Depends on your invites.

Go to the post office with a complete invite (including all inserts) and have them weigh AND measure it.

I went to the PO with my complete invitation (including the RSVP, direction cards) and it cost me $.58 total for each. I ask about the RSVP's and they said since they raised the price on stamps, it's $.41 cause it's not considered a post-card type and that doesn't matter the weight. If it's in an envelope, it's considered a reg letter. Bring it to the PO and ask...

As far as the RSVP goes - - if it is smaller than 3 1/2 x 5 in size it could require an extra 17 cents postage. That might be what some people are referring to. I think the majority of reply cards are OK with just 41 cents.

If you have a square invite or oversized that too could require an extra charge which is why ,as suggested, it's best to have them look at it. In fact, I was told because I used wax seals I might have to pay an extra 17 cents IF it was too THICK!! It wasn't but with the new increase the PO is worse than banks at charging extra fees!!!

We got away with .41 stamps. We had a plain, single page invite with no inner envelope and the only enclosure was the RSVP card and envelope. I was glad cuz then we used the new Star Wars stamps!

Make sure to have it weighed. Mine is costing 97 for invite, 41 for response card.

You should go to the post office and have it weighed because the new postage regulations don't necessarily just take into consideration weight, but also shape, size, width, etc....
