A Date to Remember

I was having lunch with a rep one day last year, when she expressed to me her frustration with finding a quirky and fun save the date for her wedding. She sent me an example of one that her mother had found that used a collection of graphic images and interesting fonts to tell the couple's story. I offered to take a crack at making one for her, and in about a week we came to the final product that she ended up loving.

I realize it isn't formal, but this kind of thing is just perfect for some couples. Actually, I really enjoyed doing it! I would love to make these things on a regular basis.

I sent her the raw file, and she had it printed (she had a connection with someone, I believe) on cream paper that was just a click below card stock. The final dimensions ended up being about 5" w x 11" l - she had to fold them and tie them with a ribbon to make them fit into a standard envelope. I was ecstatic when she brought me one tied neatly with the blue ribbon. She also stuck a little save the date magnet in each one.

Here is what it looked like, with minor tweaks:
