Special Delivery

October 30th, 2008 @ 11:21 am by Mrs. Deviled Egg

After reading about how Miss Sweet Tea had her invitations mailed and postmarked from the city where she will be married, I was triggered to write a post about getting special postmarks on any piece of mail you send.

When I send out my Christmas cards every year, I go an extra step to add a special detail by getting them postmarked in a Christmas-themed city*.…

I use way too many repeated symbols and letters when I write, and I'll love Mr. Champagne endlessly…

The First of Many “Oops” Moments

Our save the dates were FINALLY completed, and I couldn’t get them to our guests soon enough. There’s something so exciting about the big send off! During my lunch hour, I walked to the post office proudly carrying our…

Bye, Babies…

July 22nd, 2008 @ 3:09 pm by Mrs. Sundae

As of approximately 8:11 this morning, the invitations are in the mail. I’ve worked so long and hard on those things, I feel like I’ve given birth to them! I packed them up as carefully as possible last night and then handed them over this morning to a perfect stranger who is sure to mangle and otherwise attempt to destroy those beautiful little pieces of…

About Mrs. Cream Puff

This post will be sort of a mish-mash of a couple of things I discovered while experimenting with and mailing our invitations. First, I present you with a photo of Future In Law Puff’s invitation, which is evidence as to why you may want to go to the trouble of hand canceling if you made custom stamps (and no, I don’t have any suggestions on hand…

Martha Stewart Weddings

Darn you Martha Stewart and your impeccable use of vintage stamps! (Sorry, Martha!) Ok, first off let me say that I love vintage stamps, and I love the look of them on wedding invitations; however, I am trying to prioritize our wedding splurges. Already our splurges have been on location, food, my dress, and hiring a string trio for the ceremony (which I haven’t…

Hi everybody! Today is a momentous day! Our invitations are finally going out!! Although I don’t want to post them here until our guests have received them (think end of this week), I thought I’d share the DIY pseudo-calligraphy I did (some of you seemed interested) and our adventures with stamps. Now, I’m not entirely convinced that anyone actually notices either of these two things,…

Away They Go!

I was SO happy to mail my invitations and get them out of here I thought I was going to burst. We finished the invites about a month ago, but getting all of them assembled, numbered (I almost forgot to number the RSVP cards, even after lots of bee advice!), addressed and stamped took awhile!

My mom and my grandmother helped me to put the finishing…

I went to the post office yesterday to get one of my finished invitations weighed. I was happy to find out that it was well under 2 ounces weighing in at a featherlight 1.20 ounces. The friendly postal employee even tested its thickness and I am happy to report that it fit easily through the test slot, saving me from the lumpy-bumpy surcharge (I’m pretty sure…

Permanent… Yup It’s Forever

April 11th, 2008 @ 12:41 pm by Mrs. Flamingo

Many fellow bees have blogged about having stamp issues with their invitations. Some purchased stamps at one point, but because of an increase in rates, they purchased those annoying 0.01$ stamps. Luckily for us Canadians we no longer need to deal with $0.01 stamps because they’ve introduced permanent stamps, similar to the forever stamp issued last year in the US.

I was really excited about this news,…

So now we just have to make it through the craziness of the wedding and the moving in together!

For the most part, we’ve focused on only the important things for our wedding. Any high ambitions I may have had regarding fancy DIY projects have fallen by the wayside in light of my lack of time and energy….

But there was one Martha Stewart idea I simply HAD to try:

Postage Increase… What Should I Do?

February 12th, 2008 @ 9:24 am by Ms. Dahlia

I just saw that the price of a first class stamp is supposed to increase by one cent to $.42, beginning May 12.Now, the RSVP date for our invitations is May 1, although the wedding date is after the increase. The most logical solution, of course, would be to use the forever liberty bell stamp.

You, liberty bell forever stamp, are just not interesting enough for…

No Need For A Panic…

February 5th, 2008 @ 3:02 pm by Mrs. Lemon

The 1 cent stamp increase rumors have faded completely … as it seems that someone in the philatelic community read a memo incorrectly and set the collecting world all a flurry!

So mail your .41 cent invitations with pretty stamps without any fear!
