Wedmin!

So when it comes to wedmin, one of the first things to think about, after deciding on the date, is sending out the 'save the dates' to your guests.

I found it really tricky trying to choose the save the date as I wanted to make it completely original and personal. Despite home being Kenya, we are going to be getting married in England and I wanted to make sure that the cards had a real Kenyan feel to them. 

There are so many different websites offering great ideas/templates and Pinterest and Instagram provide some inspiring ideas. However once agreed that ours would be in the form of a post card, I immediately knew I wanted to have a personal stamp on the envelope to complete the final touches. That's when I discovered the fabulous Stamps Direct Limited who could offer the professional, quality stamp that I was looking for.

I really love their story and the fact that its a traditional heritage brand. Stamps Direct Limited was established in 1964 by George Gigg who first started making rubber stamps in his garden shed in Norwich after he became frustrated over the amount of time it took to get a rubber stamp delivered from London. Inundated with requests, what started as hobby quickly saw Gigg devoting all his time to, and together with his son Roland, they set up Norwich Rubber Stamps. Before long, the pair were joined by other members of the family and relocated to 111 Eade Road in Norwich where they were located until recently moving to 22 Mason Road!

I contacted the team to enquire about obtaining a wedding stamp and whether it would be possible to use their standard template or create a different design. The response was instant and am pleased to say was yes and yes! Joy!!!!! I have to say, they truly live up to their reputation of delivering fast, efficient and most of all friendly, helpful and accommodating service. 



Within 2 days, my personal stamp arrived and having just stamped the final envelope, I am very pleased! 

I would recommend using the lovely company any day and for whatever type of stamp you are looking for, be it date, school, clothes, arts & craft, electronic... you name it, they do it!
