As of January 27th 2019, USPS has new prices for domestic mail.

HOW DOES THIS IMPACT YOUR INVITATION BUDGET?

Prices for regular mail (one ounce or less) are increasing by 5 cents, from 50 cents to 55 cents.

However, the charge for additional ounces is decreasing from 21 cents to 15 cents.

Most wedding invitations are usually 1.5 to 2 ounces. Because of the extra ounce, your invitation will require a single, one ounce, 55 cent stamp plus an additional one ounce, 15 cent stamp. And don’t forget to stamp your RSVP envelopes with a single, one ounce, 55 cent stamp!

So, for standard wedding invitations mailed in 2019, your postage budget should be $1.25 per invitation.
