Save-the-Date !

Clockwise from top: Back of card with our website, front with damask ribbon wrap & gem embellishment, front of card-high gloss postcard, magnet.

The back looked like this:

Design: done in Photoshop CS

Prints: www.vistaprint.com

We chose the 100 free postcard option twice and also the 25 free magnet option twice. **Note: the postcards & announcement cards are the same size but the announcements hardly ever go on "free" specials, just order the postcards and save your money

Envelopes: Desktop Publishing Supplies Inc. 200 Red A2 envelopes for $22

Damask Ribbon: Big Lots for $1 per 9ft roll

Sticky Gems: Michael's Craft Store

Monogram Design: myself again

Monogram Labels: I got 500 2"x2" square, high-gloss labels for $32 with free shipping and I can use the leftover 300 or so for favors and other wedding knick knacks from Print Runner. The service there was awesome and I even got a handwritten "thank you" card from someone there.

This is the monogram I used:

**STD UPDATE: I can't believe the overwhelmingly large number of people who thought my save-the-date was an invitation. I thought by this day and age everyone knew what a save-the-date was! Also, the little Gem made my postage go up so I opted to only use them on the hand delivered STD's.
