MAILING YOUR WEDDING INVITES
> PaperStudioByC is not responsible for invites once in the hands of the U.S. or International postal services.
> All PaperStudioByC envelopes, invites, materials, and font styles have been approved for mailing by our local post office.
> We highly suggest that you order extra invites to account for lost, damaged, or returned orders that may occur during the invite transit time when in the hands of the USPS.
> What to expect with the post office and your invites. Learn more here: https://about.usps.com/publications/pub100/pub100_078.htm


HAND CANCELING YOUR INVITES
> The U.S. Postal Service has machines that print bar codes on the envelopes, but hand-canceling (just marking each stamp – by a postal worker) keeps invitations neat and prevents damage that machines can cause.
> Talk to someone at your local post office about hand canceling if you want to learn more.
