Has anyone mailed their invitations with multiple vintage stamps? If I was going to go that route where can I find affordable vintage stamps in large quantities and how much would it cost compared to just current forever stamps, I know it depends on the weight of the invitations but lets assume its no more than 1 oz. I guess I could mix-and-match with forever stamps vintage low value stamps if it is over 1 oz. There just seems like so many things to consider. If anyone has done this, any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!

I do think the vintage stamps would be beautiful but definitely a lot of time and effort!
I'm using the "Classics Forever" stamps from the good ol' post office. They are printed using an old technique that leaves the ink raised, and they have a very old-looking design, all for the same price as normal stamps. I used them on save the dates as well, with racing green envelopes, and a few of my friends put the STD envelope on the fridge too because they felt bad throwing something so pretty away! https://store.usps.com/store/browse/productDetailSingleSku.jsp?categoryNav=false&navAction=push&navCount=0&atg.multisite.remap=false&categoryId=buy-stamps&productId=S_586804

If you love the look, but aren't sure that it's practical, can you do only one envelope with vintage stamps for your "details" photo and as a momento? Just keep it as a design/inspiration envelope rather than trying to figure out practically how to do it and get all your mail to the intended recipients unscathed?
