| Q |
The Post Office said my invitations will cost $1.00 - Do you have $1.00 custom postage? |
| A. |
While $1.00 custom postage denomination is not available, many couples have found a way around this. We've designed two custom stamps (one at .44 and one at .61) to make sure the $1.00 denomination requirement is met.
With two custom stamps, couples have a way to think creatively ... one stamp can have their photo and the other their monogram. Or one stamp could have the wedding date and the second displays their monogram. Many couples also put the bride's name on one stamp and the groom's on a matching stamp. Think creatively - with two stamps, your guests (and even your future mother in law) will certainly do a "double take." Look what Maria & Brad did! |
|
| Q |
How much are shipping charges? |
| A |

increase? |
| A. |
The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act allows the Post Office to adjust
prices each May.

|
| Q |
How much will it cost to mail my invitations? |
| A. |
Your best bet is to take your invitations to the Post Office to have them weighed to make sure of the postage price. If you know the weight, you can also get an estimate using the USPS Calculator. Even with the calculator, it's still adviseable to take it to the Post Office for an official weight.
