No - 39 cents are 39 cents - only the fund raising stamps cost more....

I bought my stamps in the post office... I bought the combo for invites and RSVPs

what do you mean by 'pretty'?

If you go to the post office - all the stamps no matter what design are the same price - unless they're a charity stamp, where a proceed goes to the specific organization.

For the wedding stamps (.63) there are about TWO to choose from.

However - you can get customized stamps made through internet dealers, and they usually cost double the price of a regular stamp.

No. However, most wedding invites are oversized or too heavy for regular $.39 stamps... You might have to get more expensive ones for them... but the design doesn't matter.

The breast cancer stamps cost more b/c the extra money goes to charity.

Everyone is right, it cost the same. Right now the post office has combo stamps, one is 39 cents for the response card and the other is 63 cents for the envelope..>I asked at the PO and they do have ones that are 87 cents as well. They are pretty, purple and light green with a design on it...

I am too lazy to get my own made, especially since they will end up in the garbage eventually.

FH ordered .39 cent stamps but for e-party invites, they're not as heavy as wedding invites...Ahhh i hope it'll be ok...I will go to post office though and see what they say, and if anything just have to put two stamps on each envelope.

You can usually buy stamps in smaller denominations to add to the $.39 stamps so you're not way overpaying.

Zazzle.com's cute stamps cost $17.99 for 20 .39 stamps and $23.99 for 20 .63 stamps. That equates to $.90 for a $.39 stamp and $1.20 for a .63 stamp.

Am I missing something???

Can you recommend stamp websites?

Does the post office have a large assortment of stamps?

As you can see, I haven't gone to a post office in like 5 years.

zazzle.com offers custom made stamps, so yes, they are double the price than the standard stamps.

there is not a lot of assortment for the .63 stamps.

these are the typical stamps:

These are nice. Is that my only choice?

I've seen stamps with hearts and flowers. So those are custom made and much more expensive, right?

If it came down to getting my heart stamp for double the price, I'll stick with the normal priced dove stamps.

If you want to put ONE .63 stamp on your envelope then that's all there is.

You can buy stamps for .39 (with many other designs) but will have to add more stamps.

I wouldn't stress too much about the stamps - people throw the envelope out.

No need to get custom-made ones and pay double.

Here are the New Wedding Stamps.

The .39 ones are for the response return, and the .63 cents or for mailing the invite.
