Just a friendly reminder that postage goes up on Sunday. So you might want to stock up on some Forever Stamps (especially if you have Thank You notes or invitations to send anytime soon).
The price for a first-class Forever postage stamp is currently 68-cents and will bump up to 73-cents on July 14th. It doesn’t seem like a big hike if you’re just mailing one birthday card. But if you’re sending out a ton of envelopes (like for a wedding), that will add up. There’s the wedding officiant in me always thinking ahead for you!
Let’s say you’re sending out 100 invites to your wedding. But you start with Save The Dates, then the invitations, then you pre-stamp the RSVPs, then you send Thank You Notes after.
If you buy all the stamps now before the increase:
Save the Dates- 100 x .68 = $68
Invites & Pre-Stamped RSVPs- 200 x .68 = $136
Thank You’s- 100 x .68 = $68
GRAND TOTAL: $272.00
If you wait until the price goes up, you’ll be paying $292.00 for the same amount of stamps. That’s a $20 savings. And why not? Better to keep that $20 in your pocket by planning ahead!

The Best (Commercial) Moment From Last Night’s Ravens & Chiefs Game
I am so excited that football season is back in full swing. Talk about a GREAT game last night with the Ravens losing to the Chiefs by a toe: 27-20! But the moment that melted my heart was a commercial they slipped in for dog food. It seems they usually save these super sweet, tear-jerker, […]

More Herbs, Less Salt
I am not one to normally shy away from Garlic Salt. Salt on popcorn is pretty delicious, too. But on this August 29th, it happens to be “More Herbs, Less Salt” Day. (Which really is a thing, I’m not just making that up.) If you happen to pick up a Mrs. Dash (which is a […]
