Many Bar/Bat Mitzvah families feel the finishing touch to their Bar/Bat Mitzvah invitation is the custom stamp.

If you plan to create a custom stamp, you need to know that the price for a First-Class Mail stamp will increase one cent on January 22, 2012 to 45 cents.

Here’s the problem: As of now, the popular custom stamp Website’s like Stamps.com, Zazzle.com and Picture It Postage by Endicia are not selling the 45 cent stamps. If you need to create your custom stamp before January 22, 2012, but mail them after that date, beware….

Now might also be a good time to stock up on the “Celebrate” forever stamp for your RSVP envelope and/or Thank you’s.
