Personalized postage stamps

Creating the perfect baby shower often lies in the smallest of details. One such detail is the postage put on your invitations. Creating postage stamps with the mug of your honoree is certain to take your baby shower to the next level. Let YeahBaby give you the details.

About the postage stamps:
The postage stamp appear to be like any other. But wait, that isn't a president or famous American... that's your baby shower's honoree on the stamp! You won't be able to find these stamps at your local post office!

Creating the invitation:
At a minimum, you will need a picture of your honoree, an internet connection and a credit card for this project. The picture will need to be in an electronic format such as .jpg, .gif or .bmp format. There are many online sites which allow you to upload the photo. Once you've paid the nominal fee with your credit card, the services will create the stamps and mail them to you. Links to many of these sites can be found on this page.

Select a photo with a relative close up of your mom-to-be. Remember that personalized postage stamps come in portrait or landscape sizes. Your photo selection and invitation may necessitate using either a portrait or landscape size.

Variations:
For those having baby showers with a theme, you may want to have a picture of your mom within this theme. Those having a ducky baby shower may want to have the expectant mother holding a plastic duck. If you are unable to secure a picture of the mother to be, you may simply want to use a picture of a rubber duck.

Invitation wording:
Since the size of the stamp is quite small, it is unlikely you'll be able to fit any text onto the stamp.

YeahBaby thoughts:
Sending an invitation with personalized postage is the perfect way to spruce up an ordinary shower invite. Everyone will love this idea!
