Personal Touch: Wedding Stamps

Brides are loving personal touches on everything for their big day.  From the wedding cake to the photography to the perfect playlist, brides want elements of their personality integrated into each and every detail of their big day.  In fact, we spend so much time finding the perfect stationery, from save-the-dates to invitations to thank you notes, that an oft-overlooked item is one of the first wedding-related details to be seen by the guests: the postage.

Because it’s all in the details, it’s important to find the small elements that needn’t go unnoticed.  Placing a wedding-themed stamp on your invitation adds just a little something special to an otherwise mundane detail.

In case you haven’t seen, there is a plethora of wedding-themed stamps from which to choose.  You have your pick of postage that relays something special about your wedding. Whether it’s a photo of your bouquet flowers, or an image resembling your ring, you can literally put a unique stamp on your day.

Zazzle.com offers an array of wedding-themed stamps, and USPS.com unveiled wedding stamps last year.  At zazzle.com, customers have their pick of Small, Medium, or Large.  Though the stamps cost more than their face value (a sheet of 20 small stamps, for example, costs $20.60), it’s a small price to pay for a unique wedding detail.

And for an easy way to tie everything together, aside from sending matching stationery, purchase the same stamp in bulk.  Use the same style stamp for your save-the-dates, thank you cards, and any other item included in your stationery repertoire.  It’s a simple way to ensure your theme remains constant.  But if you prefer variety, stamps with “RSVP” or “You’re Invited” are also available.
