Is it okay to give collectible stamps as bridal shower favors?

Put A Stamp On It

Here's something you probably never thought of…giving commemorative or collectible stamps as unique bridal shower favors. Whether your bridesmaid plans on using the stamps, or starting a stamp collection, there's no question that this gift idea is not something you'll see at every bridal shower. The neat thing about stamps is that you can get everything from sports related stamps, stamps with comic book themes, pop culture themes, political, nature-based and everything in between. This makes it easy to personalize the bridal shower favor to match the personality and interests of the bridesmaid or maid of honor.

These days, you can even personalize stamps with your own photograph. If you think your bridesmaids might appreciate seeing their glowing faces on a stamp, you might want to consider going that route. The trick here will be getting the photographs without your friends knowing what it's for.

Is one of your bridesmaids a Disney freak? For less than ten dollars you can buy her a pane of 20 stamps depicting Disney characters. Some of the vintage Disney stuff makes great collectibles! Other collectible stamp themes include art, nature, history, movies, and cars.

Giving the gift of stamps involves a bit of a setup. You can't just hand over panes of stamps to your friends and expect them to be thrilled out of their minds. What you need to do is work up to it. Give a little speech at the bridal party about how you'd like to see the art of letter-writing come back into vogue. Sure you can email and text message, but there's something much more intimate about writing a letter to your best friend. If you want something different, there's no question that stamps make the ultimate unique bridal shower favors.
