Stamps

[usahgrad]

Check this out! It's a little expensive, but how cool is it! I think this would be a great idea to personalize thank you cards...but we'll see when it comes around to actually buying them...anyways:

That is cool. Somethign I want to do is photo confettie. That would be so cool to have on the tables. Let me see if I can find the link again.

[usahgrad]

Photo Confetti? That does sound cool!

[rainbowtreat]

OK I found 2 differnt sites. I want to do this so bad.

Those would be so cute on the response sets or at least on the thank you notes. But I just checked the price and it more than doubles the price of stamps. For that I could have wallet sized pictures of us printed out to enclose in our thank yous. Plus those won't get stamped, overlooked, and then tossed out.

[usahgrad]

That is SO COOL! I bet you could make something like that. It would take some time, but I don't think it'd be too hard...of course, you'd need a color printer and some photo paper, which at that point, it may be cheaper to buy them off the site...but still...you could just shrink down the pic (which is a LOT easier to do than to size up the pic) and copy and paste it again and again and again on a sheet of paper...you wouldn't even need photo paper come to think of it...print it up and cut it in little circles, or hearts, or squares...it would take some time...but it'd be pretty.

[rainbowtreat]

Never put much thought into making my own but I will now thanks lol

[Jenn060306]

The personalized photostamps have recently come to Canada too! I think its awsome! But i'm not prepared to spend over a dollar a stamp. As it is 51 cents feels high!
I really like that photo confetti.... I've never seen anything. I think that would look really awsome on the tables at the reception. You could have photos of when you were kids to now. It would be a great conversational peice for the guests who have never met eachother!

[rainbowtreat]

I really need to put some though tinto this now. I love this idea nd I am sure thre are cutters out there that are for cutting circles or other shapes big enough for this idea. I suck at cuttting, couldnt cut a straight line if my life depened on it and that would be ALOT of cutting. But I want this soooo bad. So what do you all say, a cutting party ? I will supply the drinks.:beer_smile:

Check out scrap booking supplies! They have circle cutters and rounded corner rectangles. They will make your circle cutting much easier!

Hey what about having your kids cut them out? I bet they would have fun and it would be a great way to get them involved.

But hey if your suppling the drinks what time do you want to get started. I have a long drive and would probably need to crash on your couch after this party!! LOL!!

[rainbowtreat]

My kids are 6 and 4. They can cut I am sure but they wont look ike any shape I know of. Let say Sat. night 6:00. Kids are at their dads for the night lol.

[usahgrad]

I'm so there!

They have hole punches that are pretty sizeable in craft/scrapbooking stores. Check into one of those, maybe they would be big enough!

So can we bring ours to do too? lol

[rainbowtreat]

Oh yeah but if you all bring some we may be here a while. Wait your in Ohio right? I will come to your place, that way I can visit my best friend who lives there. So change of plans all we are going to ohio. I will still supply the drinks :D

[usahgrad]

Shhh....don't tell my FH!

But, heck, if you're supplying the drinks, come on over! ;)

I guess that means I actually have to clean my bathroom instead of the slight wipe down I did two weeks ago...:)

[rainbowtreat]

Well it's better then my house at the moment. with every thing that went on last weekend andthe way the work week has been I have been to exhausted to do anything. Nicholas has been working till close so he hasnt had the itme eaither. And righ tnow I am eating chilli and watching Annie and talking to you all. So much for getting anything done huh. I have the weekend and a Sunday with no kids. Hey I actually get a ngiht alone with Nihcolas. Wow! We dont have moeny to do anythign but we have a gift card to go eat. Maybe we will do that. Or jsut a quiet night at home will be nice too. SO I most likley wont be on tomorrow night so I have to get my fill now I guess. So whens a good time to show up with the drinks?

[usahgrad]

Ummm...anytime in the weekend...I work all week...lol. The weekends are my wedding planning times! :) Although, we are planning to go registering this weekend, at some point...but we have a nice big porch you can hang out on until we get home...lol...j/k

[rainbowtreat]

There may not be any drinks left by the time you get home if I have to wait :p

[usahgrad]

Well then I think we're going to end up with even more creatively shaped confetti then you would if you used your free-child labor! LOL

[rainbowtreat]

LMFAO!!!!!! Stop it I am eating here, you trying to make me choke?

