Wedding card invitations might be the last step in the entire process but the actual process actually starts when you select the design for the wedding card invitations and they are printed.

You need to make sure that you read carefully of the description of the wedding card invitations to determine if there is extra postage required. Usually, these notices are made on larger square designs on self mailers, but remember that it might be on other types also. Therefore, to avoid later surprises, make sure that you pay careful attention to them.

Here are a few suggestions about mailing wedding card invitations:

On the outside of the wedding card invitation, make sure that you have a return address either hand written or preprinted, preferably on the back flap of the envelope. This will help to make sure that if the wedding card invitation is undeliverable it the Post Office will return it to you.

As a convenience to your guests be sure that you include a postage stamp on the mailing envelope for the return if you are enclosing a response card with your wedding card invitation. Only a postcard stamp ...
... is required if you are supplying a response postcard, which will save money on postage costs.

Be sure that you affix the correct amount of postage to the wedding card invitation by taking one of them and have it weighed at the Post Office.

You should buy self adhesive postage stamps to save both your tongue and time. You can create your own wedding or custom stamps through a retailer on the Internet or the Post Office will have many different types that you can select from. You can simply upload your favorite photograph the share with your wedding guests as part of your wedding card invitation or select a wedding stamp that has already been designed. In addition, there may be times that you may have the option of adding the wedding date and your names.

Approximately, four to eight weeks before the wedding date or even sooner if you are having a holiday or a destination wedding, you should mail all of your wedding card invitations directly at a Post Office. For a wedding that is being held at destination that is far away, during holiday times, or over a holiday weekend, the wedding card invitations need to be mailed ten to twelve weeks ahead of the wedding date.

You should also be aware of any postage rate increases that are scheduled that may happen between the time that you buy your postage and the date of the actual mailing. You should also be sure that the postage that you provide for the response cards is adequate for your guests when they mail them back which might be as much a two weeks prior to your wedding.
