 cent stamp to look better.

Well it comes down to do would you rather spend .02 more on the stamp x the amount of invites or .23 more on each stamp...

Personally for me, I would rather spend the .02 on each!

that what my FI said as well. I don't think anybody would judge us.

Nah, this is something that was unforseen! Plus weddings are so much $$, why spend an extra .23 on something that you don't have to!

I emailed the post office to see when they will start selling the .39 cent stamps. I am sending my invites out in the beg of Feb also

On this one, Id pay extra. My invites are rather formal and expensive and I would rather use one stamp that is pretty. Maybe it is shallow and impractical but it is my preference and would irk me to death if it didnt look right in my eyes - my only true Bridezilla moment I guess. I suppose we all have the things we spend $$ on that others find excessive and unnecessary.


ETA: I just figured the cost differential - it is only $31.50 - not too much.

leslie - i would just use the 37 cent stamp and have your return address on the front and back of the envelope b/c even if returned for insufficient postage it would still come to you
