I NOW know this answer!!!!!!! I learned it the HARD way!

You bring your invites to the post office and you stamp them yourselves so they dont' go through the stamping machine and get ruined.........

We didn't do this and a MAJORITY of our invites were ruined, or not even delivered becuase they were sooooooo shredded

Gosh, that's awful! Sorry to hear that. My invitations went out in batches, so when I sent my FH to the post office with a batch I made him understand that it wasn't the same thing, that he had to get them hand-canceled. However, if you give them twenty invitations or so at a time, they do it in front of you, you don't have to do it yourself. But you have to go a few times! (Unless you're having a *really* small wedding.)
