Vintage Stamps

I absolutely love this idea from Greer Chicago - Vintage Stamps. The owners of this store will find beautiful vintage stamps from the 1920s to the 1980s and will coordinate them with your wedding theme to use on your invitations!

this is a great find! too bad I already bought stamps... (of all the things to buy so far in advance!)

I love this too, do you happen to know how much they charge per envelope? USPS never carries any good stamps and the personalized ones run twice the cost...

Just checked. Starts at $5.75 for 41 cents worth of postage....so a little on the pricey side!

Thanks! A little pricey but could be worth it, I really don't get why the postal service makes their wedding stamps in purple, I vote for a simple white or something neutral!

Another idea that I was contemplating doing was making my own vintage stamp on photoshop and then go to photostamps.com or yourstamps.com

Chitown Wife said...

But you are so correct windy city...just saw the personalized ones and they are pricey too!

gorgeous! i've been trying to collect but unfortunately my STDs were so expensive to mail i would've had to cover the entire envelope with the vintage stamps! i'm definitely using this idea for something though. :)

PS - I did photostamps for my STD mailings and they were ridiculously expensive but here's a little known fact: they don't cancel! so your envelope stays looking oh so pretty.
