Celebration Boutonniere

Celebration Boutonniere is a Forever stamp issued by the USPS. Similar in design to the two-ounce Celebration Corsage stamp, it can be used on RSVP envelopes often enclosed with wedding invitations. It is also perfect for party invitations, thank-you notes, announcements, or any other correspondence. For centuries, boutonnieres or buttonhole flowers, as they were called in Britain were a staple of a well-dressed man’s outfit. For most of the 20th century, a single flower pinned to a lapel or inserted into a jacket buttonhole was part of a sophisticated, debonair man’s wardrobe. This listing is for a sheet of 20 stamps.
