I Love Stamps!

In researching stamps for our invitations, I came across the most wonderful thing.  The USPS is offering limited edition Adopt A Shelter Pet stamps.  The dogs and cats featured on the stamps were all homeless and all but one had been adopted when they were photographed.

Look how lovable these guys are!  They make me want to rush home to scoop up my own Rescue Pup.  The USPS is hoping to raise awareness of the need to adopt shelter pets.

Ok, sign me up!  So I headed down to my local post office only to find that the stamps will not be available for sale until April 30th.  April 30th?!?  But I wanted to use these adorable stamps for our RSVP envelopes and the invitations are almost ready to go out!  Not to mention, our RSVP by date is May 1st!

Slightly dejected, I decided to go for my second choice and the old standby for wedding stamps: interlocking rings.  Now, don't get me wrong, I think the rings stamps are beautiful and they will go perfectly with our invitation suite.

But the Shelter Pets stamps would be an excellent tie in with our wedding favors (more on that later) and our honored ring bearer!  I think I'll just have to buy a bunch of the stamps on April 30th so I can use them on our wedding Thank You cards!
