USPS 2012 Postage Rates for Wedding Stamps

The United States Postal Service will have a postage rate change effective January 22, 2012.  All of our custom stamps are now available at the new 2012 rates. All stamps on a sheet (20 stamps) must have the same design and postage value, but you can order as many different sheets as you want. We do not offer custom postage denominations at this time.

The following denominations are currently available on our custom stamps.

NOTE: If one of the above dimensions for the minimum envelope (6 1/8″ x 11 1/2 x 1/4) are exceeded, the envelope will be considered a large envelope. For example, an envelope that is 11/2″ long x 8″ high x 1/4″ thick would be considered a large envelope because the 8″ side exceeds 6 1/8″.
