Commemorate the marriage of Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton with a limited-edition souvenir cover. This #10 envelope includes an affixed Wedding Roses Forever® stamp, two affixed The Royal Wedding stamps issued by Britain’s Royal Mail, and custom-designed color postmark.
The Wedding Roses stamp showcases a photograph, taken by Renée Comet, of two white roses gently resting atop a piece of wedding correspondence.

I'm not quite sure why we are carrying this item. Aren't there more important things we could be spotlighting? Plus people will think this is American postage and use the stamps on our mail. Dumb idea.
There are a lot of people that got together at 4 am this morning in the St. Louis area to watch the Wedding. They also dressed up like they were attending the Wedding (hats and all). They were also having a tea and luncheon during the same time the Royals were doing all their stuff. So, I believe this is going to sell very well in this area. I can't wait to tell my customers they can go to USPS.com to order the items.
Royal weddings don't happen every day. I think USPS was wise to create a product to have available so quickly.
We need more revenue generating ideas!
