I suspect that a DVD in a sleeve in an envelope has higher odds of surviving the Advanced Facer-Cancellers, Mail Processing Barcode Sorters, Delivery Barcode Sorters and Carrier Sequence Barcode Sorters. (I assume NetFlix envelopes get to bypass the Multiline Optical Character Readers and Remote Barcoding System entirely)
I would like to clarify some confusion here. There is a distinction between the DVD SLEEVE and the ENVELOPE, which is the red mailer with your address on it. The mailer has no distinguishing marks and is not related to the DVD inside in any way. The only barcode on the mailer is for the addresses to and from.
The barcoded sleeve, on the other hand, identifies the disc inside, with a name, year, and short description. If the DVD goes in the wrong SLEEVE, chaos ensues. I know. I got the 1992 version of Last of the Mohicans inside the sleeve for the 1920 version. You have no idea the trouble I went through to explain the problem to Netflix. They sent me the same mis-sleeved disc three times, because they NEVER looked inside the sleeve!
The second thing to keep in mind: is there is anything that prevents your envelope from being completely flat? Do you have a wax seal (either on the inside or outside), or maybe a ribbon that is tied around the invitation? All of these result in a one-way ticket to non-machinable town.
If they give you different rates, politely ask them to explain their reason for the rate, and how you got to yours. This usually will inform you on something you might not have thought of, or where you went wrong in your calculations. When actually mailing out your invitations, go back to the branch that gave you the rate you ended up trusting the most.
Vintage postage (meaning any stamps that are not standard issue on USPS.com) can be a great way to add personality to your piece of mail. Take for instance my couple, Audrey and Greg, who share a passion for everything space-related. Their wedding invitations featured (amongst others) Apollo 8 stamps, constellations and solar imagings. How cool!
I recommend using a double envelope method (inner and outer envelope) when using wax seals. You can also get a clear sleeve for your envelope, which will protect the envelope without compromising on the design. If using the sleeve, make sure you stick the postage on the clear sleeve itself so that the postage can still be canceled!
If you are asking your guests to return their RSVP card to you in an RSVP envelope, it is customary to pre-stamp the envelope for their convenience. RSVP envelopes generally have little more in them than the RSVP card, so generally speaking a 1oz Forever stamp should do the trick for this!
If you would like to avoid the cost of this extra postage, opt for a digital collection of your RSVPs. Most wedding websites such as The Knot have this feature built in, and you can keep all your RSVP information in one place.

Judy Robinson is a main character and the eldest daughter of the Robinson family in Netflix's 2018 television series Lost in Space. She is the daughter of Maureen Robinson and John Robinson is her adoptive father. She has a younger sister named Penny and a younger brother named Will. Her biological father Grant Kelly was believed to have died before she was born, though it later transpired that he was alive in stasis. Judy is trained as a medical doctor.
As a young girl, she considered both her biological father Grant Kelly and her adoptive father John Robinson her heroes. She, however, took it very hard after John Robinson broke up with her mother, Maureen Robinson. Initially, when he tried make things up, she told him that he could make them up with her siblings Will and Penny, as well as Maureen, but she was doing fine without him. ("Run")
As she and her family evacuated the Resolute for an unknown planet, she played a game of Go Fish with them. She asked just what had happened that would have caused them to evacuate, noting that the Resolute had made 23 routine trips prior to theirs, but her mother Maureen refused to speculate. Before they could finish their game, their spaceship, the Jupiter 2, crashed on the planet.
The vessel crashed inside an icy pond on the planet. They escaped, but found themselves in a precarious situation, as their spacesuits were low on power and without their warmth, they would die from the frigid conditions outside once the sun set. Furthermore, Maureen's leg was injured, preventing them from traveling any decent distance. It was suggested that someone travel back down under the water to fetch a big ion lithium battery to recharge their suits. Although her brother Will was initially proposed for the task, when he hesitated, she dived into the water instead.
Though successful at retrieving the battery, the water of the lake froze completely just before she could reach the surface and she was trapped underneath. It seemed as though her family's frantic efforts to rescue her would be for naught, but then Will appeared with an alien Robot that he had befriended. The Robot generated heat from his body which melted the ice, freeing Judy. ("Impact")
After the family got back aboard the Jupiter 2, she went to get a leg brace for Maureen from the 3D printer, insisting that she was fine despite her ideal under the ice. When John asked her how she was holding up, she told him she was "good." She thanked the Robot for saving her, but it was unclear how much he understood. She later took the pilot's seat as the family began the slow ascent of the Jupiter 2. She feigned disinterest when her sister Penny showed her a bag of Oreo cookies, asking if she had really spent 14.3 ounces of her personal weight allocation on them. It turned out that they were actually Maureen's, the last item on a checklist she had made. Judy told her that she had to wait for everyone before opening them, but Penny started to open them. When an alert sounded, Penny asked if they could trade off on fixing a clogged pump. When they saw that a storm was threatening their parents, Penny suggested they use the vessel's provided Chariot ATV. Judy felt that they could not get to it, buried in ice, because she had been told to go easy on the engines. She told Penny to stop panicking, even as it was clear she was only barely holding herself together. She was unable to stop her sister from flicking a switch to make a rapid ascent. They managed to make it to the surface and Penny told her that she was going to drive as the uncovered the Chariot 2, only to find that it was incomplete and bearing a sticker reading "some assembly required." When Judy sobbed and sat the end of a bench, Penny took off on her own. Judy later greeted her family when they returned in the Chariot. Penny told her that she needed to get back to being herself, so that she in turn could be herself. They hugged. ("Diamonds in the Sky")
She left following a family meeting, saying that she needed to relax. John found her on one of the ship's treadmills and asked about it and she told him there was a difference between rest and relaxation. He told her that he knew what the fear she had experienced could do to her body and mind, but she insisted she was fine and resumed running on the treadmill. After he left, however, she displayed signs of nervous tension. When he was exploring in the ship's tunnels later, she asked if it was safe and he said it was the first time he had ever heard her ask that question. She shot back that he had not been around to hear much of anything. He told her it was okay if she didn't want to be there with him, but she said that four hands were better than two. They were interrupted and back up above, she looked at the iced-up window and experienced a flashback to her panicked reaction when she was trapped underneath. She drew a smiley face on the window and, as she walked away, something could be seen slithering outside. She later offered to help her father as he faced the fuel eel crisis, but he told her to sit it out. She said that she could handle it and he told he believed her, but he wanted her to believe it too. As the vessel was tossed about in the icy waters, she became trapped under rubble and hyperventilated, unable to reach a communication device to call for help. She summoned her strength and reached a tool to free herself, still panting heavily but okay. She rejoined her family on the bridge, where they discovered that despite having apparently solved the problem, they still couldn't launch. She came to realization and urged her family to dump the vessel's fuel, explaining that if the fuel eels were still in the tank, they could be clogging the intake valve, preventing whatever fuel was down there from getting into the combustion chamber. If they could just clear it, there would still be enough fuel in the lines to get out. At John's urging, she implemented the plan and they successfully escaped, touching down on green, verdant land. She smiled in excitement with the rest of the Robinsons as the ship's comm systems reactivated and they received a transmission from a Mark of the Jupiter 22. She shared hugs with her family as they listened to a transmission from the Resolute stating that the ship was okay. Afterwards, she ran on the treadmill again and John joined her on the neighboring treadmill. ("Infestation")
