Sure, these purple pansies are pretty. No, they aren’t part of our color scheme at all, but that’s OK. What’s definitely NOT OK is trying to tell me that I should just put 2 LOVE stamps on each envelop at a cost of 88 cents. Seriously woman? That’s an extra 10 cents an envelope. Apparently, she didn’t see that I’m a poor, just out of school bride with a freaking huge guest list!
Lucky for me, I came prepared. I had written down all the stamps that I thought were decent looking and their respective denomination. She wouldn’t show me her binder of stamps, so I just started asking if she had the dolphin stamp or the Smokey mountain stamp. I ended up insisting that she check for the Zion National Park Stamp because it’s a 79 cent stamp. Thank goodness she found it.
It’s not the prettiest in the world, but I think it actually matches our invitations pretty well. It’s kind of like a sun, right? Gold and blue—I can’t complain. It matches our “Coastal Chic” affair fine. At that point, I just didn’t care anymore. I wanted these things gone.
And how about a quick side story…
Remember how Mr. Hot Wings and I donated his car? Instead of driving, Mr. Hot Wings and I went for a lovely bike ride to the post office. Not only did we pay the price in biking energy and stamps, a bird decided to literally crap on my happiness…
Do you see it? Don’t look at where I’m pointing, because apparently I’m not a very accurate pointer.
What stamp(s) did you use or are you hoping to use on your invitations? Does it matter?

My mom works for the post office and she’s scoping out sweet stamps right now!
