Laura @ Laura Hooper Calligraphy's Picture
Laura Hooper, Northridge, CA Vendor: Calligraphy Website: Laura Hooper Calligraphy About Me: I've been practicing the art of calligraphy since the age of 12 and nothing gives me more pleasure than waking up each morning knowing I get to do what I do each day. I love having the ability to infuse my own personal style into each of my bride's special day. When I'm not working, I enjoy traveling, hiking, reading and painting; but most of the time I don't consider calligraphy to be work at all!
About Laura @ Laura Hooper Calligraphy

I recently addressed some oversized envelopes in Elegance Script for a bride {incidentally, Ami of Elizabeth Anne Designs} with a very classic taste - as in old classics! After we sent the envelopes back for mailing, they spiced things up with these clever vintage stamps. The stamps {and thus envelopes as well} were different for every recipient!

Clients can order these vintage stamps on Ebay in all different shapes and sizes (and denominations - so make sure they add up to the correct postage on every envelope!). Revisit childhood cartoons, revered sports icons, symbolic moments in history and other classic images. Prices vary based on seller.

It's the perfect way to mix something old with something new!

Laura — Were the ‘Forever’ Stamps added as an assurance that the invites get there without a problem?

hi gabrielle! the liberty bell stamps were added on some envelopes simply to get up to the correct postage. most of them did not have the forever stamps. i believe the envelopes were $1.38 each to mail due to their weight and rigidity.

hope that helps!

@Ami @ Elizabeth Anne Designs: Thanks Ami! I figured that was the reason but did not want to speculate.
