Even The President Has To Use A Stamp
Turns out that when you send Barack and Michelle Obama one of your wedding invitations, they go one better than sending you a Crate & Barrel vase in return. This baby's a framer, don't you think?
(PS: if you want to invite the President to your own wedding, this is the address to use.)

that's the awesomest!
Dec 21, 2009
um, coolest thing ever.
Dec 21, 2009
And I was excited about the Christmas card I got from them. This is even better--hand addressed, even! I'm jealous!
Dec 21, 2009
Damn. Wasn't expecting that. Very, very sweet!
Dec 21, 2009
That makes me wish we waited to get married til there wad a cooler president in office! That's a keeper!!
Dec 21, 2009
I'm with Elysaneth. I wish we had waited just another year for a better prez!! You gotta frame it. Maybe do one of those side by sides with a wedding pic on one side and that one on the other?!
Dec 22, 2009
i knew about this, then forgot to send an invitation in. but it doesn't matter because it was in 05, and framing a card from the former administration... well... um, no.
Dec 22, 2009
Definitely frame it. And do you know where it would look really good? The newly painted hall.

If you're concerned about privacy issues, you might want to blank out the address in the reflection as well.

oh my, this totally makes me get all teary. I'm bummed that we could have done this for our wedding, but didn't think of it! Would have totally freaked out my crazy right-wing father-in-law, too. Ah well, missed opportunities. But thank you for sharing this. So cool!
Dec 22, 2009
Um, totally amazing. I remember when you mentioned on your blog that you were inviting them. Who knew they would be proper enough to send a card – and within 6 months too!
Dec 22, 2009
Coolest. Thing. Ever.
The Obama's continue to impress me!
Dec 22, 2009
V fun! :)
Dec 22, 2009
That's awesome! and HAHA "your journey"...maybe the Obama's are fans of Secret Bachelor Tuesdays?
Dec 22, 2009
This is almost worth getting married all over again for.
Dec 22, 2009
Sweeeeeeeet!
Dec 22, 2009
OK, that is PHENOMENAL!
Dec 22, 2009
Cool!!!!!! God, I love our President and his wife...I think we should repeal term limits, just let him stay there for, I don't know, the next 25 years or so?? It's amazing to go to bed at night and not worry about who is running the country...
Dec 22, 2009
ahhhh! That's incredible... now I MUST get married while he's still in office so I can get one of my own, hahaha.
Dec 22, 2009
Wow! Did they actually sign it?
Dec 22, 2009
Just when I thought your wedding couldn't get any cooler...

Made me tear up, I kid you not. That Prez of yours just wows me over and over again with his awesomness.
Holly+Sean=Best.Wedding.Ever.
Dec 22, 2009
okay that is amazing. love that you got a response.
Dec 22, 2009
Holy guacamole! That's awesome(ness). Correspondence from the Pres and his First Lady...well, I never! :P
Dec 22, 2009
Woof.
I wrote to Kenneth Branagh several times, and so far have only received letters back from his assistant.
Guess I should try sending a holiday card to the old prez.
Dec 22, 2009
That is just the most amazing thing ever! I did not even realize you could do such a thing. Mind you, I'm from Canada and I've never seen anyone send our Prime Minister a wedding invitation.
And yes, the President's response is a framer!
Congrats, by the way - you two are the sweetest couple.
Dec 23, 2009
Wow. This just takes the cake. It's... the cat's pajamas... the bees knees... all of those things!
Dec 23, 2009
Love it.
Dec 23, 2009
Totally adding them to my invite list.
Dec 23, 2009
That is so cool!! They have such a great marriage too, it's like an extra blessing. Or whatever. You know what I mean.
Dec 23, 2009
Did you send an invite to the Queen too, as you planned? If so what was the response? Could make a good double framed picture if anything comes through!

Dec 30, 2009
That is totally awesome! I'm sending them a wedding invitation as well! I'm also going to invite Bono . . .
