I have officially mailed out our save the dates!

Which means people are actually invited to our wedding. That makes it seem pretty darn real, if you ask me! The process of collecting all the addresses was intensive, but I’m glad it’s finished. Now all I have to do is work on getting the invitations printed out!

I bought some fantastic paper on sale at Michaels. (It was half off!) It’s a nice ivory color with a little bit of texture and sparkle to it. The best part about it is that it makes the print job from my cheapo, crappy printer look very professional. I’m pretty darn pleased with how the invitation suite has turned out! I can’t wait to post it for everyone to see!!

For now I’ll just share my photos of the save the dates (since they’ve finally been mailed out!!!). Please don’t be offended by my cell-phone photos (or our blurred-out names). Normally I would be a good blogger and only share photos from my nice camera, but my camera lens recently broke so it’s out of commission for a little while.

The front of the “postcard style” save the date…

And again the front and the back (modeled after vintage postcards). I think the herb stamps were a pretty cute little addition, too.

I’ve enjoyed the process of making these so much that I want to do it again. Luckily I still have lots of friends who will be getting married in the future…if anyone wants a custom-designed invitation suite just hit me up!
