Mine were a painful $1.28 each. They weren't super heavy, but they were too thick at one part to go through the machines, so I got charged for special handling.
My postage cost 61 cents each. I had 5x7 envelopes that weighed 1.4 ounces.
For "average sized" rectangular envelopes, postage is 44 cents if it's under 1 ounce, or 61 cents if it's under 2 ounces. The postage for square envelopes is slightly more.
Here's a postage calculator from the USPS to help you figure out exactly how much yours will cost:
We looked at postcards for response cards and the stamps were only $0.28 each. It sounds silly, but the savings added up.
Mine were exactly 44 cents, thankfully! There wasn't much to them though - one letterpressed invite on Crane Lettra 220lb paper, one letterpressed RSVP card on 110lb paper, and Stardream envelopes for each.
Mine were 1.00 each because of the weight... and they were BARELY over the first class mail rate... ie. 33 grams for regular first class mail, and mine weight 35 grams... GR!!! Really adds up when sending 100 invitations
Mine were .44 -- just one stamp. I had a 5x7 invite, and two smaller cardstock inserts and a cardstock bellyband.
.81 cents - so I put two stamps for each.
My FI said "I bet you could have just put one stamp on those and they still would have gotten there." To which I replied "I worked too long on these to take any chances that they won't end up where they should be."
We had two sets of invitations: one for the ceremony and luncheon following it, and one for the at home reception. The ones for the reception were just one 5"x7" card, and they went for $0.44. The ones for the ceremony and luncheon were pocketfolds, with an invitation, three inserts, and a magnetic closure. The postage got bumped up to $0.61 due to being over an ounce, and then another $0.20 for being too thick to go through the mailing machines, so they were a total of $0.81.
We had online-only RSVPs, so we didn't need postage for them.
We stuck with a usual sized envelope & online RSVPs (absolutely no one had a problem RSVPing since grandparents had our aunts to RSVP for them), so total $0.44.
mine were 1.2 oz and they were 61¢ each. i had 110 lb paper, two sheets - one invite and one map, a reply card and envelope. i made a vellum belly band and tied each with crochet thread.
I was one of those unfortunate people that didn't even bother to think about postage. I was about to just plop a stamp on the envelope and send them out. Good thing DH made me go to the post office. Too bad I went there and discovered that they actually weigh things! I had heavy cardstock pocketfolds aaaaand they were an odd shape apparently. $1.48/invite. That was a bummer lol
@cecullaton: I'm with you! We were barely overweight too and it cost us $1 each. But we had 5 page invitations and a postcard RSVP so I can't be too upset about being a bit overweight ;) At least the $1 stamps were pretty! LOL!
Mine were 6.5" square pocket folds with four inserts.
$1.22 each
Mine were cheap. I did a postcard for the RSVP and a light invite. What can i say, I'm "green" and thrifty too. The whole thing was 44 cents plus 20 something cents for the post card. I just received an invite today where the outer envelope had $1 of postage plus 44 cents for the RSVP. They were BEAUTIFUL, just too fancy for my wedding.
61 cents. Ours were like 1.08 ounces. 0.08 ounces away from being 44 cents, ugh!
78 cents for our 2.1-ounce invites. It didn't seem heavy to me so I just gave FI 44-cent stamps to send his invites out. Of course, he didn't double-check and he sent his out before I double-checked mine.
Good thing I had read a couple post-office posts on the Weddingbee board, because the local post office told me since my invites weren't very bendable (pocketfold), it would cost $1.56!! Pshaw, I'm not going to take that lying down. I went to another post office see what they said. I had the clerk at the other post office double-check and she said 78 cents, and when my FI's undelivered invites were returned to me (since we did put a return address on it), his post office said it needed only 34 more cents. I know the USPS is going through a tough time, but when did it decide to be shady and all profiteering?
Our invitations were 61 cents each even though they are rectangular envelopes. Our RSVP postcards were 28 cents each - which was a good savings!!
Ours were $2.07 each (and $.44 for the RSVP), but we mailed the invites out in small boxes rather than envelopes. We have a smaller sized wedding, otherwise I would have gone with a cheaper set-up for sure.
.88c for the main envelope and .44 for the RSVP. Of course I bought custom photo postage, which added to the cost, but damn it was worth it!
Ours should have been 61 cents (1.1 oz.) with: invitation, inner envelope, stamped outer envelope, business card-sized website insert, RSVP card, and stamped RSVP return envelope. When I went to the post office to have them weighed BEFORE I stamped both envelopes, they were 44 cents and .9 oz. Once I stamped the envelopes, they were 61 cents, but I had already stamped them with 44-centers, so I had to buy a whole other set of 44 cent stamps, so they were 88 cents each. Annoying!
ours were 78 cents..we had 5x7, inner envelope, pocket fold invites with 3 inserts..i went to 2 post offices, and the first one was charging us $1.24, which i thought was a little much since i knew someone who had sent out invites similar to ours, so i went to another post office, and it ended up being cheaper...i'd suggest going to a few if the pricing seems much..
Just stamped mine today, 110 cards! Mine were either $1.05 or $1.32 depending on how many inserts the card had, plus 44 cents for each rsvp card. The actual cost for the heavier card was $1.22 but the 61 cent stamps were ugly so I opted for 3 44 cent stamps. We'll see how much the international cards cost tomorrow!
Mine were 1.05 each! This was not because of weight, but because of the size of the envelope. My advice go get your invites weighed and measured before any stamping is done!
I'm in Canada. I think our normal postage is about 57 cents. My invites were 1.00 each to send.
Mine were $1.05 to send, and we also included the postcard stamp (I think they were $0.28?) on each RSVP postcard.
Based on the USPS website, I actually thought they should have been more because they were square, rigid, and slightly oversized, so I checked with several post offices, but they all said the same thing.
mine will be 61 cents.
i was debating between two designs (i'm diy-ing these). one design i kind of liked and was flirting with that 1 oz line and one design i really like and was a solid 1.5oz. i'm going with the one i love, especially since the first design is really close to 1oz so it may end up being 61 cents anyway.

How much did it cost per invitation for you to mail them? And did you have extra postage due to usual size or heavy weight?
