Postage Help!

I want to make sure I'm not getting confused.  This seems very straightforward, but if I weighed one of my invitations at the post office, and it weighed 1.6 oz, that means a single 65 cent stamp is sufficient, right?

Thanks ladies!
Anniversary

    Postage also depends on you shape and size, not just the weight. When you weighed it, they should have told you what postage would be necessary. I would go back if they didn't and simply hand the finished invitation to a post office offical to see what exactly it needs, that way you aren't over or underspending.

    General consensus is to take an invitation to two separate post offices and see what they say - and then go with the higher option! There are restrictions not only on height and width, but also thickness, so a wedding invitation might be bumped up to the next class - depending of course, on what all you have in there!

    I agree.  This is what I did to save any confusion.

    I have a very rectangular shaped invite and took it to the post office and they said 65 cents so that is what I am going with :)

    Thanks everyone! I mailed them at lunch today and unfortunately bc of the thickness had to add an additional 45 cent stamp to each, for a total of $1.10 per invite - yuck!

    Mine came out to 1.10 and we made our own stamps at zazzle.com. Everyone says they love the personalized stamps, very unique.
