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?
