Invitations are the first things your guests will see that pertain to your wedding. You want to use your invitations to set the mood for your wedding and to get them excited about your big day! There are many ways you can make your invitations stand out and be remembered!
Here are some ideas and also a few tips to help keep your cost on postage down.
- Embellishments! – Adding jewels, ribbons, string, twine, feathers or twigs to your wedding invitation really adds personality. Be creative! As long as the invitation can still fit inside a flat envelope and isn’t more than ¼ inch thick (when sending USPS), one standard stamp should be all you need.
- Check Postage First – If you decide to add an embellishment to your invitations, and you have other postage questions (maximum/minimum envelope sizes or when thick mail pieces may cost more), visit www.usps.com and search for Measuring Tips. It’s good to check this website BEFORE you order and embellish your invitations; otherwise you might end up going over budget on your invitations and have to cut back on other things.
Don’t be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to your wedding invitations! It will only build interest and excitement for your wedding day!
