Mailed Invites

Jasmine, on October 26, 2020 at 9:01 PM Posted in Planning 0 16

So FH and I mailed out our invites today! In the process of picking our invites, we never thought about weight. Since we got acrylic invites, we were forced to pay package pricing instead of regular stamps. We were at the post office for almost an hour because we had to go through each envelope being that package pricing depends on the location.

Welp, $205 later, we were good to go lol. Because it's technically a package, they added 2 huge stickers on the envelopes for price and tracking. NEVER AGAIN! Luckily, we've actually hand delivered about 25 or so invites so that helped with mailing expense.

    Lol yea. Our rsvp stamps were about $60. I'm still very happy with how they all turned out but I just wasn't ready for that post office price twist lol.

    Yea. Luckily we save whatever we can WHENEVER we can so we had the money prepared regardless. Just didn't think it was gonna be that much for sending it. We can't wait to get rsvps back. Now I'm talking to a florist tomorrow so we'll see how well that goes.

    Oh wow I definitely refuse to spend that much for mailing invites Smiley xd lol Is your wedding a destination wedding? Or did you send them this early because of COVID?

    We never thought about the cost because of the weight otherwise we definitely would have chosen better lol. We mailed them partially because of covid but also cause of the holidays and our venue wanting a final headcount a month in advance. Just taking extra precaution.

    Oh okay I get it. Better to be prepared than to be last minute!

    Exactly. So with it being already a month in advance, I made my deadline the weekend before the venue's deadline so I'd still have a few days to call anyone if I need to.

    We did acrylic invites as well, i priced them prior on pirate ship and was quoted about $2 each, I had a $500 budget for invites and we ordered them from China to save $$ so there is about 250 left for shipping, and I will print the labels from home on my rollo printer. Smiley smile hopefully it’s not more than that. 😩😩

    If we had that in mind, we definitely would have priced them prior as well but luckily we hand delivered a lot of them so we weren't as sad lol. Good luck to you with your shipping pricing.
