I have finally sent out our Save the Dates and now that I’m sure everyone has received them, I can finally share them with the hive. We’ve seriously taken our sweet time getting these guys out due to delays from school, life, and just general procrastination. But, oh well, they are out and I’ve finally uploaded the pictures to share!
Without further ado, here are the Duckling save the dates!
The first peek
Pull the save the date out
One more envelope!
And ta-da!
Here is a picture of how my FMIL displayed her save the date. Isn’t that sweet?
Please let me know if you have any questions. I will try to put together a post with pictures of how we put them together, as well as what supplies were used, if you are interested. Can you already tell where my Cricut and Cuttlebug came in handy?

I LOVE IT! One of THE most creative designs I have ever seen! Amazing!
um, cutest thing EVER!!! I cannot tell you how much I love those numbers on the ribbon!!!!!
These are adorable. I’d love to see a poat with all the materials you used and how they came together. What was your inspiration for these? They are so unique!
Are those words “save the date” from a stamp? It looks just like crystal kluge’s handwriting!

I LOVE her handwriting!!
When I was browsing at Papersource a few weeks ago, I bought a whole slew of those little baby envelopes because they were on sale in our colors… knowing I wanted to use them on the Save the Date, but not sure how to accomplish it. What an AWESOME idea this is!!
OMG! never seen anything like that before!! they are so fun!! your guests are so lucky to receive them!
I think I’m in love. Seriously, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more cute Save the Date. I wish I were so crafty because if I were I’d be allllll over these! lol.
OMg! Those are absolutely fantastic! I think I need to invest in some bug-machines!
These are super cute and very creative!! I totally love them!!
Sooooo cute! I love them! Did Courtney help design these, Miss Duckling?
Ahh! It’s like Martha project that I fell in love with after I mailed off ours! I just love the numbers on the ribbon! Awesome job, Miss Duckling! :o)
I love it! Definitely the best Save the Date I’ve seen to this day!!
OMG I LOVE IT! The pull out save it such a great idea

The save the date stamp is from Paper source i believe
that’s so darling! I love everything about it! Great job!!
Those are AMAZING!!! Nice job and I can’t wait to see the tutorial!
Those are the coolest STD’s I’ve ever seen! That little envelope has given me mountains of ideas. This is this a perfect way to package our after-wedding poker party!
Oops, I meant to say that these would be great to package our poker-party inserts.
WOW!!!!! LOVE it!! Thats one of the most fun save the dates I have ever seen!
Love them! I too fell in love with the Martha version but I had already sent mine out! They are so cute! Great job!
Your save-the-dates have turned out so well! So cute and creative, love it.
OMG, those are amazing! I wish I could rewind and do mine all over again, cause they sucked. Yours are so great!!
omg that is one of the cutest save the dates i’ve ever seen! if i hadn’t already bought tons of postage for postcards i would definately consider this fun do it yourself project! i just love it…
your save the dates turned out so amazing!!! love the design and font you used and over all style, great job!
That is so cute! I love the pull out numbers so creative! Great job Miss Ducking!
@Newport Nuptials: The original inspiration came from Martha Stewart. I will post that picture when I do a follow up post.
@Miss Bear Cub: The silver writing on the blue envelope is a stamp from paper source.
@amy13: The swirly font is feel script from veer. The other font I need to check on tonight and get back you.
@msashleymarie: Courtney and I did have a brainstorming session and I showed her what I was thinking. She had the fabulous idea of adding in a mini envelope.
thanks everyone for all the sweet compliments! I’m so glad you like them!
Those are so cute! I was just about to ask if you were inspired by Martha. I liked that idea a lot but I think it’s a little too complicated for me, haha
oOoOoOo So purty! I love the colors you used and how precious the pull-out-die-cut-date is! Your Save The Dates are beautiful Miss Ducky! How long would this take if you sat through them all? How many did you make total?
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to know the materials you used and how you put these together!! Absolutely adorable!
i was sp curious what was in the envelop! love it!!
Miss Duckling - WOW! How freakin’ cute are those? So original (I’ve never seen anything similar and I looked all over) and such a nice idea!
OMG - they are so freakin’ cute. I absolutely love them. Ya know, I can be crafty at times but all these ideas blow me out of the water.
Way to go! Great work!!
my GOSH those are AMAZING! Fab.u.lous!
SO CREATIVE & AWESOME!!! Seriously, probably one of the best STDs I’ve ever seen someone DIY!
I LOVE it!!! I am also having a Labor Day Weekend wedding! I hope you post a tutorial on this! How much did they come out to cost-wise?
@Boddy: Planning is going well. How was your wedding?!?! Do you have pictures back yet? We will have to do another SD meet up soon.
@markyk: It’s not a magnet but I seriously considered putting magnets on the main back and on the end of the string. Mr. D thought that would be a little overboard and add too many steps.
Oh my goshhhhhhh. This is so cute. That is just perfect. I love everything about it!
OHMYGOSHTHOSEARETHECOOLESTSAVETHEDATESI’VEEVERSEEN!!!! AMAZING!!! It makes me wish I had spent more time on mine! I can’t wait for the instruction post! Seriously WOW!!
These are amazing!!! =D
What a cute idea, to have the pull out date streamer like that! Oh, I love it! You’re so clever.
So cute and creative!! I loooove them, especially the little envelope and save-the-date pull out. Yay!
This is seriously so cute! I love the embossing on the envelop flap and pulling out the string for the date. So adorable!
As another Michelle/Mark couple I have to comment. Those are so cute! I love the colors you chose.
Love it! It turned out great! Can you post a tutorial?
@Nicole-Lynn: I’m working on the tutorial now. Hopefully it will be up on Monday. Let me know if you have any specific questions in the meantime
@TheBride2B: Yeah for M&M!!
So creative! If I were a guest I’d love getting this in the mail. Awesome job Duckling!
Did you use the cricut for the numbers? If so, which cart did you use?
Thanks
I almost made the same ones… thank you Martha Stewart!!
