Custom Wedding Stamps add the "wow" factor

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?

The Post Office

Yes - that's a place to start. The Post Office does have wedding stamps available. Here's a wedding stamp design at the 41 cent rate and the pink stamp for heavier invitations at 58 cents.



Beautiful Blooms ...
The Post Office also introduced a series of flowers bursting with color. These are striking close ups of single flowers - maybe one matches your wedding color.

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 41 cent stamps from the post office is $8.20. A sheet of 20 custom stamps runs about $13.00 when you buy in bulk (10 sheets or more). If you buy only one sheet, the price goes up to anywhere from $18 to $22.

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.)
