I'm going to stamps.com and getting the personalized stamps...yes, it's double the price - but what's another $30 at this point...

Same here, except I went with zazzle.com which was slightly cheaper than stamps.com. I just got mine in the mail this week and they came out great, but man, are they huge!!

You could always use a monogram or a bridal clip art photo instead of the 2 of you!

OMG, we just went through this and I went to about 5 Post offices for info about new 63 cent stamps.

We did two .39c stamps, the blue love doves....it looked fine on the invite. They're very pretty. A few people mentioned how nice the stamps were, not that there were two.

Two is fine.

Jess, if it was me, I'd do any of the below (can all be ordered from USPS.com) and do two of them side by side (cute and cheaper than photostamps)...

Yes, I'll admit I'd be freaked out - more of the one where the couple is 'looking' out at the guest, than the one where the couple is looking away and at each other.

Oh great, I guess this means I have to worry about people having nightmares about my photo stamps and the eyes on them watching them as they go about their business.....
