On March 21, 2014, in Saint Louis, Missouri, the U.S. Postal Service® will issue the Yes, I Do 70-cent definitive stamp in one design, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 stamps. The stamp will go on sale nationwide March 21, 2014.
Three simple words “Yes, I do,” mark the beginning of two lives joined together in love. The Yes, I Do stamp, first issued in 2013, is a charming and romantic addition to Weddings series, brought to you by the U.S. Postal Service®.
The stamp highlights the words “Yes, I Do” nestled in a colorful bouquet of flowers in the shape of a heart on a white background. The stamp art was hand-sketched and digitally composed.
The 70-cent Yes, I Do stamp is designed for the First-Class Mail® two-ounce rate, which accommodates the heavier weight of an invitation, as well as other mailings such as oversized cards or small gifts that require extra postage. A similarly designed companion stamp, Where Dreams Blossom-a Forever® stamp first issued in 2013-is available for response cards, save-the-date notices, thank-you notes, and other correspondence.
The stamp artwork was designed by Michael Osborne under the direction of Ethel Kessler.
