nicoann what did you print the stamps on? directly on each envelope?

Looks like you order the stamp paper (sort of like a sheet of labels?) and print on that.   

Quoted:

You order the custom stamp sheets, then print the postage amount on them at home. The other advantage is that you can print stamps individually as you need them, so you only pay for the number of stamps you need, and don't end up with a bunch of leftover odd value stamps. And if you are out of stamps, then realize you missed one invite, you can easily print one more stamp. 

Yes, exactly.  The stamp sheets are basically just label sheets, preprinted with your image on them. Then there is a blank space on each label where it will print the postage amount.  Below is what they look like.  They do have pre-designed wedding stamps, but if you do the custom ones it would be just like the ones below, except have your image instead of the blue "We're getting married" image square.  The blank space on the right is where is prints the postage amount.

Their software already is set up for printing on their sheets, so there's very little set up.  You just need to choose the postage amount/type, load the label sheet into the printer, then tell it to print. The software will ask you to input the serial number for that sheet (listed on top corner of each sheet) and it uses that to know what the sheet layout/stamp size is.  It is also used to track which stamps you have printed and used. If you happen to print too much postage, you can actually send them back for a refund. I had printed out a bunch of stamps and sent back a couple sheets of printed stamps when rates went up... they gave me full refund on them.
