A trend we’re seeing a lot of lately is postcards being used
as wedding stationery. We love this idea as a way to skim a little off the top
of your invitation budget! Whether you choose postcards for your save the dates
or your RSVP card, sending a postcard will save you money and time! Here’s our
list of top reasons why postcards are all the rage in wedding stationery!
Postage: 34 vs. 49
The current rate for a postcard is just 34 cents, while a
regular stamp is 49 cents. While this might not seem like big differences in
price, it can certainly can add up if you have a lengthy guest list!
Time Crunched Bride
For the bride that is crunched for time, postcards can be a
great option for the simple fact that you’ll save time licking and stuffing
envelopes! Simply write your guests’ names on the back, add a stamp and you’re
good to go! If you want to save even more time, print labels with your guests
information on them!
Adios Envelopes
Using a postcard is also budget-friendly because it
eliminates the need for envelopes! You’ll save money by not needing to order
envelopes and you’ll save a little weight on each one too!

Professional: Borders & Limitations
Did you know that there are certain rules that you have to
use when mailing a postcard? There are certain size limitations and areas of
the postcard that must remain free of any design or wording. Contact a wedding
stationery professional when ordering your postcards to ensure that they won’t
get sent back to you for violating any of those rules. We happen to know a good
one ;)
Happy Planning!
