How much postage for your invitations?

This question still comes up a lot.  I've already written about mailing save the date magnets out, and will focus just on postage here.

The main question when figuring out postage is: how much does it weigh?  Postage cost is based mostly on the weight, so that is the logical place to start.

There are some quirks though, that you might want to be aware of.

The one that often surprises people, even though it has been a rule for quite some time: a square invitation such as 5.5x5.5 inches, will cost about 20 cents more to mail out than a rectangular invitation, such as the common 5x7 inches.

Most save the date cards and magnets will not require more than a forever stamp (first class) when you are mailing with the US postal service, because they are usually fairly small (5x3.5 inches, 5.5x4.25 inches) and will weigh under an ounce.
