… of the paper variety, of course.

Since Mr. Rainbow and I pushed our date back to October, I did what I said I would never do. I got on the STD bandwagon. I always said, “Oh no, STDs are not for me!” and when I discovered others with STDs, I thought, ‘What a waste!’

And now, here I am, in all my glory, complete with an STD. *sigh*

I just couldn’t help but to catch STD fever. It’s contagious, ya know? You see people having fun with their STDs, photographing their STDs, sharing… er, mailing… their STDs, and you think to yourself, ‘Gee, maybe I do need an STD. Everyone else has one. Clearly, it’s what all the cool kids are doing.’ And the next thing you know, you’ve got your very own STD.

Earlier today, I was taking my sweet time playing around on Wordle using some of our inspiration words, just seeing what it would spit out at me.

Then suddenly I thought… ‘Hmm… this could make a neat save the date.’

So, I was playing around with words and color combinations and it just wasn’t doing exactly what I wanted. The colors were right, the font was nice, but I couldn’t get the words to go where I wanted them to go. Then I made like Gregory House and had myself an epiphany. If you watch House M.D., you know exactly what I mean. He makes this face:

in every episode when he has a medical epiphany. It’s what Mr. Rainbow and I like to call “the epiphany moment” and we gasp and call it out every time it happens. We’re devoted House watchers, if you haven’t already realized.

Anyway, as I was saying, my little light bulb turned on and I thought, ‘Hmm… I could probably just do this myself, then I can make it exactly how I want it.’ So PowerPoint and I made friends for a few minutes and this is what I came up with:

I erased our last names, but you get the idea. The fonts are Castellar and Porcelain, which are the same fonts that are being used on our invites. I must admit, I’m glad I got on the STD bandwagon. I like them a lot, and it was a fun and easy project.

Is there any detail that you were completely not into, but eventually got sucked in to? Are you sending Save the Dates?
