After weeks of deciding what I wanted for our save the dates, bridesmaid Joey and I finally came up with the final design!
Mister Chick and I decided to be green and email everyone the STD. We did print a couple of copies for our relatives who are not internet connected. Here is the back of the STD for the snail mail version:
We were inspired initially by this STD:

Since Mr. Chick and I have such distinctive (and different) shoe styles, I decided to incorporate that into our STD. Anyone who knows Mr. Chick knows that his staple of owning at least twenty pairs of Adidas flip flops at all times is part of his charm!
The back image was inspired by this photograph:
There is a very helpful website called Vector4Free where you can download vector images for free. If anyone is looking for free fonts, visit dafont. They have tons and tons of free fonts! I decided to do the airmail border because it fits in with the theme of destination wedding. Credit also need to be given to Le Love Image Blog for the “You Me Oui” phrase!
Did you create your own save the dates? What were your inspirations?
Next post: stamps!
I was also green and emailed mine! Also, yours are incredibly adorable. I love the shoe/flip flop combo.
Tres cute.
Just a note – the snail mail version still says ‘send us your street address’ but since you mailed it to them, don’t you have their street address?
They’re soo cute ! By the way, I happen to live not far from the place where you’re getting married in France (Home–>Barsac= 30 minutes-drive) . If you need any tips, vendors, anything, do not hesitate to contact me!
Oh wow. so very cute. I really like the You Me Oui. so cute. I was inspired by Mrs. Piglet!
@sahsabahs: oh yes, I caught that mistake at the last minute and changed it (thank god!!), but forgot (again) and accidentally posted the older version on this blog post…oops! hahaa!
Thank you for the note though!
Wow – I retired my Adidas sandals back in high school, but I recognized them instantly. These are super cute. I love the airmail-ish border too!
seriously. adorable. !!! Love them…
Mrs. Chick, Houston Age and Occupation: 28, Rights and Reproduction Manager Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Computer Programmer Engagement Date: November 15, 2008 Wedding Date: April 2010 Venue: A farm outside of Houston About Me: Mr. Chick and I met almost ten years ago at Baker Blues, a college jazz party. He was attracted to my intensity, and I was mesmerized by his trivia pursuit skills and his dorm furniture adorned with his initials. We've grown more sophisticated through the years, with our love of wine, owning a house together, and parenthood (of a cat), but we have not lost our silliness or childish sense of humor!