[usahgrad]

NEVER!

Just, don't spray your food all over the screen...I want you to be able to read the rest of the board since you have to get your fill in now! :) And I don't think chili is very good for monitors...or keyboards...or anything else sitting in front of you for that matter...:)

[rainbowtreat]

Yeah I haven't picked up this living room yet so I dont REALLY want to add to the mess. Spitting chilli every where just means I would have to clean tonight and I AM NOT DOING THAT!!!!

[usahgrad]

I wouldn't want to do that after spitting chili all over the place either. Especially if it came out my nose...oh! the chili powder in the sinuses! ouch!

[WebLady]

LOL :bblol: You guys are so funny ...

As for the stamps, these are a cool idea ;) I like the photo-confetti too, I have seen that before.

[ikkin510]

I miss all the excitement when I am asleep cause I have to get up so early!! Hey, I'll be at the party, but I don't get out of work till 6 so I'll be a little late (good thing it's only in Ohio!) And don't worry Girls, I'll bring the second round of drinks!:beer_smile:

[usahgrad]

Great! Then I'll have something to drink once we get home...seeing as the first round is going to inubriate the people on my front porch! :)

[WebLady]

All this talk of parties has me thinking ... we should have a real party! Since we all can't be in one place we could have one of those online live chat parties! I don't know is OneWed has a chat room, but I do ;) I think it would be fun, we could chat live and 'hang out'

So anyone interested? If so what would be a good time of the day? Evening works best for me. (since I 'should' be working during the day)

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

~ WebLady :)

[usahgrad]

I was thinking about proposing that as well! I'd love to get on live with everyone and work on stuff together...be it whatever! I'm all for it. Weekends are best for me as I work almost the entire week. Anytime on the weekends (except for next weekend, because I'll be out of town) and I'll be there! Well, evenings would probably be the best...but let me know in advance and I'll make plans to be there.

[ikkin510]

That is a great idea! Let's see, I think it would all just depend on the day for me. I work weekend days, but lately I've been able to sit at the computer (like now!) So as long as there are no major crisis' in the county, it works. Monday nights are great for me too! Keep us updated, and again, great idea!! I can't wait to talk LIVE!

[LaceyinPgh]

I think that is a great idea. I would have to go with weekday evenings or weekends since I have chat blockers on all the computers at work Keep me posted!

[WebLady]

Well, like I said before week day evenings or weekends are better for me. Maybe tonight sometime? If not then than maybe next week, but then Kelli is out of town, then I am busy the following weekend. Oh well, I guess we will figure it out.

~ WebLady :)

[CindySue]

Weekend and evening are good for me too.....and BTW - a chat party is a wonderful idea!!!!! I guess we should call l3vi in and ask him what we need to do. Ive seen things about user groups and buddy lists and stuff.....I wonder if any of that would help.

Well, as long as L3vi won't be mad or anything and as long as this kind of thing won't break any rule here, we really don't need him to do anything. I can open a chat room on my website. I have one I use to talk to my clients all the time.

~ WebLady :)

[CindySue]

Will everybody be able to use it or will we have to download or subscribe to anything? Just asking!!!

[WebLady]

With my live chat everyone can use it ... I will just have to make it public and send or post the link and instructions to the party room ;)

~ WebLady :)

[CindySue]

Thats cool.....

[usahgrad]

Thought I'd enter some more possibilities for the day and time, since we're a little stuck. I was hoping it would be on a weekend so that I could stay up late with almost everyone (I know that some people have to work early on the weekends to) but, as far as the weekdays go, I'm available Tuesday evenings (I don't work the long days on Tuesdays). Maybe this will open up something we could all get in on. Also, maybe we should check with l3vi and see if we could do it weekly or monthly at a set day and time that way, if someone misses one, they can get to the one the next week/month...just a thought. I noticed the group things too...I was wondering what they were for.

