    Hi all,

    I was reading the recent posts about making your own RSVP postcards, and I thought I'd share this. http://tinyurl.com/dhfv4q

    These are regulations from the post office, as related by OvernightPrints.com, concerning where you can and can't print, in order to guarantee delivery. There are some areas that are required to be blank so the post office can put barcodes on them.

    Happy DIYing! ^_^

    Thankfully I didn't have to deal with all these regulations for USPS.  I actually had them make mine and send them out (postage included).  I got 100 save the dates for $93.00.  Their website it premiumpostcard.com.  I loved it we got to design it by ourself and upload all the address.  just a heads up if any other lady's do not want to address, seal and put postage on the save the dates.

    I just called the USPS to check on this very thing! The customer service department said that it's no problem to mail a postcard with rounded corners, and no extra fee. So, either the customer service rep didn't know what I meant, or the regulations have changed! :) Happy sending!!

    Yea I actually sent out 100 cards with rounded corners... and at least 90% (hopefully all) of them got to their destinations. I hope it wasn't a fluke b'cuz I love rounded corners!
