save the dates help!

I'm researching save the dates, and I'm thinking of doing one where I put pictures of myself and my fiance when we were kids. Kind of similar to the ones at this website:

Has anyone seen this type of STD anywhere else? I want to see other options...please let me know!

you should definitely check out magnetstreet.com or vistaprint.com

most of those websites you can customize the text and photos that you insert so you could definitely replicate somethign liek that pretty easily.

HTH!

Hey – been super busy lately so I haven’t gotten a chance to be on the boards as much but I read this post during work and I had to make it a point to respond because I was looking for the same exact thing you were ;) see below for STD vendor details:

Link to my OP

Details:
- Contact: Marie ~ [email protected]
- Excellent pricing!!!!! It was definitely more cost effective than working w/ magnet website to “custom design” artwork, more personal and she had no limit on proofs!!! So beyond worth it!! The personal attention is perfect for brides ;)
- She does save the dates and sooo much more… I actually plan on using her to design my programs, monogram, door hangers and probably other stuff…but she will work w/ you depending on what your needs are!!
- Excellent communication and super understanding – I needed her to fix certain parameters, due to the website guidelines and she worked hand in hand with the magnet vendor to guarantee I wouldn’t lose the integrity of the design (image display) and after receiving final proof I needed her to tweak something and she had it to me within minutes!!
- She offered to place the order for me (I’m clueless when it comes to these things) but since I didn’t know which website I was going to use she sent me directions and it was easy as pie!
- I believe she also offers printing capabilities
- Sample is in my album

Seriously excellent work!!

In addition to the above: when I designed my Save the Dates I had to use an outside vendor for the magnet aspect. Fresh Impressions!!! I found this vendor through a friend and I was super impressed with the magnet quality (I ordered a sample) and the pricing is PhEnOmEnAl specifically if you plan on using the standard 3.5 x 4 option – 100 magnets are .99 cents each and we ordered 250 at .59 cents each!!!!! It was seriously unbeatable pricing + envelopes are included and they include 3 proof requests. It’s a small company and I actually got to speak w/ one of the owners (Lundi) and she was super helpful and very attentive. I had to coordinate a few things between her and Marie regarding my Magnet proof and the response/ attention was super fast. Excellent customer service!
If you plan on using them, let me know and I’d be happy to pass my “friends discount” to you. I HTH!!

I have, I almost chose one by Carlson Craft but I decided to not go with it because we couldn't get the pics to coordinate.

I think the STD's with the baby pics are adorable.. I would even try to add a recent pic of the both of you and put that on there as well.
