Postage question

Does a 5X7 invitation need special postage? No right? Same as mailing a card?

Re: Postage question

I am pretty sure it is done by weight. 1 oz or less is 42 cents, 1.1 oz to 2 oz is 58 cents, etc..

Re: Postage question

yes. i believe if it needs extra postage it will usually say it on the invitation wrapper. I think a regular stamp and you should be fine
