The flower stamps are really pretty. I bought them for my thank you cards and the colors are so vibrant. Plus, most of the flowers on the stamps are what I used in my wedding! I lucked out big time. They would be pretty for a spring wedding, maybe on STD’s?

I have a funny stamp story. My now husband and I had to mail out about 200 invitations. We picked the purple 41 cent heart stamp you have listed for the reply card, and needed a 58 cent stamp for all the outer envelopes. Our color scheme was pink and brown and I had printed all the addresses in brown ink. I was so happy that the 58 cent stamp was a pretty pink heart to match my brown ink. My job was to address the envelopes and stuff them all. My husbands job was to proofread them, seal them, and stamp the outer and inner envelopes. One night I had hammered out about 75 of these and then went to bed. The next morning my husband tells me he made a huge mistake and not to get mad. While he was proofreading and stamping later that night, he spaced out and put the 41 cent stamps on both the inner and outer envelopes. So we had no 41 cent stamps left and a whole bunch of my pretty pink 58 stamps. His solution was to just bring them to the post office the next day and see if they could just add the 17 cent postage to the outer envelope. Then, later on that day I asked him what the 17 stamp looked like that was added. Oh my gosh!!! It was a big, ugly, sheep head!! I long-horned sheep to be exact. Out of all the possibilities of things to put on a stamp, why a big sheep head?? I was horrified at first, but then I had to laugh. It actually was funny!! He still gets heat from everyone about that.

We’re doing postcards for our Save-the-Dates, and I really don’t want put that panther on them, but FH doesn’t see the point…

Come to my wedding, you must. Hehe… nothing says wedding like Yoda.
I like the snowflakes for a winter wedding.

I made my own stamps with our engagement picture on them at stamps.com. They turned out really cute and the stamp is larger then normal so yu can actually see your faces. It is a bit pricy, but I thought it was fun and very different. This is what I am using to mail the STD’s and a different engagement picture will be on the magnet.

I’m even nerdier. our invitations just went out with the 39 cent snowflakes (winter wedding) and a 2 center because I HATED all the christmas stamps this year. SWEATERS? really?
