It's a lot of fun to create elegant wedding celebrations, and one nice touch that is becoming more popular is to create custom postage stamps from photos or artwork.
Or is it so nice? One one internet wedding forum, I recently noticed someone asking if photo stamps were just too tacky to be used for weddings. Nobody had answered her. My immediate reaction was "Of course custom postage isn't tacky. It's great for weddings!" but since that wouldn't have really answered her question, I didn't post. But I've been thinking about it since then.
Using photo stamps for wedding invitation postage can be tacky:
- If the photo that is used is unclear or blurry
- If it has too many people so that nobody is really visible
- If one of the engaged couple is featured significantly more than the other one
- If the photo selected is in bad taste (postal regulations prohibit anything too revealing)
- Or if it is hard to understand at a glance, for any reason.
Most people really love to receive mail with photo stamps on it, and invitations with an attractive image are very special. Often people may save the stamp; scrapbookers have been known to use them in a page about the wedding. Custom postage is available in the United States, Canada, the UK, New Zealand, Australia, and most likely in other places as well, so you can use it in many countries.
Besides being used for wedding invitations, photo stamps can be used in several other ways related to the marriage, and there are more tips and ideas at the website listed below. However the personalized stamps are used, the important thing is to select an image that is clear and easy to see, even when reduced to miniature size.
