International Mailing

Does anyone know what is involved in mailing invitations internationally?  We will have a few guests (China, Singapore, Canada and Switzerland) living in other countries.  I'm not worried about Canada but for the other countries do I need to use their postage?  How long does it take for things to arrive in China/Singapore - 1 or 2 weeks?

TIA

    use regular US postage.. go to the post office and see a clerk..they'll tell you exactly how much you need to pay. in personal experiences, china takes 1 wk exactly..but most my fam is on the east coast of china so it's faster. if it's inland, it takes longer.

    I mail stuff to Germany all the time (and sent wedding invites there) and used to have stamps on hand - but otherwise they'll put the right amount on the envelope at the post office.  I would say it probably takes a week to get to Europe.

    You can go to the USPS website and calculate the postage if you know the weight. I'd still take the invites to the counter, but that can help you plan.
