Save the Date 2

I wanted to be able to send the save the dates in a card or something. I sent them out in spring, so I wasn't sure how I should send them. I decided on keeping it elegant. I bought plain card at AC Moore and then stamped them on the outside with the music notes stamp. On the inside, I stamped with the words dum dum da dum. Yes, it is the wedding song......NOT the funeral song. I knew some people would hum it wrong but I have a pretty good sense of humor and thought it was funny when it took some people a few tries to figure it out. I kept the card this simple and stuck the save the date magnet inside. This whole process was really cheap!

Save the Date

I went back and forth about whether or not to send save the dates. I decided to do it since we are getting married in December and there would be holiday parties going on and because I was excited and needed to do something for the wedding. :) I decided to do a black and white wedding and found a great print called damask. I am using it for runners (coming in a later post) and also wanted to incorporate the same type of design in the save the dates. I had my wonderful friend, who is a graphic designer, help with the design. (Thanks Emily!) Then, I got the design printer for free at www.vistaprint.com. I only paid a few dollars for shipping. I had them printed on business cards. I bought business card magnets at Staples and just. These are great because I just had to peel the back off and stick the business card to it. I decided to make the project a little more time consuming by adding one little crystal to the damask design. It was simple, elegant, and had a touch of sparkle. That's what I was going for anyway.
