Save That Date!

Woo Hoo!!  Not only did I achieve my goals of creating a fun and brightly colored save-the-date, but John loves them too!  I had inspiration from a save-the-date I had come across in my searches a long time ago, but I didn't have the original image.  I had sketched out a rough mock-up and couldn't even remember what the first one looked like.  Anyway...drumroll please....


We are going to use vistaprint to print postcards and then add magnets as well.  The magnet will actuallly be placed over the "Save the Date" section at the bottom.  I have drawn up 2 magnets so far that I like:




I basically looked around on all the sites out there and found pieces of magnet std's that I liked.  Once I got the ideas, I spent some time working in powerpoint to draw out what I was thinking.  I plan on doing a third magnet that will be a bit of "play on words" for our younger, non-traditional friends.  I'll share once I do!!

Has anyone else created their save-the-dates on their own?

  3. Thanks guys :) I actually think I am going to use them both and a third one! I'll just send them out to people based on their personalities. I'll be posting the third one later today once I finish it up--it's definitely a little more humorous and for our friends

  5. I love your save the dates, especially the font is very fun and playful! I love the magnet idea. We have not decided on STD yet but I am leaning more towards a postcard with our picture on the front. Here's my blog link if you feel like stopping by!
