A NICE TOUCH FOR YOUR WEDDING MAIL




In May 2009, the U.S. Postal Service issued these elegant postal adornments for your invitations, thank you notes, and other wedding-related mailings.



On the left, a 44-cent stamp depicting two gold wedding rings tied with a white ribbon. That's the basic First Class rate for up to one ounce.

On the right, a 61-cent stamp depicting a three-tiered wedding cake. You'll need the 61-cent stamp if your letter weighs between one and two ounces.

Both stamps were designed by a Bethesda MD artist, using photos by a Washington DC photographer.

Note: If your wedding invitation is square-shaped rather than rectangular, the First Class rate is now 88-cents even if it weighs less than an ounce. In that case, you can use two wedding ring stamps per envelope.

These stamps are available at local post offices or can be ordered online

We used both of these in our wedding invitations that were sent a few weeks ago! We can't wait for you to DJ our big day. We will have to meet up soon to discuss specifics!!! :)
