What stamps should you use for wedding invitations in the UK?

Short answer

Use standard Royal Mail first or second class stamps, or a large letter stamp if your invitation is bigger or heavier. You do not need special wedding stamps, though you can choose a pretty design if you like.

There is no special wedding stamp required in the UK. You can use any standard stamp that covers the postage cost. Royal Mail offers first and second class stamps, and you can buy them in booklets or as singles. For larger or heavier invitations, you will need a large letter stamp, which costs more. Some couples like to use commemorative or themed stamps for a personal touch, but that is purely optional. The important thing is that the total value of stamps equals the correct postage for your invitation's weight and size. You can also use a postage meter or print postage online, but stamps are simple and widely available. If you are unsure, ask at the Post Office when you weigh your invitation. They will sell you the right stamps. Avoid using old stamps that may no longer be valid, and always check the current rates, as they change. For international invitations, you will need international stamps, which are different from UK ones.
