The stamps out right now

....suck. Haha, I am such a loser about paper products, but my FI and I have actually HAD our save the dates in a box in our living room for about ... a month and a half now, all because I couldn't find a damn stamp that I liked!! 

Ended up going with the bonsai trees since we're getting married in the woods. We'll be at a barn at Fallingwater, and there was an amazing stamp dedicated to Frank Lloyd Wright and Fallingwater in 1998 that would have been so perfect...I wanted to track those down but they were like $1.70 per stamp! No thanks. Too bad I didn't know 14 years ago that I'd be getting married there.

Anyway, we're finally sending them out today - so excited to hear what our guests think about them! I put a ton of time into them and am kinda in love.

    I used the bonsai tree ones also! We sent ours out on Friday so I have just started hearing from everyone that has received them, so far everyone loves them! I was all worried about the stamps too, I bet most people don't even pay attention to that lol

    LOL feel ya there!
    I know I am not looking forward to that. We did postcards and the only stamp for those is a hawaiian shirt.. Might be worth doing a custom one because that will not look okay to me!

    I'm horrible, I haven't even looked at stamps for our Save The Dates. I'm hoping that nice ones come out around Valentine's Day so I can find something with a heart for the invitations and response cards.

    Unfortunately I'm not using any special stamps. My boss offered to let me use the postage machine at work so I'm taking the free postage over cute stamps. Plus it's alot easier to just throw them in a machine and not have to put a stamp in every one!

    We had the Hawaiian shirts too.  I wasn't super picky to begin with, and my FI thought it was appropriate since it is a party.  <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" />

    My STDs are, for the most part, being hand delivered. I will need to ship 4 of them (beer bottles) so I'll need a bit more than a regular stamp, so I luckily wont have to start freaking about stamps until its time for the invites! ;)

    <div>I knowww, in my head, that ultimately the stamps don't matter! But I took so much time with every design element of my STD - kraft brown envelopes, the perfect font for printng the addresses, an awesome wrap around address label - that to just throw any old stamp on there seemed like such a shame! I admit it though completely, I have a WEIRD OCD about paper products. This whole thing was my first forray into legit "bridezilla" behavior (according to my father - "SEND THE DAMN THINGS")<div>
    <div>I hemmed and hawed over the Zazzle ones, but I just couldn't justify the extra 60 bucks or so. So, went with the bonzai. If anyone is interested, I could post the pictures of the final product!</div></div></div>
