Our invitations are out, and I promise to post pictures later today or tomorrow (once people start receiving them). I am so happy with how they came out! Since designing invitations and personal stationery is what I now do full-time, the pressure was on. I went through about 5 other designs before I settled on these ones and I am so happy I did!
Other than having a love for invites and paper, I also love stamps! I started collecting them when I was about 8 and haven’t done anything with them in the past 5 years, but still love finding cool stamps. So when this LOVE stamp came out back in the mid-90s, I knew I had to have them for my wedding invitations. After much searching, I found them on eBay (of course)!
And since they were only 20c stamps, I had to use several on each invite, but they looked great!
Another option for cool stamps to fit with your theme is to order them on stamps.com. I recently had a client who really wanted to match her stamps to the designs on the inside of her wedding invitations. So, we ordered the photo ones and instead of uploading a photo, used the design below.
The post office won’t have pretty wedding stamps for awhile, so designing your own or ordering older stamps is a great option! 
Brilliant about buying retired stamps! There’s not nearly as much of a mark-up on them as I ever would have expected. I guess the WWW has facilitated stamp collecting immeasurably, to the point that very few stamps are really all that “rare” anymore. Very reasonable prices.
What a great idea. I wish I knew about this sooner!
Cool idea with the LOVE stamps. Those are great! As for stamps.com - Zazzle.com is cheaper for custom stamps. I designed mine on Monday and they are due to be on my doorstep tomorrow.
I love the personalized stamp thing. Not something I was willing to spend time or money on at this point, but adorable and a great detail none the less!
FYI, the post office doesn’t mark on the custom ordered stamps (learned that when I went to ask if I could hand cancel the ones I used on my Save-the-Dates).
That’s amazing that you remembered the stamps for all those years and then that you were able to find them online when you wanted them.
