Need real fast Xmas card mailing help

Real quick- if I mail a 5x7 photo card from Shutterfly in a regular 5x7 envelope, will it cost me extra or be the same price as any other size photo card.  I can only afford the bare minimum here and do not want to get caught spending 60+ cents on postage because it weighs more than the max of 1 oz..  Help!

 

It's okay if you think this is stupid...I'm just really, really that cheap:-)

I'll share my Christmas pic when I am finished with this mailing project!

    I'm not sure, but think it will cost extra postage.  You might check the US Postal website to see if they have sizes and base postage charges.

    OK, dont quote me on this....but I got 5x7 photo cards last year and I am pretty sure it just cost me the normal postage. I would remember if it cost me more.

    Nope, no extra postage. We just mailed out our announcements and a 5x7 falls under regular postage (as long as it doesn't have any extra weight).

    Aren't normal greeting cards at least 5x7?  I think postal costs are by weight, not size (unless one edge is larger than 12 inches or something like that).

    No extra charge for weight on 5x7.   Make sure that they are 5x7 though, the 5x5 square cards are extra because of the odd shape.

    Thanks guys!  I ended up doing the 4x8's because that is what the pampers points were good for (had the pampers point code before I realized that shutterfly had buy 75 get 25 free and you can't combine codes).  Oh well!  I ordered 50 cards and got 25 free to make me feel better.
