STAMP OF APPROVAL

Rubber's just ducky: For her June wedding, designer Rebecca Minkoff asked a graphically inclined friend to layout the key invitation page using a striking calligraphy font, then sent it off to be made into a rubber stamp. Using red ink and rounded-corner cards, Minkoff created stunning personalized invites at a fraction of the cost.
