remember when stamps were 32 cents???
i was digging through my sticker stash recently and i found these…
i must have saved one of each stamp design that i thought was special back then.
i love postage stamps! however, i’m not a collector of them. i actually like to use my stamps and i’m always buying the prettiest ones currently available, whether at the local post office or online at usps.com.
every once in a while, i fall in love with an absolutely beautiful design and i pretty much stock up until they run out.
my current favorite is this cherry blossom centennial forever stamp.
maybe it’s the pink or maybe it’s the cherry blossoms, but either way, these stamps go very well with all my stationery goods.
i believe wedding invitations help set the theme of your special day. whether you decide to go super formal or simply casual, your invitation is the first glimpse of what your guests will be expecting on your special day. and definitely something that reflects your sense of style.
as i was designing jenny & peter’s wedding invitations, it was very clear that their wedding celebration will be a very formal and exquisite event. the use of creme paper stock with gold metallic paper and ink introduce the very upscale choice of their wedding colors and their choice to do a pocket envelope style invitation with a postcard reply card still give it a very modern feel.
doing a postcard style reply card means you also save a little on postage stamps. unfortunately, the only current $.28 postcard stamp available right now is an image of a polar bear. now, little details like that mean the world to me. so it was great to know my client felt the exact same way when we decided to go with the $.44 wedding ring stamps.
sometimes it’s worth spending that little extra to make something look that much better.
the request to have an image of 2 rings intertwined made for a perfect monogram with jenny & peter’s initials, which i think also symbolizes a great union of the two together.
the current $.61 wedding stamp also fit perfectly with the style and color of the wedding invitation. i just love when things like that fit so perfectly together!
