Update: How did she do it?
I picked ten or so pictures from our professional proofs. Of the ten, 2-3 were detail pictures of our centerpieces, unity candle etc. Using Photoshop, I reduced the size of the images and cropped/enhanced them as needed. Then I made a black and white version of every photo. To create the layout, I opened up Adobe Illustrator where I played around with the color and B/W version of each photo. The possibilities were endless hence the 5 hour time line. After I committed the photos, I printed proofs using 4×6 glossy photo paper and my Canon Pixma iP5200 printer. Side by side, here are some of the color vs. B/W photos:

Took me a GOOD five hours to make these 4×6 cards. I printed some with glossy photo paper and it looks awesome.
We might use Kodak Gallery for the rest since it only costs 15 cents a print. You likey?
Great job Mrs. Spider! Love the mix of b&w and color photos.
I love how your dress is flowy from all the layers of organza or is it chiffon? Who designed your dress?
oooh, those would be awesome as thank you cards! what a nice wrap up of the whole day.
I was thinking about doing something like this for STDs…Thanks for the inspiration–beautiful!
The postcard looks really good. Love the idea how you can save money by making your own instead of doing it from these online photo print services. I feel ashame to call myself a graphic designer.
I LOVE the postcards! What an awesome idea. What program did you use to create them?
Also, check out clarkcolor.com for your prints. I currently use them for all my digital photo printing needs. Their prints are only 11 cents each and are of great quality!
They look GREAT! What a gorgeous wedding! What program did you use?
I really like them…using them for thank you’s?
I was planning on doing something similar, but tell me: did you get these in a timely enough manner to use them as thank you’s (month, couple weeks?).
They look fantastic! As a guest, I know I would love receiving something with pictures (hate boring thank you’s!). 
wow, those are awesome! You guys look so cute in those pics. Did you have to use a particular program to create your card?
lovely…i was planning to do the same too.. i was wondering what program you used?
wn,
You can simply use programs like Adobe Photoshop Illustrator or In Design to create postcards like that.
nice idea and beautiful photos!
who was your photographer?
beautiful pictures, mrs. spider!
btw: did anyone notice that mrs. bee’s icon is really weird now?
I love it!! Would you mind sharing what program you used to make them and some directions? I would love to make something like this for a holiday card.
GREAT job–love them!!
