Break Out Your Calendar Because…

Our Save the Dates arrived!!!

It was so painful sitting at work when I got an email saying they were delivered. I could not wait to get home to check them out! This is what I saw when I got there:

unassuming USPS priority mail box (and Buddy)

and then…

(sorry to draw this out but like a good striptease, you gotta go layer by sexy layer)

Mm, what’s this interesting box next to my Kong

Hehe, gratuitous puppy pics. Voila! The full monty:

Trying to get fancy with my simple point and shoot camera.

Can you spot the Cone of Shame??

Aren’t they gorge? Too bad the interwebs isn’t set for feel-o-vision yet because the paper is really nice - a smooth finish thickish stock. I got them in a size to fit an A6 envelope (4.75″ x 6.5″). A7 (5.25″x7.25″) is typically standard size for an invitation and since this was just a Save the Date, I went down a level.

Unfortunately though, there are no pre-cut envelope liners in this size so I have to DIY cut all of mine… but that’s a post (or rather mishap) for another day.

What did you do first when you got your Save the Dates?

@all: you might not think it’s as cute when I tell you he had to wear the cone of shame b/c he had a bad habit of butt licking / tail chasing for a while! mmm, no kisses, please.
@Miss OldTownVA: Buddy is a west highland terrier! He hails from the same Scotland as Horatio. Scotties and westies are dog cousins. Lol.

A) I grew up with Westies! My first doggie, Muffy, was a Westie I got in 4th grade and then she passed when I was 21. A couple years later my parents got 2 boys, Barney and Benny. I just LOVE them! Awe, I need to go home now and snuggle
B) I like your Save The Dates
