Canada Post is on strike. And if you are like any of the brides I'm working with right now, you are worried about your invitations - will they get out on time? will they get out at all? will it be too late?
The Wedding Co. posted some tips on their blog this morning on what you can do to try and salvage your invitation mailing.
- Be your own courier. Normally hand delivering a wedding invitation is a no-no, but if you don’t have the luxury of time (i.e., waiting a few weeks to see if the strike ends).
- Go online. Send an email to everyone with the details of your event so that they can start to prepare (especially if they have to book accommodations). Let them know the official invitation will follow soon.
- Head south. If you’re inviting guests from the U.S. or abroad, plan a little road trip. Take a nice drive down to the closest mailbox south of the border and your invitations will be sure to arrive on time. **NOTE: this will not help you with invitations that need to go to Canadian residents.
- Pick up the phone. For those guests you feel need a personal touch, you can always give them a call and leave a message or, better yet, engage in a lovely chat.
Hopefully this won't last long and business will be back to normal sooner rather than later. Keep checking the Canada Post website for up to date info.
