At the Postal Service, we're ready to spring into summer with new attractions and familiar favorite products and services at www.usps.com and in U.S. post offices:

• Star Wars Express Mail prepaid envelopes are a fun and convenient way to send your urgent mail zooming across the universe. For a limited time only, three-packs featuring special 30th anniversary Star Wars graphics of Darth Vadar, Luke Skywalker and Yoda can be ordered at www.uspsjedimaster.com. Each prepaid envelope can be used to mail as much as fits inside for a flat fee of $16.25 apiece ($48.75 for the three-pack), with overnight service guaranteed to most locations.
• For the new bride — a price decrease. Postage to mail 2-ounce wedding invitations has been lowered from 63 cents to 58 cents.
• Planning the perfect wedding? Our new Wedding stamp features vines that form the shape of a heart and was specially designed for mailing wedding invitations and RSVPs. Available June 27; it comes in both 2-ounce rate (58 cents) and 1-ounce rate (41 cents) denominations.
• The Forever Stamp. The latest consumer innovation from the Postal Service is a stamp that will remain good for mailing 1-ounce First-Class Mail letters, now and in the future — regardless of price changes.
• Celebrating is easy. No special trip to the store. No envelopes to lick. No postage to buy. Not even a trip to the post office or mailbox. Instead, you can keep in contact with loved ones, friends and family members and even customers with customized greeting cards, gift cards, postcards and letters created online at NetPost Print and Mail Services. You can personalize these with your own message for every occasion from spring to summer: graduations, bridal showers, weddings, anniversaries, thank-you notes and summer sales. Go to www.usps.com/netpost and click on Stay in Touch With Family and Friends.
• Click-N-Ship. Skip the trip to the post office and have your graduation and wedding gifts, and your Father's Day and Mother's Day packages, picked up from your home when your carrier delivers your mail. Just go to www.usps.com, click on Shipping Tools, then click on Click-N-Ship. With a computer, a printer and Internet connection, you can print shipping labels with or without postage.
