Our STDs are a labour of love. They went through several stages before they were perfect. They started off like this:
Since our invitations are going to be a very formal navy and white (with maybe a hint of yellow), I wanted our STDs to be mostly yellow, and more playful. I liked the overall design, and I enjoyed the yellow envelope, but I was not sure what to do about the backing on the card. I did try the material backing with some scrap fabric, and here is what it looked like:
Even though I loved the extra texture that the material provides, I worried that the pattern on the front combined with the different pattern on the back was just too busy. So, I tried it with a navy backing:
Even though the STDs looked undeniable better with the navy backing, I was not in love. I had my heart set on incorporating fabric. So, I went back to the drawing board.
Did you rework your STDs several times before getting them just right?
* All photos taken by yours truly!
We’ve been workign on our plans for our save the dates for months. We’re almost at the final design stages, but it’s taken us awhile to get there.
These are beautiful as is, so I can’t wait to see the final version!
I am so in love with your color scheme. I’ve always wanted a navy wedding, which is our main color. I’m still undecided on an accent color. Your posts keep making me lean towards yellow! 
I’m loving your color combo. Can’t wait for the finished product!
Can’t wait to see what you come up with. I have made a couple of changes to our STD mock up.
It’s so cute!! I love those colors look great together, so I can’t wait to see what you ended up with!
I will definintely be reworking them… over and over and over! I already have THREE different sketches for them!
I really love your colors! Well those are the same colors I am using. Where did you get your envelope from? I am having a hard time finding paper products in the right shade of yellow. Yours looks perfect!

I’m so excited to see how everything with your invites/std’s turn out! We used the same colors and I had the worst time trying to get the right combination of blue, yellow and white!
I really like your colors, I cant wait to see the final product
Yay! Another Navy bride! DIY invites/STDs take a lot of stages to get it right! I can’t wait until you come up with your final product
I like all these trials! Maybe it’s the fun, yellow envelopes~
Ohhh, I like your mockup with the bright yellow! Looking forward to seeing how you tweak them!
