Save the date!

August 4th, 2006 @ 8:34 am by Mrs. Poppy

We already sent out our save the date cards so I figure it’s safe to post!

Wedding Cake Stamp from Michaels ($3-4 on sale)
Gold Ink pad from Michaels ($2 on sale)
New York City postcard… 5 cents each
uni-ball waterproof/fade proof pen in black

When we explored the streets of NYC for postcards we finally found a place that sold them for a nickel each. When we went to the cashier to check out he said…

“How many?”
“Um…….. 200 do you want to count?”
“No.”

Haha.

Mr. Poppy stamped the postcards and I wrote them out. It took forever to handwrite each postcard but it was well worth it! We didn’t want anyone to forget the date so we said to keep the postcard as a raffle ticket at the wedding! We’re hoping that people will put it on the fridge so they’ll always remember….

We already got so many emails from guests saying they will MAKE SURE they bring the postcard cuz they want the gift!!! I would post what the gift is - but a lot of my guests read this site… so…. I guess everyone will have to wait till after the wedding.

Do you see the red heart? Guess what I used to colour it? Marker? Red pen? Crayon?

I used nail polish that had glitter. hehe…. ^___^

Wow…200 of them?! I’m glad I’m only having about 75 people at my wedding! They look GREAT though, and I love the fact that you used nail polish for the hearts. That’s so cute!
