I admit it: I'm not a detail person when it comes to my own wedding. I'll notice two things on the big day whether (1) My behind looks big in my dress and (2) Ed shows up.

Beyond that, I'm not one for the little things. But there are a lot of nifty, little touches you can add if you've got the time, patience and extra cash. For example, take the matter of postage.

The U.S. Post Office offers the opportunity to create your own stamps. Pictures of you and the groom, hearts, flowers; you name it, you can do it. The USPS Web site gives the names of companies willing to design the stamps for your. Or check out Perfect Postage, which will custom design your stamps according to your specifications.

But be warned: These stamps will cost you more. Designs at Perfect Postage cost can cost as much at $18.95 for one sheet (20 stamps) of large stamps. For 41 cents each, you can buy heart stamps at the post office. So before you spend the money to dress up your invitations, make sure all the necessities are taken care of.
