Question about square invitations and postage...

I'll be heading over to a post office as soon as I can (probably next week) but I wanted to know if anyone knows about mailing square invites.

My envelopes are 6.5'x6.5' and weigh 2.1 oz (dang that .1 oz!) so my postage meter tells me I need $.75 in postage. Sounds good, right? Well, the thing is, because they are square, do they need ADDITIONAL postage? They are not too thick and they are flat (no bulges).

Of course a post office would give me the most accurate answer, but I wanted to have an idea of cost etc. Thanks ladies!

If it's 1.1 oz to 2.0 oz, it's $.58 per envelope. I know that much. But sheeeesh, $.97? We already know that zazzle doesn't have that postage denomination!!!

I think your postage will be over $1 per invite b/c they are considered a large envelope and over 2 ounces. I used the calculator on the usps website and it comes out to $1.14

Mine are the same size as yours and I had to pay the extra because of that size not because of the weight so yes they will be more.. sorry

Thats what mine are!!! No fair! I wonder if it was supposed to be .97 and they let it go b/c the postage change was confusing everyone...

Just purchased my stamps and my 7x7 square cards were $0.97 and I purchased the $1.00 stamps to avoid putting 2 stamps on my envelope.
