Have you be procrastinating on getting out your “Save the Date” cards or wedding invitations? US postage rates go up 2 cents on Monday, May 11, so if you bought special 42 cent stamps to use, get your mail out today or add 2 cent stamps to them when you mail them out next week.
Speaking of stamps, did you know can create a stamp using a photograph of you and your fiancee? Check out the wedding section at stamps.com for more information. The stamps are more expensive than regular over-the-counter stamps so budget should be a consideration when considering purchase. Also, be sure you order the stamps for the right amount of postage. Invitations that are square or rectangular in shape, thick, or more that one ounce in weight will cost more to mail. Take an invitation to the post office and have a postal worker give her the exact cost to mail it.
