Postage

Keeping it short and sweet again today - new stamps for 2010! I hadn't thought to look at this year's stamps yet, until I saw a tweet yesterday about the new Calvin and Hobbes Stamp!!!! I immediately wanted to order 200 of them to use on our invites, but then this morning I realized they are part of a 5 piece "Sunday Funnies" set and it's unlikely that I could get 150 of them on their own.

So I looked at the other stamps. I've narrowed our stamp choices for the wedding down to the following:

Did you know Mark was an Eagle Scout? No? Well, are you really surprised? Of course not! Plus, this scouting one would go perfect with either the navy envelopes I wish I could find, or the brown ones we will probably use. Plus, it's a metaphor for the search for love, no?

This is my personal favorite of this year's stamp offerings:

It's the lunar/Chinese new year stamp for the year of the tiger. The image is Narcissus flowers (and not uh, daffodils as I originally thought) which are auspicious at all times of the year and used to celebrate Chinese New Year. The red would be a great contrast, and the flowers evoke "nature."

These evergreen stamps would be perfect, but they are the holiday stamp so they don't even come out until October!

Wouldn't those be just so perfect for a nature center wedding though? I'm going to be ordering a bunch to use on our thank-you notes, for sure!

You may have noticed that I skipped the love stamp with the purple pansies. That's because well, marriage isn't for pansies. It's big and scary, like scouting out a mountain.
