About This Stamp
In 2004, the United States Postal Service issued two stamps designed for use on wedding stationery and other occasions, such as Valentine’s and Mother’s Day cards and anniversaries, where love and affection are expressed.
The 37-cent stamp features a bouquet of white lilacs and large pink roses. Garden Bouquet, as this stamp is known, may be used for one-ounce First-Class envelopes, including the response envelope often enclosed in a wedding invitation.
Garden Botanical features a drawing of mostly pink wild roses by English artist Anne Pratt (1806–1893). At a 60-cent denomination, this stamp will accommodate the extra weight of a wedding invitation as well as other mailings such as oversize cards or small gift enclosures that require extra postage.
