April 2013 Weddings

My invites were too heavy!

This is more of a warning for anyone who hasn't sent out invites yet. Have them weighed before you send!! I took my box of 100 invites to the post office to mail since they wouldn't fit in my box, and I had them weighed just to make sure. They were all over by 20 cents! We already sent ones to our parents without any trouble so we figured they were fine. Of course they were out of 20 cent stamps, so I had to put two 10 cent stamps on all of them. It looks a little silly, but at least none of my guests will get charged.

Re: My invites were too heavy!

  • Yep I brought mine in to be weighed before stamping any of them. They ended up being $1.12 each one.
  • Yeah I had mine weighed beforehand as well and preordered the stamps so I'd have no issues. Only knew of this issue cause it happened to my FSIL

  • I just got back from the post office!  Had them weigh the invitation so I knew what stamps to get.   Stuffing and stamping tonight and in the mail tomorrow!  Whew!

  • We sent ours today and they cost 86 cents each!  I was floored because they didn't seem like they weighed that much.  I had to use ugly tuft puffin stamps instead of all the pretty wedding stamps the post office has.
