My Father's a Philatelist
A Philatelist is a specialist in Philately: one who collects or studies postage stamps. My Father has been a Philatelist since his adolescence. It is a major hobby of his. It was not his career, but it probably could have been. My parents' house even has a "stamp room". Well, with such a special talent in my immediate family, I wanted utilize it somehow in the wedding. I've seen a trend in bridal magazines and wedding blogs for the invitations to be mailed using vintage postage stamps. I asked my Dad if he was up for the task and of course he gladly accepted. He is in the process of acquiring old 'Love' stamps. I can't wait to see what he gets! Here are some inspiring photos of wedding invitations with vintage stamps:

Neat. You'll pay more than face value for the old stamps, right? Any idea how much more will this cost than regular stamps? Will you need a bunch (some of the envelopes in the pictures look very full)? Do you think people will notice? Interested to hear more.
