A few years ago I invested in what I thought would be a fleeting trend for my Christmas cards, "Thank You" notes, and kid's Birthday party invitations. I got a personalized address stamp. I can honestly say that I love my address stamp and can not imagine my "correspondence" life without it. And judging by the amount of my friends who have invested in their own address stamp, I know that I am not the only one who loves it. Luckily, I was raised to believe that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Any time of year is wedding planning time... even the holidays! And as any bride-to-be will attest, wedding budget is always a concern, regardless if you're sticking to it, or hoping no one notices you went over. One fantastic budget saver is taking the cheap wedding invitations route. Adding a little do-it-yourself when it comes to wedding invitations will save cash you can otherwise spend having a rockin' party.
