All different places! STDs are Carlson Craft, Invitations I got at Lion in the Sun, and I'm doing a donation as favors, so I need to make a table card.

Re: Save the Dates, Invitations and Favors

I made my own STDs, I copied the Tie The Knot ones from this site: STD I bought the paper at Quick Pick on 110 and the ribbon from M&J Designs in the city

I ordered my invitations from Lizard Designs - they were amazing, I loved them and Liz is wonderful to work with!

For favors I gave out full sized bottles of wine from Duckwalk vineyards in Southampton. Wine

I am making my own. I am using 2 baby pics of me and my FH and a little bow on top of a folding card. I have done a test one. It is so cute.

I got my STD from Polka Dot Design and I'm probably getting our RD invite from there too. They are so great!! I wrote a review and included a pic of my STD on this thread: STD

Invitations: I'm making them (I'm insane I know).
STDs: Not sure if we are sending them, if so, I will make those too.
Favors: we are getting ours from IslandWeddingShop.com

Re: Save the Dates, Invitations and Favors

Sonic Stef created my STD bookmark design. I am having the design made into a stamp, and will be making them myself. She's awesome!

My STD

I'm using #7

As far as invites - still looking. I love ones by Paula Calhoun, but they are over $3000!!!! (for 150!!) YIKES!!

There are a few from Encore that I like, but I am just collecting samples for everywhere I can!!
