In 2009, the U.S. Postal Service introduced a separate series of Wedding stamps, distinct from its Love stamp series. Among these stamps is the Forever first-class one-ounce rate Wedding Roses stamp, specifically designed for use on the RSVP envelope enclosed within the outer Wedding Invitation envelope. The outer envelope typically features the 64 Wedding Cake stamp, which was issued on April 11.
The Wedding Roses stamp, created by designer Ethel Kessler from Bethesda, Maryland, showcases a captivating photograph taken by Renee Comet of Washington, DC. The image beautifully captures two white roses delicately placed on a piece of wedding correspondence, with a subtle white ribbon appearing in the background. This elegant stamp adds a touch of grace and sentiment to wedding invitations and RSVP envelopes, symbolizing the beauty and significance of the occasion.
