Weigh A Complete Invitation 

• Before mailing your wedding invitations, first
  weigh a fully assembled envelope containing all
  cards, inner envelopes. By checking the weight of
  outer envelope, you can know exactly how many
  stamps you'll need.
• Measure your envelopes and check how much a
  complete invitation weighs before you send them
  out. It will be an embarrassment if your guests
  have to pay fine and extra postage to receive
  your wedding invitation.

Time To Visit The Post Office
Do not drop your wedding invitations in the
corner mailbox near to your home. Automated
postage machines will process the high cards and
have chances of getting bent, torn or can get
dirty. The right time to post your wedding
invitations depends upon the date of your
wedding. Generally, it is a good option if you
post your invitations eight weeks before the
wedding day. If your guests are from out of town
guests, or from other countries, make sure you
should post them to save the date card and plenty
of information about accommodation, the local
areas from around six to eight months before the
wedding. Later you can send them their official
invitation when you send invitations to everybody
else.

  envelopes of certain shapes, sizes and weights

  invitations, hand prepared, you have to pay a
  little extra for this service, but it is the best
  option as it will guarantee that your mail will
  process without bending or spoiling envelopes.
  Dont forget to put a return address on the back
  of the invitations to prevent the invitation gets
  lost while during the post.
