The first real impression your guests will have of your wedding will be from your invitation, most likely. Why not set the mood before they even open the envelope? Let’s face it; in this global age where most communication is done through cyberspace or satellites, it is a treat to get ‘real’ old-fashioned mail. And if that mail is pleasing to the eye from the outside, it will make your friends and family that much more interested in what is on the inside. Set the stage, reflect your personality, or simply make it pretty. Vintage stamps can be used to lay the foundation and to beautify those many envelopes your guests will be receiving. It may take some time, but vintage stamps that haven’t been cancelled can be found and purchased and then a beautiful combination of those stamps can be used to amount to the correct postage for your invitations. Do you love camping, or did you meet your fiancé when you were backpacking? Maybe some wildlife stamps would start to tell your story. Are you having a beautiful garden wedding in the spring or summer? Vintage flowers and garden scenes can grace your lovely invitations. Or maybe you want to reflect the adventurer in you…did you meet your special someone abroad, or do you have dreams of traveling the world with him? Whatever you want your message to be, vintage stamps may add just the right touch. And, yes, it is all in the details!
