Once you’ve found the perfect wedding venue and decided on the ideal date, it’s time to invite your friends and family to celebrate with you! Choosing your wedding invitations certainly gives a preview of what’s to come on your big day, whether you’re planning a boho beach party, a modern gala at an art gallery, or an elegant garden party. And while it may seem like the invitation design is the only way to infuse personality into your entire invitation suite, think again. There are plenty of clever ways to dress up your envelopes and postage as well.

Once you slide your invitation suite into envelopes, it may seem like the options for customization are over, but that’s definitely not the case. Did you know you can bring your envelopes to life with a variety of stamp options? Not to mention, you'll want to include a stamp if you're adding an RSVP card into the mix as well.

You can look to current postal service options to choose from a variety of inspired designs. The other option? Many different designs can be found on Etsy or Amazon, and you can even select expertly styled sets to match the rest of your invitation suite. From beautiful vintage options to modern postal service choices, there’s a stamp to complete every aesthetic.

There's certainly no shame in choosing variety when it comes to wedding stamps. After all, it may not be possible to find a cohesive option. Consider sticking with a similar palette or theme to make an interesting display.

Before you purchase postage stamps for your invitations, be sure to have your full invitation suite weighed. Taking one fully assembled envelope to your post office will give you the exact amount of postage you'll need for each mailing.
