@moosey: Awesome idea. $100 bucks I think is reasonable too if you can afford it. However, you still need to factor in postage.
I'd love to receive this in the mail!! What a fun idea. I'm in Calgary, but I have no idea about postage, I hardly mail anything except standard letters! Sorry I can't help with that part.
@mwitter80: The $100 includes postage (assuming it's non-standard lettermail). :) It's just a rough estimate and I know things have a tendency to climb upwards with DIY projects, though.
I'm thinking it's non-standard lettermail because it would have some things you're not supposed to put in regular mail, like food. It's not a weight issue or anything like that. I'm thinking if we committ to doing this I can put one together and take it to the post office and ask if it's standard or nonstandard, because standard would be WAY cheaper.

We only have to send out 27 STDS so I've been thinking about doing something a little more fun than your standard postcard (not that those are anything less than awesome). I have this idea brewing in my head but I think it needs some polishing -- I need help!
My idea is to take fun printed paper bags, and put a postcard STD, a photo of us, some calendar stickers, some candy (cheap after Valentine's day!) and maybe a noisemaker inside. It'd be like a goodie bag but filled with things to help save our date.
So I'm wondering...
a) is this silly?
b) for my fellow Canucks, would this be considered non-standard lettermail? do you think a bubble mailer or regular oversized envelope would work?
c) I priced this all out to around $100 total -- is that too expensive for 27 STDS? is it worth it?
Any input is much appreciated!
