Small Envelopes Royal Mail Stress!

I received a Save The Date magnet from a friend last week which was tiny and in an envelope the same size as it (A vistaprint magnet, although not sure of the size).

?I'm beginning to panic now, we are just about to print out our 'save the day' magnets and were planning to post them this weekend.

Our envelopes are VERY small, , , , , , ,

I wouldnt worry too much about it. We sent out tiny little cards in envelopes and everyone got theirs. Think the size of ours were about 5cm by 7-8cm. so really tiny.

Suppose they could get lost easily, but think it would be ok. ?

Personally I wouldn't worry.

I send things in envolopes a lot smaller all the time and not had a problem yet. Also had several parcel envolopes a lot smaller and had no issues there either.

I sent business card size save the date magnets out in small envelopes, I wasn't aware of any royal mail restrictions and everyone got theirs as far as I know.

I work for a solicitor and we post mail of all shapes and sizes, we've never had any problems so i wouldnt worry to much.

Just be careful with the weights of your invites because they can get you for under paying for your items and then your guests will have to pay a penalty (the difference plus an 80p admin fee)

If you still have your doubts i'd just pop into your local Royal Mail distribution centre and just ask them x

Mine are A7 and I worried about this. I spoke to my friend who got married last year as she had the same size RSVP envelopes. She said she had no problems and received all that had been sent fine.

I wouldn't worry about it - I'm not!

My OH used to work for royal mail, what it means is that envelopes that small can not go through the machine (which reads the postcode and sorts it electronically) instead they will be sorted by hand. They wont get lost its just royal mails way of trying to get people to use envelopes a size that will go through the machines for ease and speed.

My rsvp cards were A7 74mm x 105mm so teeny weeny!

All 100 (save for a few that were "lost in the post") came back absolutely fine.

I gave it no thought at the time so I wouldn't worry about it- I think it's just the Royal Mail covering their a**

Tbh, you could send a letter the size of an elephant and Royal Mail would still manage to lose it...

LOL!

I wouldn't worry, our RSVPs were teeny tiny and didn't even have envelopes, they're just like mini postcards. They've mostly come back fine, a few have been 'lost in the post' but firstly, I'm thinking some people have just used that as an excuse, and secondly, we sent out 50 in total so would have expected a couple to be lost whatever size they were.

As a 'bonus'... a lot of ours have not got a postmark, so if we were feeling really skint we could steam off the stamps and re-use them haha!

Phew thanks everyone! Feel far less stressed now lol!! Thought I'd post a flash of them as a thank you!

Oh I love those Aleox! Coming to this late so apologies but our RSVPs were def below the size guide above and we got them all back absolutely fine!

Woooo your my date twin ?

They have those restrictions because of the machines, they can get chewed up in them and lost in them with them being so small, they aren't much smaller though so should be okay x
