Sweet Stamps

Thursday, March 24, 2011

It's hard to resist the loveliness of mismatched stamps, but I absolutely adore the look of coordinated colors or themes! These pink, floral beauties (along with Primele's Chasta calligraphy) are perfect for a garden fête, while invitations that pay tribute to your home states, the school where you fell in love or your favorite films are the perfect way to showcase your personalities even before guests open the envelope!

  3. yes! I think stamps are so overlooked when it comes to invites sometimes. You're so right - they can really send a wonderful message about the couple's personality! We used the Simpsons stamps on our invites because we wanted our guests to immediately know this was a fun and joyous occasion for us and what better way to show it than to have Homer on the front, right? I absolutely would have used these gorgeous pink stamps, however - so sweet.

    The penmanship for the addresses don't hurt either!

  17. Lena, you are one of those people whose comments I live for. You rock so hard! I'm ridiculously glad you won something from TKB because at least I've remotely paid you back for all the love you give. xoxo for reals.

    Also, OMG cutest stamps ever. :)

  18. Whoever did this envelope needs to do my wedding invitations.
    If you did this envelope, then I must have you.
