Don’t forget about the postage increase if you are sending out your wedding invitations soon. Your response cards need the right postage if your RSVP deadline is after 12 May!
Raschelle Parker, Marketing Manager for New York City Post Offices came out with some advice to help couples when mailing out their wedding invitations. She says it’s a good idea to consult with the post office about the shape and design of their wedding invitations.
Here’s some wedding invitation mailing tips that came from a recent press release from the US Postal Service.
“By following 10 simple tips, you are sure to get the wedding invitation and associated save-the-date cards, response cards and thank-you notes delivered on time with all the flair of a red-carpet opening,” says Parker. Parker’s tips are:
1. Consider the shape, weight and rigidity of your wedding invitation.
2. “Accessorize” your wedding invitations by using Wedding stamps.
3. Design your own stamp. (Find more information about customized postage at http://www.usps.com/postagesolutions/customizedpostage.htm.)
4. Order stamps online at http://www.usps.com, view and purchase related postal products, look up ZIP Codes instantly, learn about mailing options and calculate postage.
5. Mail your wedding invitations four to six weeks before the wedding.
6. Provide a complete address, including apartment number.
7. Affix your stamps securely.
8. Prepare your wedding invitations online at http://www.usps.com/createmail.
9. Tell family and friends who can’t make the big day about CardStore at http://www.usps.com/cardstore. From the convenience of their computer, they can send greetings and a gift card from a wide choice of popular national retailers.
10. Very important: With the May 12th price change, be sure to include the proper postage on your response cards if you are mailing your wedding invitations prior to May 12th.
