1. Always include postage for your guests on the response envelope (or postcard).

2. Before purchasing postage, always take a full invitation suite to the post office and have it weighed. Caution: DO NOT skip this step! It’s very important! If your invitations don’t have enough postage, they will all get returned and you will have to purchase (and address) new envelopes. (I've seen this happen first hand and it's a PAIN!)
