Save The Dates - Done and done!

With nine months until the big day, Office Groom and I wanted to take advantage of the holiday season to send out our Save The Dates. Earlier in the engagement we had decided on a bit of a theme for the wedding. We're both big book nerds and I come from a family of printers, so it was an easy decision to go with a book/literature theme. Once that was decided all the details of the wedding seemed to fall into place, including the STDs.

Pulling inspiration and ideas from other weddings that have had book-themes, we thought that using a library card as our STDs would be fun. Inititally we were going to purchase real library cards from a supplier, but then I found several designers on Etsy that would also print custom messages on library cards.

That's when it occurred to me - "I can do that."

So, with a little bit of work on Microsoft Word, a date stamp from Staples for $7, and printing by the sheet at a printshop for only $1, this is what we had as our end result:



We sent them out with Christmas cards to all of our out-of-town guests. A few have arrived already and we've had nothing but compliments on them!
