My family operates a bank. Because of the mailings that they do, they have a postage machine. I would be allowed to use this machine to quickly weigh and stamp my invitations. Because they have a bulk mail permit, postage would also be less. I'm sure you've seen the metered stamps. They're red ink with a circle with sending location, eagle background, and a square with the postage amount in them.
I'm not set on doing this, but wanted to get some general thoughts on the matter. It's just an option that's available to me.
Do you think this is tacky for wedding invitations?
I have inner and outer envelopes, which I have hand-addressed. The wedding is not very formal, but still traditional. Our ceremony is at a church and the reception is at a brewery with a Texas BBQ buffet for dinner. Plain flag stamps or other generic stamps would probably be used as the alternative.
Please offer additional thoughts in the comments!

Metered postage for invitations? 16 votes
Yes, this is so tacky and cringe-worthy! Don't do it!
Eh. It might be tacky, but I wouldn't care so much.
No. Who cares what the postage looks like as long as it gets where it needs to go?
I have no idea if it's tacky or not.
