Save-the-Date

August 9th, 2006 @ 9:51 am by Mrs. Daisy

Oh, wait– my wedding’s just three months (!) away, so hopefully anyone who is coming will already have saved the date. These save-the-dates were the subject of some drama but it all worked out, and off the little save-the-dates went into the world, informing people of when they ought to be in NY to attend our wedding.

I’m late in posting this but, in the interest of being thorough– and as we all learned from Maude Lebowski, thoroughness is an attribute not to be overlooked– I thought I would catalogue my save-the-dates, in all their adorable glory:

the grosgrain ribbon reads more orange than red in “real life”

machine calligraphed envelopes en route to out-of-towners (avec my much-coveted lovebirds stamp)

the rip-off oh-so-reasonable hotel blocks we reserved.

Because we knew (or, rather, I knew) that our proper invitations would be much more formal, I wanted the save-the-dates to show a bit of whimsy. I died over the ribbon tie (go figure, I was a fan of pop-up books as a child as well) and loved the orange and gold color combo, as inspired by my day planner.

And we just received our invitation proof, but in the interest of surprising those of my to-be-wedding guests who actually read this thing, I won’t be posting that until the invites are signed, sealed, delivered (and yours).

For reference, though, we used Julie Holcomb Printers and we worked (extensively) with Shana at the Wedding Library. Thankfully Shana has a) patience and b) impeccable taste, because both were needed (really the former, much more) as my mother and I compared, contrasted and fought about debated letterpress invites and degrees of formality. Fun for the family, no?

You are officially my favorite weddingbee blogger, just for slipping a Big Lebowski reference into your post, ha.

thanks, girls!

i think the orange-fever is contagious, since i too am infected. alas, because of the color scheme of my venue, i could not work in orange to tabletop or ceremony decor, so i figured out some way to include it…

and as much as i love orange, Jessica, i love the Dude more. i think i watch that movie (still) monthly.

I like the orange, too. But then again, I am a fan of the color myself.
