We recommend NOT to use a stamp. We have found that people are willing to provide their own postage for this heartfelt fundraiser. This will also keep your postage cost down, and ( 5 ) less stamps that would otherwise need to be put on envelopes. We HIGHLY recommend a “real” stamp and NOT a “metered” stamp. Hearts, Love, Flower, or Cartoon like stamps are the best and keep the envelope looking more like it came directly from the child.
