Sending Wedding mail that's beautiful, timely, and easy on the Bride!

You've planned and planned for your wedding!  You're almost there!  Now it's time to mail your invitations!  We at Sunset Beach Weddings recently received a tip booklet from the Postal Service with some valuable information on making your invitation process easier.

This info is great for the traditional wedding and also for your beach destination wedding in Panama City Beach, on the Beaches of 30a, or in Destin, Florida.  www.usps.com recommends the following checklist:

Save the Date: 3 Months before the Wedding.

Wedding Invitation: 6-8 Weeks before the Wedding.  Include a reply card (with option that you might like selected (food choices, etc) and a reception card (with directions to the reception if different from the ceremony site).

Wedding Announcement (optional): The day after the wedding.  For family, friends, and colleagues who weren't on the guest list but who will want to know about the nuptials.

Thank you Notes: Within the month following your honeymoon.  For gifts received on your wedding day.  And immediately for gifts received before the wedding.

TIP:  Only purchase postage after you've assembled your invites, so you can weigh an envelope, all inserts included, to determine which stamps you'll need.  Most invites are between 1 and 2 ounces, and the Weddings series stamps pair a 1-ounce forever stamp with a 2-ounce 70-cent stamp for flexibility.

TIP:  Send a test invitation to yourself before the reset are mailed.  You'll confirm you've used the proper post and and have a copy of your invite -- complete with a local postmark -- to save.

There are some interesting wedding and love related stamps that the postal service offers, and there are online services that will print personalized stamps as well, so go online or into your local branch to check them out!
