Self-Mailer Wedding Invitations
One of the most exciting and scariest days of your wedding planning will be when you go to the post office to mail all of your wedding invitations. After you drop those invitations in the box, you’ve passed one of the big moments and you know that in just a few weeks the celebration will be taking place.
Before you get to that point, however, you’ll be spending plenty of time preparing those invitations for mailing. The good news is some wedding invitations can make it a bit easier.
Wedding Invitations with a Self-Mailer Pocket
Imagine a wedding invitation that doesn’t need a separate envelope. You don’t have to worry about arranging all of the elements just right, then sliding them into the oversized envelope carefully, or handwriting all of those hundreds of addresses on the fronts of each of them. Wouldn’t that be amazing?
Self-mailer wedding invitations can help you accomplish all of that. Your wedding information is printed on a white insert that sits inside the colored mailer (burgundy, willow, charcoal, and brown are all available). You seal the mailer with wafer seals which do come with the package of invitations. Then, instead of hand writing all of the addresses, you can simply print them on the sheet of address labels which are also included. That means you’ll also worry less about making a mistake on one of the envelopes because you can double check the names and addresses before you print them and adhere them to the self-mailer invitation.
A Few Reminders about Mailing Wedding Invitations
While we’re on the subject of mailing wedding invitations, it’s important to remind you of a couple of details that often get forgotten in the excitement of the wedding planning. First, never assume you know how much postage your wedding invitation requires. Because of all the included elements, you usually won’t get by with a single first-class postage stamp. Invitations without sufficient postage are going to end up right back at your home IF you’ve included a return address which some couples don’t. Instead, take at least one of your finished invitations to the post office and have it weighed so you’ll know precisely how much postage to purchase for each of them.
Don’t forget that you should also purchase plenty of stamps for your response cards. As the host, you need to pay for that postage not your guests. Make sure you have pre-addressed the response cards, too. A higher response rate is guaranteed if you make returning the card as easy as possible for the guests.
