But first you must jump over one last hurdle: taking an invite to your local post office to have it weighed. And in some cases, depending on how many people you've invited, it's a high hurdle to jump. Postage is expensive!
Having been unemployed through the majority of this wedding planning experience, I have meticulously plotted out each expense, so as to not need to spend too much all at once. And purchasing wedding postage was no exception. Back in December I began to purchase the 61c wedding cake stamps, one sheet per month. And just two weeks ago I put our first invite together, brought it to the post office, and was shocked to learn that it was only going to cost one of these stamps per invite to mail!
What's this, you say? A little bit of wedding luck coming our way?? Well, yes, and no. Postage on 2-ounce packages (like our wedding invites) is going up by 3c! That's right, after I purchased 4 sheets of 61c stamps. *sigh*
But what did you say, Mr. Post Master? There are 3c stamps available for purchase that will take care of this little predicament? Wonderful! Which one works the best for a wedding? "Well, none of them, ma'am" Wonderful.
And so, after carefully considering each 3c stamp, I reveal to you: our wedding stamp suite!
We chose the chair stamp, simply due to its vintage look. The animal rescue stamps were chosen in honour of our two babies, our pug Tasha and our kitty Maximus, each of whom were rescued by us. I know no one will pay as close attention to our stamp choice aside from myself, but wedding fever knows no bounds!
Did you have any special reasons for your stamp choice, or was it simply a matter of convenience?
