vintage stamps

One of our favorite looks for wedding invitation envelopes is seeing them covered in lovely vintage stamps. This is another thing I can put my: what I wish I would have done for my wedding list.



Martha Stewart gives this advice:
Vintage stamps can be purchased from philatelic societies. They are worth the amount printed on them -- but they can cost much more, since they are collectible and limited in quantity. look HERE for more information [be sure to read about hand canceling your wedding invites]

Remember to have your wedding invites assembled and then weighed at the post office to know the exact postage needed before adding on all of your vintage stamps.

oh so pretty!