Well, like I said before, I am pretty open in the evenings ... actually I could be open pretty much anytime since I am in good with the boss ;) (for those of you that don't know, I work for myself ;))

As I mentioned before, as this kind of thing won't break any rule here, we really don't need L3vi to do anything. I can open a chat room for us myself, unless you guys don't want me to. I guess I will wait and see if L3vi responds to this thread.

I just added you to my "Buddy List" just to see what would happen ... I don't know if anything did though

[usahgrad]

I think that he's not here today because it's his birthday. We'll find out tomorrow I'm sure. :)

[rainbowtreat]

OK I said I would not be here tonight but I just came on to check mail and take a quick look in here for a min. and I am glad I did.

This sounds like alot of fun. I used to be in a quiz chat room but that has dwindled down a bit. I can't make the quizes any more so you all get stuck with me lol.

I am in, week nights are best for me. Nicholas is off on Tues. so I can't say I would promise to be here that night and he is off on Sat. so that night like tonight i might be able to make an apperance but not be here for long. Gotta spend what time I can with him.

But any other night is great for me. I am up untill he gets home any way. You name the day and time and I will try my best to be there.

I can't wait it will be so much fun. I have thought about this before when I have talked to a couple back in forth in messages and in a post. I often thought it would be better if we could get in live with one enother. ( I almost typed "in love" oopppss) I love you all but come on jeeesshh. :p

[bnd94]

I don't know if I could join you all or not. My FH doesn't like it when I am on the computer all the time. Which I am most of the day!:bbredface: But hey I am a seasonal employee I have to put in ALOT of hours in the summer but I get the whole winter off!:D

So not to change the subject but I was just thinking about the postage thing. I love the idea of putting your picture on a stamp but the price is too much for me. I love these but I have no idea where I got this picture and can't find it now.:bbconfused:

I think I will check out what designs they will have out for valentines day. I am sure they will have something I will like. In case you all don't know, you can order stamps online from USPS for the same price as the PO and there are usually more designs too. So check it out around valentines day.

[usahgrad]

Great idea Becky! I was looking at some flower ones if the envelopes are too heavy to send regular old 37-or 39 cents now and then I thought I'd do the breast cancer ones if they can go the regular rate. It'd be cool to put our pics on it, but you're paying almost a dollar a stamp for that...so I just don't think it's going to feasable with our budget.

I still like the confetti idea! Although I would definitely have to get a new color ink cartridge...my printer prints everything in tones of pink! :)

[WebLady]

Speaking of Stamps again ... I noticed that the USPS is coming out with a new wedding stamp in March ...

Our Wedding
Brides to be, get ready. In early March, the "Our Wedding" stamp booklet, designed especially for mailing invitations and RSVPs, will be dedicated at Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City. The booklet contains 20 one-ounce and 20 two-ounce First-Class stamps. Apply the one-ounce stamp to the RSVP envelope to be enclosed with the wedding invitation. Apply the two-ounce stamp to accommodate the heavier weight of the wedding invitation with enclosures.

Both stamps feature an illustration of a white dove — a time-honored symbol of peace, love, and fidelity — and a heart, surrounded by calligraphic flourishes set against a lavender background (one-ounce denomination) and a light green background (two-ounce denomination).

I am so torn between the children's book characters (Charlotte's Web is my all time favorite book) and the Disney Couples.

Yeah, I liked Charlotte's Web as a child too ;) I wish they had sample pictures of the new stamps up already ;)

Charlotte's Web was my FAVORITE as a kid! I'm so excited for those stamps to come out! I don't know if the wedding ones will be out early enough for us...we'll see. Thanks!

Jason LOVED the superhero stamps! And considering I call him my superhero, it would work, but I nixed the idea anyways. The wedding stamps are really beautiful. Hope they come out in time, although, if they don't, I have a back up plan. :)

We all have the dumb :censored: moments from time to time. Just embrace them. It will give you something to chuckle about later.

Those wedding stamps were really pretty. Im not going to need the 2 ounce stamps though so it would be a waste of money for me. I did like the ones right below them. But I guess I need to finalize my invitations and get them ready to mail before I start worrying about stamps.
