Planning to mail out your invitations soon? Here are a few tips to make sure your invitations arrive on time:
- Mail sent locally typically takes 2 business days to arrive, within the province takes 3 business days, within Canada takes 4 business days, to the United States takes 4-6 business days, and internationally takes 4-7 business days.
- Allow enough time for invitations to arrive, for guests to have time to respond (some like to procastinate a bit), and for reply cards to be received. I recommend at least 6-8 weeks before the wedding date, and more time for destination weddings (3 months in advance, with the announcement as soon as you've set a date so that travel and work arrangements can be made in time). Have the RSVP deadline at least a month before the wedding date so that the meals and seating chart can be finalized well in advance.
- Square-shaped or other non-standard shapes, and invitations weighing more than 30 grams cost more to mail. See detailed rates here.
- Canada Post now offers personalized stamps with your picture on it! 50 personalized stamps costs $52.50 plus tax and shipping. What a good way to display your engagement pictures and announce your upcoming wedding, or to send with your thank you cards?
