OK, I know that sound really silly- but not nearly as silly as what followed.
Yesterday I was in the post office waiting in line, minding my own business…
And the young woman about three people in line ahead of me wants to order wedding stamps –
Clerk #1 has none and refers her to clerk #2 (the really LOUD ONE)…
Who also doesn’t have any – but can order them and have them in two days….
Clerk: “How many do you need?’
Bride: “100 – do you have a book or something that shows the kinds you haveâ€
Clerk: “No, just have the purple love stamps – you can use those for the inskirt envelope- and you’ll need the pink love stamps for the outskirt envelope cause they’re .58 eachâ€
Ok, now I’m not sure with out seeing the invitation, knowing the size shape or weight of the envelope HOW she knew it would only need .58 postage…
Because a 2 ounce envelope goes up to about .75 –
But “inskirt and outskirt�
It was all I could do not to bust out laughing…
And of course first day back after the holiday – and 29 degrees and windy….I’m not in wedding planner mode – ball cap, haven’t shaved, jeans, sweatshirt…
Not the look you want to stop this bride on spin and say’ excuse me, but…â€
So alas… unless she is a local reader of The Queen of Hearts Blog… she’s bound to have some invitations returned.
Moral of the story: Take your invitations- ‘inskirt’ envelope with response card, and a full set to the post office and have it weighed! Then order the stamps – waiting a day to mail them and having the correct postage will be worth the wait.
