This is an except from the Dreamweaver Calligraphy Weblog that is good information for all who are looking at wedding invitations...
"In the last couple of weeks, more than half of the envelopes I have
addressed for brides have had square envelopes. If you are concerned
about postage, make sure you take into consideration when looking at
invitations that the square will cost more in postage, in some cases up
to $1.00 each to mail. When the price of stamps went up, the postal
service actually lowered the price of what I refer to as the “bridal”
rate stamp (they used to be $.63 and now they are $.58 each) but the
price of squares went up a lot. A small square envelope might be able
to use lower postage (but not as low as a $.42 regular stamp) but it
would have to be about 4 1/2 inches or less. Always, even with
non-square invitations, make sure you take one completed invitation to
the post office to have the weight checked before buying your stamps."
I thought this was important information to pass along. For this and other wedding-related blogs, please visit the blog on my website.
