The United States Postal Service has announced increases (again). They are significant this time around so if you have sizeable wedding mailings, you might want to get them out prior to January 26, 2014.
List of increases (by JANUARY 26, 2014):
  • Letters (1 oz.) — 3-cent increase to 49 cents
  • Letters additional ounces — 1-cent increase to 21 cents
  • Letters to all international destinations (1 oz.) — $1.15
  • Postcards — 1-cent increase to 34 cents

What this means:
  • The 2 oz. "wedding stamp" will increase significantly. Currently, it is $.66, these increases mean that it will jump to a whopping $.70.
  • Still a flat rate for your international guests at $1.15.
  • Those Save the Date postcards are worth mailing prior to the increase to avoid the additional penny...
