Use them! I would never even notice them. Also, could you just do a private Facebook event? I did that for my sister in-law’s shower. Worked great!

I would notice but I would just appreciate that you’re using up stamps. I use Santa stamps whenever!

No one will even notice the stamp

Use the stamps! Many people have gone to evites which eliminates the need for stamps.

It’s like a car to me. if it gets me from point A to point B (in this case mail). go for it !  

Answer 38

Use em! Or post on your local buy and sell page and see if anyone has any regular ones to trade. Maybe someone stockpiles for Christmas cards but only has regular ones

Absolutely not! If you have family or friends that would even care then they are really shallow. I don't think I ever look at the stamps on any envelope.

It doesn't matter

Makes it more of a celebration.  

Answer 47

For special occasions, I try to find stamps that match.  

Answer 48

No one looks at the stamps

Answer 49

Your average person is not going to look at stamps. If they do notice it will be super short term memory stuffs, like, "Neat. Christmas stamp. " and then they move on to the next thought process.  

Answer 50

Wouldn’t even have given it a second thought, I doubt people receiving them would either. If they do, says more about them, in my humble opinion! What seems like a big deal to us doesn’t even register on other people’s radar. Have a great shower!  

Answer 51

No, not tacky. Use what you have on hanf! Like others have said, I've not one noticed a stamp on something.
