Postage Rates Raising in 2012!

We all know that paper invitations aren’t going anywhere!

Here’s a little cheat sheet about the new pricing and what it’s most likely going to cost you when make your stop at the post office.

Now is a good time to stock up on those Forever stamps! And remember if you are sending out invitations with reply envelopes you expect to receive after January 22nd to put an extra penny stamp on them to ensure delivery back to you.

Here’s a quick guide to 2012 USPS rates as they apply to most wedding invitations:

• Save the date, Reply Envelope (with single reply card inside), Single card/invitation: 45 cents
• Invitation set (invitation, reply card, reply envelope, and another card or two, up to 2 oz.): 65 cents
• Response postcard: 32 cents

Keep in mind: square envelopes/postcards, non-bendable envelopes, and extra thick envelopes don’t fit through the USPS machines, so there is an additional fee for being non-machinable.

Thanks to Delphine Press for putting together this wonderful information in such a pretty format!

Au Revoir for now!
