I was looking into invitations over the weekend and on one site there was a review by a few people talking about the postage for certain types of invites. one person said it was like a dollar just to stamp one invite! and she had a lot of invites so it costs a ton of money just to mail them out!
These were for pocket fold invites btw.
Anyone hear of this or go through this? Please let me know.......
Thanks !!!!!!

Re: postage for invitations
Yes, that woman you heard that from is correct. I chose a pocketfold invitation and the postage needed to send each out is $1.28 not including the response card. Yikes

Re: postage for invitations
My invites were 1.05, but since they don't really make that - I put on 1.08. I've heard the square invitations are quite a bit more.
My local postal office tried to tell me that my invites were a parcel (because of the bow) and wanted me to pay 1.78 or something like that.
I went to the Williston Park office - closer to my parents home, and they went out and were recieved by my guests with 1.08 postage.

Re: postage for invitations
The shape, size and weight of your invitation all factor into how much postage it will require to mail. In general, odd shaped envelopes (i.e. - square or boxed invites) cost more to mail than rectangular ones.
My invite was a rectangular approx. 5x7 flat piece with 4 inserts all printed on pretty heavy stock but only cost the standard 61 cents to mail.

I just sent out my invites and they are pockets....I spent 64 cents on each stamp for the big envelope and 44 cents for the little envelope for them to return the rsvp cards..

Re: postage for invitations
My invitations were 88 cents to mail plus we had to put 44 cents on the RSVP envelopes so it came to more than $1 to send each one. When FH went to the post office to get the invite weighed and buy the stamps he almost died!!!! Lol

Did you take to the RVC post office? Did you get them hand-cancelled there?

Re: postage for invitations
my square pocketfolds were $1.08 plus the .44 RSVP.
needless to say, I spent $145 at the post office yesterday for 95 invitations. For that price the USPS should physically put them all on and stuff the envelopes as well.

Re: postage for invitations
Mine were $1.08 each to mail. I spent about $200 just on stamps. Ridiculous!! And I didn't even think mine were that heavy but it was off by like 1/8in in height!

Re: postage for invitations
Mine aren't pocket folds and I still paid $1.28 each plus the cost of the rsvp stamps. But I honestly love my invites so I didn't mind too much
