Review: PictureItPostage

I recently received a wedding invitation from one of my dearest friends and noticed the stamp was personalized—it was a picture of her and her fiancé. I thought that was a very cute idea. When the Family Review Network presented an opportunity to review PictureItPostage—I couldn’t wait to personalize my very own stamps too!

Their website states “PictureItPostage™ lets you wow friends and family with custom postage designs. Create personalized holiday cards, custom wedding invitations, unique birth announcements and thank you notes that really show you care.”

The entire process was very easy. The only difficult part was deciding what I wanted on the stamps! After much thought, I decided to use one of my favorite photos—one I had posted on a Wordless Wednesday. It’s a photo of Diamond Head with a double rainbow, and it was taken the evening of our wedding day.

As I mentioned, the process of creating your personalized postage is EASY. Once you upload your photo, you can edit the stamp by resizing it, moving the image around, changing the background color or stamp text color, and even changing the format to portrait or landscape. I like how the canvas is quite “large,” so whether you upload a photo or one of your child’s drawings, the image will still look nice and clear, and not grainy or compressed. Once you’re done editing, you select the postage amount and quantity.

That’s it!

PictureItPostage will also be hosting a contest beginning Oct. 31 and going into the holidays called the PictureItPostage "Get Real" Photo contest--they want to see the “best of the worst” when it comes to photos. Simply visit PictureItPostage.com, click on the “Get Real” contest button and upload the best of your worst photos. Beginning November 21, all visitors to the “Get Real” contest website will have a chance to vote for their favorite photos. Two Grand Prizewinners will each receive a new Canon Digital SLR Camera and five PictureItPostage coupon codes good for 100 customized photo stamps. Ten First Prizewinners will each receive one PictureItPostage coupon code good for one pack of customized postage stamps.

PictureItPostage offers an easy, creative way to make mail deliveries even more special. With the holidays coming up, I’ll be using my custom postage to send my holiday cards to all my friends and relatives on the mainland, and I bet a lot of them may end up wishing they could be in warm, sunny Hawaii when they see the special stamp I made!
