I keep reading something about sending invites and 'hand cancel'. what does this mean?
it means the post office clerk hand stamps your envelopes rather than your envelope going through a machine. That way it won't get bent, ripped, or stained with ink.
DEFINITELY GET YOUR INVITATIONS HAND CANCELED!!! The place where I ordered mine from showed me a sample of someone's invitations that weren't hand canceled and they were totally ruined!!
i brought all mine to the post office or gave them to my mail man and they were all fine! yeah a few of my RSVPs that came back had a faint black mark from the machine but i wasnt worried about them....everyone got them in 1 piece.....if you have a thicker invite or maybe something with a bow on it i would try to get it hand cancelled so it doesnt break or poke thru the envelope when it goes thru the mackine........if its a plain invite then i wouldnt worry to much about it....its just the envelope people will just toss it

lol wooohoo!!!
also if you are gonna have them hand canceled see if you can do it yourself or make sure you see someone do it....my friend had invites with a little crystal heart on them and they said they would hand cancel them.........yeah they didnt! i got mine with the crystal crushed as well as a few others......
