Did you hear?  The Post Office is raising their prices again.  Effective May 11th, the price of a first-class stamp will go from $0.42 to $0.44.  Envelopes between 1-2oz. will go from $0.59 to $0.61.  Remember that you can buy ‘Forever’ stamps.  Just buy them before May 11th to get the $0.42 price.

They are also releasing a new wedding stamp!  Here are the designs:

I can’t say I love them but they’re not awful.  I like that the Post Office is using photographic images instead of clip-art-y drawings like they usually do for weddings.  Plus these were taken by a local DC photographer!

ATTENTION SPRING BRIDES! Are you sending your invitations before May 11th?  Are you stamping your RSVP envelopes like a good bride should?  Don’t forget that your little responses won’t make it back to you if they don’t have enough postage.  The post office will have no problem returning them to your confused guests.  Check your RSVP date and either use Forever stamps or the new $0.44 wedding stamp.
