Are you sending your wedding invitations this week? Make sure to double check the new prices at USPS. The new prices start today.
Up to
- 1 ounce is 44 cents
- 2 ounces is 61 cents
- 3 ounces is 78 cents
- 3.5 ounces is 95 cents
An average wedding invitation can weigh anywhere from 2 to 3 ounces, depending on what you have in your invitation set. But don’t forget there are other variables to consider to determine the cost of sending an invitation.
- weight
- size (height x length)
- shape
- thickness
- strings, buttons, clasps
- anything that causes the envelope to have an uneven shape
The best way to determine how much your invitation will cost to send is to bring a complete invitation set to the post office to have it weighed. Or you can use the USPS price calculator for domestic postage.
Now this is my kind of site. It really focuses on weddings with that rock and roll edge. If you like that style, check out some of the great posts and fun photos they have up at Rock and Roll Bride.
Later this week I’ll be posting a rockabilly invitation.
It’s time for a change. I’ve taken down the old blog and transferred some of the posts here that I felt were useful. 2009 is going to be filled with changes. We’re creating a few new altered lines of invitations and opening up a site with a store. This blog too will eventually move to the site. But for now, stay tuned for updates and changes about us, weddings and of course invitations!
If you are a DIY savy bride, check out this past post, about DIY Invitations, to remind you of some basics you wouldn’t want to miss as you start to create your invitations.
The dream wedding. Not only does it include your special touches and must haves, but it’s also shared with everyone you want. For some this is possible and for some of us this is not. The reality could be is that the wedding of your dreams will need to be scaled down in some way. Minimizing the guest list is one way to get down to budget. With a limited guest list, you start to worry about etiquette and making sure you do this in a way that’s not hurtful to anyone. You start to worry that if you invite your cousin, will he bring his girlfriend? Because you’re only planning for your cousin. And what if you want to make it an adult only reception? What can be done to help give your guests an extra hint?
I met Janelle at a little Mexican restuarant. We sat down and she began to explain her Victorian Gothic wedding. It was filled with some traditional victorian elements, such as her bridesmaid’s gowns. Each gown was handmade by a costume designer, created in the traditional victorian dress, using a different color for each bridesmaid. Janelle wanted to have those colors reflected in the invitation. Now, this isn’t an unusual request.
