Houston, we have a problem

I knew that our envelopes were square and that it would mean we’d need to pay an extra $0.20/envelope because of that, what I didn’t calculate was that by adding inner envelopes, the invitations are now over an ounce!!!! That means it now costs $1.05 to mail our invitations, and I somehow forgot about postage for the responses too.

At least the postage options are pretty for large denomination stamps (though they’ll all need supplemental postage):

And $2.08 to mail them internationally. Crapola.

That’s almost $200 in postage that I forgot to plan for. *&^#%$@!

INVITATIONS

I’ve ordered our invitations!!! I’m doing a little happy dance. It took lots of window shopping and fussing to finally decide on what to get, and now they’ll be here when I get back from Peru!

Ben got some nice pens for me from the campus store, so I’ll start addressing envelopes as soon as I get back. Wow, time is FLYING! We hope to have the invitations in the mail by my birthday (August 8th), that gives me 3 weeks to address 118 invitations and find appropriate stamps. Keep your eyes open and check your mail regularly in mid August!
