Mailing Wedding Invitations
with Some Added Style

When you're mailing wedding invitations, make sure your guests' invitations look as elegant when they receive them as they did when you left them at the Post Office.

The tips below may often be overlooked but they'll give you some added assurance that your invitations will get where they're going and arrive in the beautiful condition they're meant to be in for your guests.

For some extra style and color, look into the option of adding wedding stamps to your wedding invitations, then adding your wedding photo to custom wedding photo stamps for the Thank You notes!

Tips for Mailing Weddings Invitations:

Use Wedding Stamps to mail out your invitations and to pre-stamp the RSVP envelope for your guests.
If you don't feel like running from one local Post Office location to another, simply go to USPS.com/shop and order the stamps online.
Handwrite your return address or apply your return address label on the back of the envelope at the top of the flap, not on the front of the envelope.
Make sure you do this with the RSVP envelope as well.
When mailing wedding invitations, hand deliver them to the Post Office counter. Do not drop them in a box, even at the Post Office. You want to ask the postal clerk if they will please hand cancel the envelopes without running them through a machine.

This will keep your envelopes looking great and avoid any damage to the contents that could otherwise be caused by the automatic rollers.
This is especially important if your invitations have any jeweled embellishments on them or ribbons that could end up tearing through the envelopes if canceled by a machine.
Even when you assemble your invitations correctly, there is no protection for the pressure of the rolling machines.
