The next step in assembling our save the dates was creating a card to go with the handkerchief. We figured this was needed in order to give them a little bit of structure, and so that people would have the option of either keeping the card or the handkerchief, or both!

After an epic trip to Paper Source, I had my supplies and was ready to go. This included the A2 scallop cards in fuchsia, Lokta Kiwi paper, some tape runners, and a paper cutter.

Thanks to some more design help from MOH K and Mama Dalmatian, I was ready to print the text for the cards. I printed four cards per sheet of the Kiwi paper, and used the paper cutter to cut them to the exact dimensions that I needed.

Then, with a few quick swipes of the tape runner, I attached them to the scalloped cards!

I was very pleased with how they came out, but there was just one more little touch that I wanted to add. I had taken advantage of one of the amazing $0 sales at Vistaprint (you do have to pay shipping, but depending on what you get it can still be a great deal!) to get a stamp that read “handmade by the bride.” I didn’t want this to come off as bragging, so I used the small stamp on the back of the card.

Once this was done, it was (finally) time to assemble them. I was so excited to finally see all of the different pieces of them come together into a final product. After a fancy folding job and a little bit of pink baker’s twine, our save the dates were complete!

What do you think of our save the dates? Did anyone else do something similar?
