Custom Postage—A Special Touch For Your Wedding Invitations!

You may have already seen one show up in your mailbox. If not, you will soon. Personalized wedding stamps add the "wow" factor—and brides across the country are taking notice.

Since the Post Office allowed customized stamps, thousands of brides across the country have stamped their invitations with their own personal touch.














So where do you find great wedding stamps?
Just listed on the USPS website are the new wedding stamps - the 44 cent wedding rings and the new 61 cent wedding cake stamp.


With this ring ... Here is the new 44 cent stamp with two gold wedding rings. Photographed by Renée Comet of Washington, DC, the rings rest on a small white pillow united by a slender ribbon of white silk.


3 tier Wedding Cake Stamp -
The new 61 cent stamp features a wedding cake with intricate scroll design on the fondant. Sure to add a touch of beauty and romance to wedding correspondence, the 2009 Wedding Cake stamp is being issued at the two-ounce mailing rate in order to accommodate the heavier weight of an invitation.

You should be able to find these at your local post office. If not, call toll-free at 1-800-STAMP-24 or shop online.



If these don't suit your taste, you do have options.
Create your own or choose a pre-designed stamp from thousands on the web.

When choosing a custom stamp, you'll pay a bit more. A sheet of 20 1st class 44 cent stamps from the post office is $8.80. A sheet of 20 custom stamps from Zazzle runs about $18.00 when you buy in bulk (10 sheets or more). If you buy only one sheet, the price goes up to anywhere from $19 to $24.

If the cost of custom postage for ALL your invitations is out of reach, you can purchase just one or two sheets for special wedding guests. (Note to scrapbookers: one sheet of stamps fits perfectly in a standard scrapbook page.)

There are thousands of beautiful postage designs available - one sure to match your colors, flowers, monogram or even destination! Many graphic designers will work with you personally to create that special look that will make your envelope pop.
