wedding planning: collecting addresses & save-the-dates


we have almost finished the dreaded address collecting process.

fortunately, we got a really good start at our two engagement parties.

i bought an address book and made a little sign so that guests could give us their information.


for now, the address book only includes the information of the people we're inviting to the wedding, so it will be really helpful for save-the-dates, wedding invitations, and thank you cards. there are a lot of extra lines in each entry, so i'm going to record our gifts in the book and check them off as we write thank you cards (that means you're writing them too, levi).

i also have a pretty crazy notation system on our guest list. it's seriously like reading another language...i should probably create a legend, so that levi can read it too. haha!

our save-the-dates still aren't done yet...we were supposed to send them out last week. oops! we're going to do them postcard style to save on postage and paper costs. we're using this site for printing since they're really affordable.

this is the background image for the front of the postcard:


it isn't done yet. levi will be doing some hand drawn designs right on top of the photo to give it a really whimsical look. i hope they turn out well!

Awesome!! I love that idea for an invite! I am sure Levi's hand drawn designs will make it even more amazing. I told some friends about your quilt idea and they think you are genius. I agree fully! xo
