wedding planning: s-t-d!


don't worry, s-t-d = save-the-date.

almost everyone has received our save-the-dates by now (except for the hard-to-get-ahold-of-people who won't give us their addresses!!!!), so it's safe to share them here!

yay!!

our friend thomas took the photo, i edited the photo and came up with the concept, and levi designed them by hand. we love them.

here's the front:


and the back:


we had them printed by postcards.com.

SUCH a good deal. we had 300 printed (we did not send out 300 s-t-ds - their increments were weird), and it was less than $50 including the shipping. the quality was excellent. they seriously look amazing. we will absolutely be using them for future projects.

and since they were postcards, postage was only 28 cents.


annnnnd, now this whole wedding thing is starting to feel very, very real.

  15. This is brilliant! What a great photo - so unique! My sister is also getting married next year on a tight budget. I will be sharing this idea with her for sure. Right now she's getting some wonderful ideas from the book, The "W" Day by Giulia Macchia. She said beautiful weddings are showcased, but the book offers advice on how to recreate them without breaking the bank. You should check it out!
