Hello all! Since all of our the save the dates that will be mailed are out, I thought I’d share!
We still have a few to hand deliver and then a few more to electronically deliver. These are for our friends we were unable track down addresses for. It’s true, but it’s also code for “we ran out.”
Between all of my family’s changes to the guest list and my writing nonsensical addresses from staring at the numbers too long, our order of plenty was not enough. I have learned my lesson—always order even more than you think is enough and then some!
We decided to go with postcards because they’re kind of in your face as soon as you check the mail. It’s just an added perk that postage is significantly less.
Vistaprint was nice enough to make these for us. If you need anything printed, they run fantastic deals regularly.
Where are you getting your save the dates from?
We had a enough additions to the guest list after I ordered our first batch of STDs that I had to order a second. Snapfish had a 50% off sale the first time. Wish I’d ordered more, too.
Those look great! I love the point that they are in your face when you get them in the mail, haha. I also love Vistaprint - we didn’t use them for our save the dates but I have taken advantage of some of their crazy sales for other things!
They’re so cute! I love the picture you chose (and that you’re sending one to Mickey and Minnie).
i have the opposite needed 147 was cheaper to buy 250 so now I have 100 extra Save the Date Cards hanging around my apartment… and no idea what to do with them
Love Vistaprint! Got a great Groupon deal with them. They did a great job.
These turned out so cute! I’d definitely love to see a postcard like this in my mailbox one day. 
Love those postcard stamps 
We went a similar route with shutterfly.com. Super cute!
Those are our save the dates (with our pictures on them, of course) and our stamps! Great minds think alike!
Very cute! I love the “order of plenty was not enough”
That’s a great pictures of you two! And yay for vistaprint, they rock.
@dinajean: Yikes! Let me know if you find anything to do with your extras! I know I’ve seen people make cute things with invitations like framed art or turn them into holiday ornaments.
@Miss Teacup: Thanks! I think the post card stamps are really pretty! We lucked out that they looked coordinated to our engagement pictures. We just had the same stroke of luck with our invites too! The post office is selling their holiday stamps now and the evergreen line was perfect.
@ImDaCat: Ooo yes, great minds! I’m a big fan of your save the dates
