in October 2012 Weddings
My invitations arrived on Friday and I addressed them over the weekend. They are ready to send out! I took them to the mail room at my office and they cost 90 cents to mail out. They are 6" x 6" squares so they have to go flat rate. A co-worker suggested printing custom postage but that requires buying sheets of 20 and I need 24 stamps.

So is it going to look tacky to use two 45 cent stamps?

Why am I so obsessed with this? Undecided hahaha

    I used two 45 cent stamps on mine, and I actually loved the way that it looked. Just make sure that if you want it to look a little more formal, that you use two of the same stamps, and spend a few extra minutes overall making sure that they line up properly.

    I looked into doing custom stamps and the price was astronomical.  I think that it will look fine if you do 2 of the same stamps.

    Our invitations ended up being $1.10 to mail (6.75x6.75 inches).  We are using a $.65 wedding cake stamp and a $.45 wedding rose stamp on each invitation.  I think it looks fine; realistically, no one will even notice the double postage.  Our international invitations have 4 stamps on them.

    We used two of the same 45 cent stamps too. I thought it looked good and I'm really picky about how things look.

    Went to the post office during lunch. The guy who helped me insisted they were 65 cents. I feel like I should believe him but now I'm not sure who to believe. Went ahead and mailed my sister's invitation today. Told her to call me as soon as she got it.

    We had to use two - a $.65 cake stamp and a $.45 rose stamp. It looked fine - I only wish I didn't have to use two so we could save money. Postage is outrageous. Esp. when you use square envelopes (Oops. Did not think ahead!)
