Re: Yay the invitations are OUT!!!!!!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!
Mine went out Friday & I've been getting calls all weekend! Everyone loves them! I used Favorite Things(vendor in LIW) for laser calligraphy & I've gotten so many compliments!
Now we wait for the response cards!

Re: Yay the invitations are OUT!!!!!!

Congratulations and thanks. We just finished putting ours together last night and I wasnt sure if I should send them out yet. But I am going to the post office NOW Thanks and CONGRATS.

Re: Yay the invitations are OUT!!!!!!

Pepper-we have the same date!!! I just realized!

Re: Yay the invitations are OUT!!!!!!

Im so jealous! I spent most of Saturday assembling my invites and dragged them into Manhattan's 24 hour PO to be hand cancelled - only to find out that the HAND CANCEL WINDOW IS CLOSED SUNDAYS!

Hello? Why didn't anyone tell me this on the phone.

Oh well, it will have to wait another day.

Re: Yay the invitations are OUT!!!!!!

this is a VERY embarassing question....but what is hand cancel?

Re: Yay the invitations are OUT!!!!!!

I had to 'hand cancel' mine myself too!

With the price of stamps...you'd think they'd do this for you!

Isn't it exciting! I get 4 or 5 responses in the mail everyday!

Re: Hand Cancelling

I had to hand cancel my STD cards...I didn't mind at all...

I would think that it is required of PO to hand cancel if the patron wants it to be.

but I think the key word is 'fragile' then they have to be careful with it!!

Re: Hand Cancelling

Pepper, good for you getting those invites out! I had this tension headache after I put them in the box, like all that stress came to a head! I sent mine out on Monday morning and got 6 responses back by Thursday, more Friday and Saturday, it is so exciting! Now run, run, run to your mailbox everyday!!!

Re: Hand Cancelling

Ok girls you are getting me excited. I was going to bring one today to be weighed and to buy stamps! those wonderful post office adventures.

What stamps did you wind up using? I think I want to good old flag ones.

Re: Hand Cancelling

I found 60 cent stamps that look like vintage american eagles-actually-they look like a flower if you look at them quickly-they are antique-y & perfect for my theme. I used flags for response cards. Ask your PO if they have anything in the back that is different, that's what i did.

Re: Hand Cancelling

I had to use the Arcadia National Park--which is sort of fallish and goes with my theme--but I had no other choice at this particular PO in Plainview. My response was the flag which is OK. Don't get stressed about the stamp like I did, remember it is ONLY a stamp!

(BTW, they offered me the rescue workers and Harry Houdini for my response cards---eeesh!)

Re: Hand Cancelling

Well They are OUT!!! I just got back from the PO and they hand cancled them no problem I did the same thing, eagle for the .60 and flags for the rsvp. I cant belive this is done. Now I can just sit back and wait for the response. The only think I am not looking foward to is the SEATING CHART

Re: Hand Cancelling

I sent mine out today too!! I am so excited. For stamps, I used the American flag. Cant wait till I start getting replies!!!

Re: Hand Cancelling

It's so exciting! What RSVP dates did everyone put?
I put Sept 21st, that gives them 6 weeks.

Re: Hand Cancelling

My wedding is the 18th so I put Sept 15th. I had to call peple for our engagement so I have a feeling I will be doing it for our wedding as well.

Re: Hand Cancelling

I put Sept 30 as the rsvp date. My wedding is October 26th.

Hopefully, I will send them in a week or so.
