Q. “I’ve been instructed that we should always all the time have our marriage ceremony ceremony invitations hand canceled. What does this suggest?”

A. With out hand canceling, your invitations are run by the publish office’s machine-operated sorting system (which cancels out the postage so it could’t be used as soon as extra), and there’s a chance the envelopes might be damaged by the machine. With hand canceling, the postage stamp is hand stamped to cancel out the postage, and your invitations must arrive at your organization’ doorways in glorious scenario. You may positively want to have your invitations hand canceled, significantly when you consider the time frame invested in selecting the kind, handwriting names and addresses and stuffing the envelopes.
