Weekend, Here We Come!

Today is a good day.  Lee's and my e-pic photo shoot was featured on my all-time favorite wedding blog, Style Me Pretty. It's pretty cool, because over 90% of submissions are turned away, but somehow my submission managed to sneak its way in there! 

In other exciting news, I mailed our save the dates yesterday, and they should be coming soon to a mailbox near you!  You will receive one of two varieties, so be sure to collect them all while supplies last. 

 A surprise I will share with you now: check out the postmark when you get your save the date!  I traveled a short distance to Bridal Veil, Oregon to send out my save the dates and will be doing the same thing for my wedding invitations. 

Bridal Veil, OR Post Office

The only thing keeping this post office open is the thousands of brides who travel here to get there wedding correspondence hand-cancelled by the postmaster.  While I was there, I was able to choose from 3 postmark stamps.  I chose a plain circular postmark because I want to save the special postmarks for my wedding invitations.  When I send out my wedding invitations, I will get to choose between a heart or dove design.  Which do you like better? 

No machine printing on these beautiful invitations!

The Save the Date Saga

We got our Save the Date proofs back!  I am very happy with how they look.   The rest will be ordered tomorrow and will be here by the end of the month!

Case Closed!

A decision has been reached!  Since the prices were very comparable, I decided to go with TWO save the date designs.  Younger wedding guests (my friends and Lee's friends) will receive the black and white artsy save the date, and parents' friends will receive a more traditional pose on their save the dates.  Everyone's happy, especially me.  :)

Best of all?  My only expense is printing the postcards, since I designed the postcard by myself and the e-pics were complimentary from our photographer.  The total price per postcard to print is 24 cents.  Postage for each will be 29 cents, making this one budget-friendly project!  

Wedding Bee

I never have done this before, but I started a poll on the wedding website Wedding Bee, which is a open forum for brides.  I was getting conflicting advice from my parents and Lee's parents on which save the date picture to use, so I thought I would pose the question to total strangers to see what they think!  Check it out to see what the results are! 

Save the Dates!

I have been working on options for save the date postcards, and I need your help!  Below are some of the save the dates I have created.  Here are my questions for you!

1) Which is your favorite front design?  Keep in mind the picture can be changed.  Also, the colors can be modified as well. 

2) Which is your favorite back design?  The back will be printed in black and white.  Again, keep in mind the picture can be changed. 

3) Out of the featured pictures, which is your favorite picture for the save the dates?  If there is a different picture from our engagement photo shoot that you think would also work, let me know!
