Three Steps to Take Before Sending Out Those Wedding Invitations

Your wedding date is set, the Save the Date notices have been sent out and one of the most exciting steps in your wedding preparations is on the horizon – your invitations! We can talk all day about the style, color scheme and what your invitations should contain, but ensuring that everything is done in the most cost-effective and efficient way possible. Here are a few ways that you can make the process go off without a hitch.

 

  1. Budget effectively

With all of those envelopes, stamps and customized printing fees, your invitations should never be an afterthought when putting together your wedding budget. After all, if you happen to have improper postage and something needs to be sent back, this will significantly delays and may even cost more to rectify.

 

  1. Coordinate with your post office

You should never drop off your invitations in a standard mailbox, as you’ll want them to be handled directly by professionals. After all, if you are splurging for elegant text or custom stamps, putting them through the standard mailbox will mean that an unattractive scan mark will be placed on the envelope. A great alternative (and one you will have to check with your post office to see if they offer) is hand-canceling. This refers to the act of a postal worker hand-stamping your envelopes so they look as immaculate as possible when they arrive at their destinations.

 

  1. Proper postage

Before you invest in customized stamps, you should find out first how much a single invitation weighs so you can guarantee proper postage. With this information in mind, you will have the freedom to pick the perfect personalized postage that reflects your wedding’s color scheme, showcases a picture or an intricate design safe in the knowledge that they’ll be waiting in your guests’ mailboxes after you send them out!
