    I need to buy stamps to mail our invitations. I just went to the Post Office to check the weight and find out how much it'll cost to send them. It will cost .64 each (because of tiny bump but w/e).

    I LOVE receiving mail and always look at the stamp, however our budget for postage is small and FI doesnt' care. I'm turning to the hive for help. We can't afford to have custom stamps made.

    The options are:

    1. Edgar Allen Poe - .42 (I'd either do 2 of these or a Poe & a Polar Bear or a Poe and a Tropical Fruit Stamp [2 Poes = .84, Poe & Bear = .70 or Poe & Fruit = .69])
    2. Great Smoky Mountains = .75
    3. Zion National Park = .79
    4. Albert Bierstadt (used for our STDs) with a Turquiose Necklace
    5. Dragonfly = .62 + a Turquoise necklace

    Poe is "special" because FI & I LOVE to read.FI has been to the Great Smoky Mountain & I'd love to go sometime.FI has been to Zion National Park & I'd love to go sometimeAlbert Bierstadt was on our STDs but I'm over that one, but it's pretty & would tie our not really matching STDs with our invitations. :)FI LOVES to take pictures of Dragonfly when we're on vacation in Cape Cod.

    Which would you choose?

    I'm attaching a picture of our invitations.

     

    (For our RSVP cards I'll just use the Celebration .44 stamp, so there isn't any drama there. LOL)

    I'd do the dragonfly and the necklace.  The dragonfly would look nice with your invite.

    Maybe look on ebay for recently discontinued books of stamps?  A bride on my local knot board got some from the late 90s with wildflowers on them at face value.

    I voted for dragon fly but the Great Smokey Mountains is nice too and you only need one per envelope.

    Those are my invitations too! and right there with you, trying to figure out which stamp to use. I still have no idea..... Luckily the pictures on the stamps have meaning to you, for us they dont, I just think they are pretty, but they still dont really go with our theme!
