How much postage do I need for my Letterpress save the dates and invitations?

Great question! We've put together this helpful guide to the approximate weights of our Letterpress paper products. We highly recommend you stop by your local post office once you've put your invitations together to have a sample envelope weighed, that way you can be sure you're using the right amount of postage!

  • Save the Dates = less than 1 oz
    • w/ envelope = 1 oz or less
  • Invitation = less than 1 oz
    • + RSVP w/ envelope = over 1 oz
    • + details/reception = over 1 oz
  • Thank you card = less than 1 oz
    • w/ envelope = 1 oz or less

If you don't have time to stop by your local post office you can also calculate your postage on their website.
