I got the idea to use old unused postage stamps from A Green Bride Guide. It’s a small way to make sure that old things aren’t going to waste and to also make an eco-friendly statement. All of the new stamps issued today from the USPS are adhesive, which, while convenient, are made of non-biodegradable plastics.

I did toy for a little bit with designing custom stamps on Zazzle.com. But once I found the stamp set shown above (LOVE and Thomas Jefferson!), I couldn’t resist. The TJ stamp was sort of icing on the cake considering the wedding will be in Charlottesville.
