Stamps

I need 60 cent stamps to mail my invitation. Are you all using the new Love stamp? I am not thrilled with it but if I have no choice that is what I am using. Which are you all using and which stamp are you using for the response card? Thanks

Re: Stamps

The new LOVE stamps weren't ready when I mailed otu my invites and the post office was out of most of the others - so I used a pretty ugly orange eagle one.

My RSVP envelopes were square, so they required a 50 cents stamp. I used one with a female aviator.

Re: Stamps

I also used the matching 60 and 34 cent stamps.
I wasn't crazy about them but I had no other choice it seems.

know what?
Nobody notices them much anyway.

Re: Stamps

We used the 60cent and 37cent LOVE stamps...even though we weren't crazy about them.

Don't sweat it. No one notices!!

Re: Stamps

I think the new 'love stamps' are ugly too!!

When I mailed my invites out they weren't out yet so I used this one:
You can buy these online or at the post office. I actually liked these better than the 'love stamps' anyways!

P.S. No one notices the stamps anyway!!! Trust me, I got aggrevated that most people didn't send back their response cards so I wasted a lot of $ on stamps. Go with what you like, not by what you think others will think!

Re: Stamps

I had to use the same ones as Evelyn.

I used a flag stamp on my response cards.

Re: Stamps

We used the eagle coverlet (60 c ents) and the american flag on the response cards. I know that no one else will care what stamps we use but it mattered to me. I will try to post the pic

Re: Stamps

I just mailed mine out today, and used the love stamps. I didn't like them at first, but they kinda grew on me. I just liked that they said love...

Re: Stamps

I hate the new love stamps too. I also used the same ones that Evelyn used to mail my invites.

I used the Acadia National Park one, pretty fall colors I thought, and also the love stamp wasn't out yet.

Re: Stamps

I just went to a stamp machine at work, and they have the new 'Antique Toys' collection, which has 4 designs of cute antique cars --- I am seriously considering using them -- they are $0.37 each... Just a little fiy.

Re: Stamps

I used the 60 cent eagle too, I like it. It's sort of vintage looking & looked great on my envelopes.
I used the flag for responses & I just sent my Rehearsal luncheon invites out with 37cent LOVE stamps-they were a little better than the 60cent one.
Like everyone else said, I don't think it matters to anyone but us!
