Q What is the minimum number of stamps I have to buy A. The minimum order is 1 SHEET- 20 stamps.

If you purchase more than one sheet of wedding stamps, you do get a discount per sheet.

Q The Post Office said my invitations will cost $1.00 - Do you have $1.00 custom postage? A. While $1.00 custom postage denomination is not available, many couples have found a way around this. We've designed two custom stamps (one at .44 and one at .61) to make sure the $1.00 denomination requirement is met. With two custom stamps, couples have a way to think creatively ... one stamp can have their photo and the other their monogram. Or one stamp could have the wedding date and the second displays their monogram. Many couples also put the bride's name on one stamp and the groom's on a matching stamp. Think creatively - with two stamps, your guests (and even your future mother in law) will certainly do a "double take." Look what Maria & Brad did! Q How much are shipping charges? A Shipping charges below are based on ordering 9 sheets or less of postage. The shipping is after manufacture of the sheets of postage.
