No, we do not have a venereal disease, so don’t worry! I assure you that our genitals are perfectly healthy. (TMI?)

But what we do have are Save the Dates! We ordered 4×6 magnets from overnightprints.com and will be sending them out next month. That should give my guests 8 solid months to plan and arrange flights since most of our friends & family are out of town and our wedding also falls on a big holiday weekend.

Choosing the photograph that we wanted to use was not hard. We are so lucky that we have such an amazing photographer because she was able to capture this lovely photo with all that space on the side to fill in our text. So the decision was simple.

I also loved that the picture already had our colors in it: green, pink, & white. This was completely an accident. I had bought a special yellow dress months in advance for the shoot but at the last minute, decided that I wasn’t comfortable in it because it was “too dressy” for the park. In my frustration, I just threw together something simple that I already had in the closet: a skirt, a tank and a small sweater. In the end, that was the best decision I’d made all day and I was much more comfortable.

We basically took that image and slapped some words on it. It was so easy. I opened up the photo in Photoshop and added some basic text and a light corner flourish, and voila! Our Save the Dates! I told you, easy peasy. Mr. S did help me a lot with the layout of the text and working with layers since I’m not really an expert in Photoshop. Here’s our finished design.

I really like how they turned out. Simple and to the point. Our magnets should be here in a few days and I will post them up for you guys to see. STDs are so much fun, y’all! <3
