karma: 1 |  Help! RSVP Postcards
I want to create my own RSVP postcards using cardstock. I have searched and searched and can not find what I am looking for. What I want is to know what are the requirements (sizing and weight) so I can use postcard stamps. Also, does anyone know of a template that I can use for the front and back of the cards? I am at a total loss and ready to pull my hair out!!!

Oh, and I would like to use either Word or Publisher to create the postcards.
Thanks!

Postcard Standards:
Minimum Allowable Postcard Size: 3.5 x 5 Inches
If the width is less than 5 inches or the height is less than 3.5 inches the USPS will NOT mail your postcard.
Maximum Allowable Postcard Size: 4.25 x 6 Inches
If the width is greater than 6 inches or the height is greater than 4.25 inches, the postcard must be mailed as a letter, higher rate and all.
Minimum Thickness: .007 Inches
Any mail less than the minimum is considered Non-Mailable and the USPS will NOT deliver it.
Maximum Thickness: .25 inches
Exceeding the maximum puts the mail piece into a different mail class, called a Parcel.
Intermediate Sizes are Allowable
A 4 x 5.5 inch postcard is mailable at the postcard rate. As long as a mail piece meets the size, thickness, weight and aspect ratio requirements above, it can be mailed as a postcard.
Minimum Thickness: .007 Inches
Maximum Thickness: .25 inches
Space reserved for USPS Barcode and Endorsements
Aspect Ratios
Aspect Ratio Rule: a 1st Class mail piece (letter or postcard) must have an aspect ratio that falls between 1 to 1.3 and 1 to 2.5 inclusive.
Definition of Aspect Ratio: The length (width) of a piece divided by the height of the piece.
A letter with the dimensions of 4x6 has an aspect ratio of 1 to 1.5 which falls into the allowable aspect ratio range.
Height = 1 Width = 1.5 ( 6 / 4 )
