Using Custom Wedding Stamps

If there is one thing that will always require the use of traditional “snail mail”, it is the wedding invitation. Whether it is a “save the date” card, the actual invitation, or the RSVP envelopes, however, you can really add a lot of personalization with custom wedding stamps. These are perfectly legal postage stamps, but they are not the “same old, same old” designs that are found at the post office.

No matter what the style or theme of your wedding, there are going to be plenty of custom wedding stamps from which to choose. There are some with very elegant photographs of flowers, wedding bands, and even photo collages of bridal images. There are also whimsical and cartoon-like custom wedding stamps if that is the style of your big day as well.

The important thing to remember when deciding to use these stamps for your wedding stationery is to buy in bulk, in order to ensure that you do not run out of your personal stamps, and to purchase enough for every mailing that you will do.

As already mentioned, you may need postcard style stamps for the save the date cards, stamps for the envelopes containing the entire invitations, stamps for the RSVP cards inside of the invitations, and stamps for the matching thank you notes that you send for all of the gifts you receive.

Remember too that you might want to also use these stamps for the invitations to the bridal shower, engagement party, bachelor or bachelorette events, and any other wedding related activities on your schedule of events.

Paying for postage is something that a lot of people are predicting is going to come to an end in the near future. Whether that is true or not, today you can really “style up” the mail you send by using these wedding stamps.

Selecting the Right Save the Date Cards

Jun 14, 2011 PMCustomWeddings Posted in Advice, Save the Date save the date, save the date cards, wedding advice, wedding planning

One of the first things that people want to do when they get engaged is to tell “everybody”. This is usually done through an announcement and even a small party. The primary question asked of the couple at the time that they announce the engagement is “have you picked a date?” Interestingly enough, a lot of people have not picked a date by the time they announce the engagement, but when they do it is usually followed up by a mailing of save the date cards.

Save the date cards are extremely simple and smart ways of getting the details about the wedding day to everyone you hope will attend, but there are a few “tips” for picking the most effective choices.

Firstly, you need to make the save the date cards something that can be posted in a visible spot such as a bulletin board or even on a refrigerator. This is to ensure that no one books another activity for your wedding day or weekend.

Secondly, you need to be sure that the cards are going to coordinate with the general color scheme or style of your wedding day. For example, you might find one of the photo cards appealing, but you should not use one that has bright and bold colors if that is not what the wedding day will feature.

Fortunately, these cards are now becoming such an essential part of the wedding planning process that you will easily find them in coordinating styles and colors to most of the popular invitations too. You can also elect to have very affordable and stylish custom cards made as well.

Don’t try to put too many details in these cards because they are meant only to give the time, date, and place. This lets guests understand if they can actually make the event, and allows them to pencil it in to their calendars immediately.

A Look at Modern Wedding Invitations

Though the whole world seems to going “paperless” there is really one set of documents that will never convert entirely into the electronic domain, and that is wedding invitations and wedding related mailings.

Just consider a wedding without a big fat envelope full of pretty cards and envelopes relating to the day… it is not possible. Wedding invitations are the only way that people can easily get the full details of the event to their guests. For example, it is not uncommon for a modern invitation to contain the actual formal invitation, a reply card with a stamped envelope, a bit of information about the bridal registry, and any information related to hotel accommodations or directions.

This is why wedding invitations are usually quite heavy and why they just cannot be replaced by a paperless option or a simple email.

Of course, they cannot be replaced because they also serve as a physical reminder of the day. Many people love to keep copies of the formal invitation with their photos or scrapbooks, but this also means that they have to be chosen carefully.

Why? An invitation tends to “set the stage” for what the guests can expect. For instance, most modern brides and grooms will choose invitations that reflect their style or the theme for the day.

Consider that the bride who is dressing their party in the famous “Tiffany Blue,” will also pick wedding stationery that reflects her choice. This can mean that the engagement announcements, save the date cards, invitations, and thank you notes all have that color scheme, and this “cues” the guests to expect it when they arrive at any of the wedding related events. It also allows them to know that the bride and groom have opted for a bit more formal approach to their wedding, and it is good to allow guests this sort of clue.

The Charm of Custom Wedding Stamps

What is the difference between a basic wedding invitation and a custom one? That question could be answered in a million ways, but one of the simplest answers is that the basic invitation uses the limited number of wedding appropriate stamps available at the post office, and the unique invitation will use custom wedding stamps selected by the bride and groom.

Custom wedding stamps are those that are printed on demand, but which are totally legal forms of postage. They can be found in almost any style imaginable. For example, if you wanted to actually have your engagement picture on the postage used for your wedding invitations, you could order hundreds of custom wedding stamps with this image.

This could establish one of the simplest and most affordable ways of making unique and impressive mailings without also breaking the bank. Just consider that you could order custom stamps for the save the date cards or to use for an engagement party. You can then take the best photograph from this party and use it for the bridal shower or bachelor/bachelorette invitations. You can use the very best image of the bride and groom for the stamps for the wedding invitations, and then use your favorite wedding day photograph for the thank you cards.

This would totally personalize every single mailing done for the wedding, and may even allow you to use the simplest cards and stationery while also making a very strong statement.

Choosing to use custom stamps is a new way of really designing your own wedding event. There are also a lot of pre-designed choices for custom stamps as well, and these can make it easy to select images and graphics that coordinate with your theme or stationery, but which also allow your wedding related mailings to really stand out from the crowd.
