Got the Save the Dates done!

Original post by Celest

Thanks everyone who gave feedback with my attempt at the save the dates. Well I ended up doing them afterwards & was sooo happy with the results. Now I am trying to think about designs for the invitations.

For the Save the Dates, I designed the whole thing in Photoshop, ( I bought the background cherry blossom image off the net and broke it apart & messed to use pieces). I used Vistaprint & uploaded my design. I wish you could see them in person, I really like the texture of the postcard. The magnet is good, not as thick as I would want, but for the price that I paid, who the hell was I kidding.


I did the images in linen postcards


and a magnet to match



So they are out in the mail now, i printed the addresses directly on the envelops in the same script on the STD's & did a clear return label using the design from the card & my address.

Thank you so much!!! My ego got a much needed boast, at least one thing looks right I only now have 99,999 more things to go.

LeslieMike: loved vista print. Must say I was skeptical at first but they did a good job with the postcards, the magnets are a tiny bit offset & not think as I may have wanted, but I wasn’t even going to try & print those myself so how can I complain.

Thank you so much ladies. Now hopefully I can work another design, using red (which I think the bridesmaids dresses will be) somehow into the official invites.
