Forever Stamps for Holiday Cards: What to Know Before Mailing
Forever Stamps for Holiday Cards
Holiday mail often includes greeting cards, family updates, photos, invitations, thank-you notes, and seasonal letters. Forever Stamps are commonly used for many standard First-Class Mail letters within the United States, which makes them a practical option for seasonal correspondence.
Before mailing a full batch, assemble one complete card exactly as you plan to send it. Include the envelope, card, photos, inserts, liners, seals, or any extra pieces. Then check the weight, size, shape, and thickness requirements before applying postage.
When One Forever Stamp May Not Be Enough
Square envelopes, rigid cards, thick paper, wax seals, photo inserts, or oversized envelopes may require additional postage. If your holiday card feels heavier or less flexible than a standard letter, confirm postage before mailing.
