Inspired by These Vintage Stamps and a new twist on "Inspired By" Fridays

As many of you know, I will be getting married this coming may. In light of fact I am still finalizing all of the details, “Inspired By” Fridays will now be things that are inspiring my wedding and the events surrounding our wedding. They may also just be things i really really love and would incorporate into my wedding or bridal shower if i could do it over and over again! I, like so many others, am a lover of vintage stamps and would absolutely love to have them adorning my wedding invites.

Julie: This is what I'm doing for my wedding in April! At first I was just grabbing up all my favorite stamps... until my fiance explained to me that we would end up spending up to 10x the normal postage for this particular whim of mine. Oops. So I resolved to find them all at or below face value, and I did it! I only went over by about $30 and trust me, that extra $30 was totally worth it... Good luck! I'm sure it will be amazing!

This Lovely City: This is something I really wish we incorporated into our wedding! At the time, I didn't want to spend the extra money, but looking back, I know it would have been so worth it! I can't wait to see what other ideas you share on "inspired by" fridays! XO.
