Postage Poll

I know a lot of it depends on paper weight, but I'd just like to get a general idea of postage costs for your invitations if you mailed them already.  Questions 1-4 are for invitaitons sent within the U.S. only.

1. How much did postage cost for each invitation?

2. What size and type of invitation (5x7, 6x6, panel, pocketfold, bifold, etc.)?

3. How many inserts (accommodation card, RSVP card, etc.) did you have?

4. Anything else about your invitation that affected the postage?

5.  If you mailed your invitation to someone outside of the U.S., where was it sent and how much did it cost?

I haven't mailed them yet- but I know what they're going to cost.  It's much more than everyone else has paid. 

1. How much did postage cost for each invitation? $1.85

2. What size and type of invitation (5x7, 6x6, panel, pocketfold, bifold, etc.)? 6 x 6 pocketfold

3. How many inserts (accommodation card, RSVP card, etc.) did you have?  3 inserts- accomodation, RSVP, and directions

4. Anything else about your invitation that affected the postage?  We have an inner and outer envelope (even though the inner envelope isn't technically necessary).  Because the invites are square, both envelopes are square.  They ended up being  considered oversized, which brought them into a different price classification.  We have an outer belly band ribbon and a ribbon inside, which added to the weight.
