Attention brides!  If you are mailing your invitations after April 17, be sure and review the new postage prices shown below.  While 1st class postage (up to 1 ounce) remains the same, heavier invitations will cost more to mail.    RSVP postcard postage prices will also increase 1 penny to .29 cents.

We're glad that the 1st class postage will not increase!  We also love how the customized stamps look on these fantastic envelopes courtesy of Forever Wedding. (If you're interested in custom invitations and envelopes, you'll love their designs!)
