Remember when I shared my save-the-date indecision? I was torn between the magnet and the postcard. I pained over the decision, worrying that postcards might get lost in the shuffle. Y’all gave me some great feedback and eased my fears. When our engagement-session photo disk came in, I went straight to work creating four different postcard-design options and threw in one magnet design for good measure. Mr. Hawk and I reviewed them, and I thought we had it settled… I was wrong.

The next morning I told Mr. Hawk that I was planning on submitting my order that day in case he had any last-minute input. (Of course he did. Why did I open my mouth?) He was suddenly concerned about the postcards. Would they get lost? Would people chuck them? He thought magnets were definitely the way to go. I was flabbergasted. I had brought up these concerns not only on the blog, but verbally. To him. Personally. More than once. (Does anyone else feel like sometimes they must be talking to a wall?) I had bookmarked several options that I liked before, but decided to do a last-minute Etsy search. I came across a couple designs that really caught my eye by Sunshine Greeting Card Co.

I loved the simplicity of the designs, and they were different than many other STDs I had seen. SCGG offers both postcards and magnets. (We were obviously going the magnet route.) The magnet option was more affordable than what I had seen in my previous searches. And I was very excited since it really involved minimal effort on my part. Email wording and photo. Done. I was so proud of myself for not going into panic mode.

Anyone else suffer from the SO half-listen? Has it caused any snags in your planning?
