Celebration Blooms Forever Stamps

An arrangement of flowers in ink and gouache by Kim Parker, worked up into a stamp by art director Derry Noyes and issued in 2024. The colors run hard - red, yellow, purple, pink, green and blue in the same frame - and the ink line keeps it from turning into a blur at stamp size. It came out alongside the Wedding Blooms stamp, and the two are built to be used together.

This is the one-ounce stamp of the pair, which makes it the reply-envelope stamp: the RSVP card that goes back to the couple, prepaid, so a guest only has to drop it in a box. It also carries party invitations, thank-you notes and announcements. If you are stamping the outer envelope of a full invitation suite, weigh it first - four pieces inside one envelope usually crosses an ounce and needs the two-ounce stamp instead. Sheets of 20.
