just this week the united states postal service announced that in january of 2012 they plan on changing the price on stamps. standard stamps will go from 44 cents to 45 cents. postcard stamps will go from 29 cents to 32 cents.
why is this on my party planning site? well, lots of parties, especially weddings require a lot of postage. if you're sending 100 invitations with 100 stamped rsvp envelopes you'll be paying an additional 2 dollars. then add in your thank you cards for the shower(s) thank you cards for the wedding and other essentials and you have another dollar or so. it's not the biggest increase ever, but when it comes to the budget every penny counts.
it is also important to note that if you're using postcard stamps for your rsvps you need to consider when your guests will be sending them back- if your wedding is in 2012 don't buy the cheaper stamps or you'll be stuck adding extra postage.
to get ahead of the game check out the forever stamps that are good for, well, forever at the lower cost!
