Save the Dates!

So the Save the Dates have been sent out! And luckily only 3 came back which is great news!

I really like how they turned out! My Uncle Bill designed them based on some ideas that we sent him. He used some of our engagement photos and then meshed them together to create our beautiful postcard sized magnets! I think they turned out wonderfully and everyone that we talk to has like them. We chose to go with a magnet just because they are so easy to deal with. Everyone puts this sort of stuff on their fridge anyways so why not make it easy?!

We were worried about postage though as we didn’t want the magnets to stick together in the mail so we ended up double lining the envelopes so that the magnets couldn’t be able to stick since the envelopes were so thin. Then we punched the edges with a snowflake punch to give it a little character. That was a bit of a long process because we had to fold them together and then cut them and then tape them into the envelopes and then stuff and seal them. At one point Robyn had us try gluing the two papers together but we gave up on that pretty quick. We also stamped them with two interlocking hearts in our blue!

I also printed the addresses on the envelopes because neither Thad nor I have very good handwriting and I really wanted them to look nice. They turned out so well I am thinking of doing that on the invitations! Mom and dad helped out on the invitations and we finished in no time!
