Personal Postage

After the wedding, there's the honeymoon. And after the honeymoon, the thank-you notes. To add a little honeymoon flavor to that chore, there's a custom postage service from Stamps.com. There (and on the Web sites Endicia.com andZazzle.com) you can turn your digital photos into bona-fide American postage. Just upload your photos to the Web site, crop them, choose from 10 border colors, and pick a postage denomination. It's an easy and creative way to show off honeymoon photos without making Great-Aunt Sophie navigate an online sharing site.

The service is still in its testing phase. The current session will run through May. A second overlapping test will kick off soon. During that phase, businesses can use their logos on stamps, which the postal service hasn't previously allowed.

The service is pricier than a regular stamp. AtStamps.com, one 20-stamp sheet of 39-cent Photostamps is $17.99, compared to $7.80 for 20 standard stamps. Discounts apply as you order more than one sheet, however - so save some extras for the invitations to your first-anniversary party.
