What is a Hand Canceled Envelope?


An antiquated style of stamping envelopes remains to be a better way to send mail. I always tell the brides to ask the Post Master at the Post Office to "hand cancel" their invitations. Most of the time the post office personal will have no problem doing so. To keep your invitation clean and free of those pesky and ugly barcodes and skid marks when it's sent through a machine, this stamp is absolutely necessary. Not to mention, if the envelope is too thick with all of your custom designed accoutrement (invites, RSVP, etc.) they attach a nasty bar code sticker right on that beautifully shiny envelope. As you can see above, this image is of a "hand cancel" stamp, nicely placed on or next to the original stamp. Clean, beautiful and it maintains that original look that was initially designed.
