Tips for using vintage stamps:
Vintage stamps will take up more real estate of your envelopes since they come in a selection of lower denominations. You will need a few to add up to the current postal rate, especially if you are sending a heavier envelope like a wedding invite.
Make sure to opt for unused stamps so you can more easily apply them to your envelopes and so they will look presentable when they get to your guests' mailboxes. If you happen to find used stamps in great condition, you'll have to use some glue to apply.
Vintage stamps reinforce the color scheme and mood of the occasion, and look fantastic with calligraphy to match. It will definitely make a memorable and beautiful statement!
