I believe it's when you take your invites to the post office and they hand stamp them for mailing instead of running them through the machines. This way it doesn't ruin the invite.

No such thing as a stupid question....only stupid answers

They aren't supposed to charge but some Post Offices I think do!

I had mine done at the Mineola and Hicksville POs and neither of them charged me.

It's free! I went to Sayville and they were very nice about the whole thing.

my FH is a mailman so we actiually went into his post office and hand stamped them OURSELVES......

we sat there and did all of them - the invites were all put through a machine and dirtied and torn apart anyway


he went back and asked and they told him that all things that are handstamped have to be put through the machine anyway - the only ones taht dont are the ones that are going to be delivered to someone that lives in the area that postoffice that you brought the invites to

for exampl e- fh's sister lives in massapequa - we brought to massapequa postoffice and hers was the only one that came unmachined

so unless you girls want to drive to diff post offices the invites going through the machine are inevitable.....
