So Fh went to the post office between jobs this morning...

and its costing us $1.05 to mail our invites and an other $.40 to do the RSVP.


Than he had to go back to the post office after I called our DOC and told me to tell him to return 144 of the .40 stamps and get forever stamps b/c the rates are going up in may, and we wouldn't get our RSVP's back b/c the envelope wasn't priced properly ( )


So heres a tip- forever stamp those rsvp's b/c its friggin expensive to mail invites!

Everyday I wonder why we didn't do vegas and why we didn't do evites...

I did forever stamps for my rsvps. That way if I had extra (which I did), I could always use them.

And your rsvp's would've been 44 cents, not 40.....no?

The rates are going up again!! Great. Guess I better get to the post office. Thanks for the tip!

I just read something today actually that said the post office has committed to no increase in stamps for 2010.

Looking for article now.. (the article was not good, it said they might stop delivering mail on weekends..)

yeah thats how much my friggin invites cost....it was a lotta friggin money!
