Here’s a tip, from me to you. When looking for inspiration for your save the dates, do not, under any circumstances, do a Google search for “STD pictures.” Just trust me on this one, and you won’t lose your lunch.

My step-mom did graphic-design work in the past and still does some small projects occasionally. I asked her if she would be willing to design our STDs, and she said yes! So I threw a bunch of inspiration her way!

Inspiration #1: Mrs. Stripes’s Save the Dates

I have a bit of a crush on Mrs. Stripes. I know, she’s totally taken and all, and I suppose I am too. But everything she does is so amazing and I just want to eat it up, including these amazing save the dates.

So freaking cute! (Image and STD by Mrs. Stripes)

Inspiration #2: Classic & Mature Tree-Themed STDs

See, we are having this kinda-sorta-it-just-fell-into-place tree theme. So we could incorporate that into our STDs as well. I mean, we are getting married in the fall, so it makes sense. But while this image is so pretty, it’s a little…serious. Our wedding is hopefully going to be a colorful, fun lovefest (um, but not an orgy). So I like this idea, but maybe tweaked a bit…

Inspiration #3: Bit More Fun Tree Theme

The below image I love because it is more colorful! I love the carved initials in the tree and the background colors of the sky and grass. I love the scroll-y font with the more block-y font. (Yes, those are technical terms.)

I can’t wait to see what my step-mom comes up with and get these babies out into the world so people can, of course, get their STD on!

Where did you find your inspiration? Did you design them yourself or delegate?
