At the Post Office I was informed that the price of the stamp is going up 1 cent on January 22nd and that I should probably send them out before then. Yes of course I will just to be sure, could you imagine if 100 invites got returned back to my doorstep for lack of a penny on each?? I would be heartbroken and very upset to see my beautiful invitations stamped with RETURN TO SENDER all over them. Oof I bet I will have nightmares about this tonight.
I was planning on sending them out on January 24th as that marks the two month/8 week mark, but I suppose a few extra days early can't hurt.
I spent my Friday night tonight behind an assembly line stuffing 100 envelopes, and they are boxed and ready to go. Being the worry wart that I am, I stamped my parents invite and mailed it out to them JUST to make sure it makes it to them safe and sound with the correct amount of postage before placing all the stamps on the invites.
Did you have any worries about sending out your invites? How relieved will I feel once these babies are out of my hands??
I'd love to hear from you. Email questions, comments, or photos to blogzillabride@gmail.com

It's such a huge relief when they finally get mailed. I think I put extra postage on all of my invites cause I was starting to have anxiety about them getting returned. Plus I weighed them like 5 times.
I think you're making the right choice, because who wants to get stuck paying extra or having them returned? We sent our invites out way earlier than usual for personal convenience, and it worked out great.
SUCH a huge deal! You'll feel awesome. Also, even though the 24th marks the 2 month mark, sending them out a few days early will mean people will start RECEIVING them on the 2 month mark. Works out perfect! I sent mine out a few days early because I'm anal like that... not that I ever found out though, or remember, whether people actually started getting them on the right date. It's amazing the things that you think matter and then they stop mattering because you will have SO MUCH other stuff on your mind for 2 months out! Congrats on being so close to sending out invites!!
It will be such a HUGE relief! good for you, it makes total sense to get them out.
good thing you found out about the stamp increase! i bought all my stamps for my invites and before i mailed them out - there was an increase so i had to return all the stamps and exchange them! it was a hassle!
