Wax seals on Save the Dates

Heather, on April 20, 2018 at 3:02 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 24
I finished the wax seals on our save the dates. They look amazing. I don't think the pictures do them justice, but you can sort of see the detail and the stylized B for our last name. So happy with the way these came out.

    It adds a miniscule amount of weight. I guess depending on what younare mailing, I suppose it could tip you over. But we needed the 71 cent stamps for ours anyway, so it didn't effect ours.

    Those are pretty cool. I've thought about doing that for my invitations, but decided against it. Your pictures are making me reconsider.

    I've never considered doing these on my formal invites, but I must say, I love the way yours turned out and may consider them myself now.

    I definitely recommend them. I keep looking at them and feeling giddy. I can't wait for FH to get home and see them.

    I think you have to hand cancel them, but my mom used to send cards with wax seals no issues. I wasn’t sure about it.
    Does anyone know?

    From what my friend( postal carrier) said is if it’s the soft wax(slightly movable) it can go through the machine but if it’s the hard one it cannot.

    I have a monogram wax seal I have been using for all my Xmas cards since 2004. I purchased it on a trip to Plymouth Plsntation in MA.
    Its easy when u get the hang of it. It’s never affected my postage and people love it
    i did not use it for my wedding invites because I already use it yearly. I did use washi tape on my envelopes though

    I was told if there is a lot of excess wax, it can get caught in the machine and rip off. But if it is thin, it passes through just fine.

    Washi tape is neat. I recently learned of it ( I am not very crafty). Where do you get your wax? I plan to use this seal from now on.
