I think it should be fine, but I would take an example to your local post office first, to double check.
You can also try doing a test run of one of the postcards. We wanted to round our corners, but found that with our cardstock, they were getting caught in the machine and tearing bits off, so we ultimately went with regular corners.
I liked that look too, BUT when I asked the post-office, they said they don't ship them!
I purchased postcards that have rounded corners and they went through the mail fine. Maybe because they were normal sized though, not RSVP sized.
Yeah I think the safest way to go is just make a trial one and sent it to yourself to see how it handles the trip
I believe Miss Mascara did these? I don't recall her saying anything about having issues with them...
I rounded mine and had no troubles with the post office. Didn't even think of it being a potential problem until a couple of months later and saw it as a concern on here.
I have rounded postcards and sent them through the mail and they actually held up twice as well because the rounded corners kept the corners from getting all bent up and they still looked fantastic when they were done!
The Post Office won't mail rounded edges. I love the look as well, so we're doing STD cards inside regular envelopes. That way our gorgeous picture won't be ruined when it's tossed through the mail. And check out http://www.overnightprints.com/. They have a rounded corner option so you can save yourself some time!
Although officially the post office does not mail postcards with rounded corners, I sent out RSVP postcards and all 80 of our guests were able to send them back to us with no problems!
When I did my RSVP postcards all the post office told me is that they have to be a very certain size to be able to go through the machine. They gave me two measurements, a minimum and a maximum, and as long as it was within that range, they were good.
i just got a fiskars (thanks again bees!) rounder-thingy and i am rounding everything like crazy! mail it to yourself....hope it works out! says the new fan of rounded corners....
I rounded my corners on my RSVP postcards. They've been rollin' in without a problem for about 3 weeks now. They look really nice too. You might want to get thick paper though. I used 90lb water color paper. I purchased a watercolor paper book from a craft store for $10 and was able to make all my 100 postcards from it, and have paper left over!
I have my invite suite here:

I went ahead and got the rounder. I'll send a few to my mom and see how it goes. I am going to use a 4 x 6 piece of cardstock. Would #80 Linen Cardstock be thick enough?
@ Ms. Red Head, Your inviations look like a labor of love. I really like the idea of having your guest doodle a response. I'm interested to see what they come up with.

@ Kate6214, the invites were in deed a labor of love, but I enjoyed making them so much and so happy with the way they turned out. I took Mrs. Joey's idea with the 50 things to do and it turned out so well! It's all the info and directions in one spot and they were great!
We've had almost all our rsvp's returned. You can see a few responses here:
I agree with others: Mail it to yourself or a friend, then you can find out for sure. Good luck!
I asked my Post Office and they said that they wouldn't send a rounded corner postcard. So I didn't take the chance. I do love them though... =(
I love weddingbee for threads like this. Any questions I have are already answered. You guys are awesome.
I'm just happy to not be the only one obsessed with what the post office will and will not mail....

I really like the look of the rounded corners and I'm going to do an RSVP postcard, so before I go buying the tools can anyone tell me that these will be ok in the mail?
