Well I'm upset

I have been trying to come up with the 'cutest' idea for my Save-the-dates. I found a great idea, and it turns out to be sooooooo much more $ than I wanted to spend. (Of course, like everything I want for this wedding)

So, how much did you spend on your save-the-dates? Where did you get them? And, can I see them, please!

Thank you.

Ah, I know the feeling well....

We got our STDs from Candy Wrapper Store and the prices are right there on the website.

Here's ours:

Ours were scratch off ones( the car one in the middle)

We loved theses, thought they were dumb but everyone loved them...we got them online for $79 for 50...
I think they were Carlson craft, we searched online till we found the cheapest price, got them in like 7-10 days..

What was your idea?

It was pictures of us as kids transformed onto a bride & groom body. It was going to be a greeting card with a message on the inside. It was alot of work and a one time art fee of $150.

We made ours very easily and pretty cheap! We bought magnetic paper at Staples... 4 sheets for $10... We used a print shop program to design them (we chose a business card template so we got 10 magnets per sheet) and just printed them out! I would attach a pic but my laptop is in the shop and I don't have one on this PC :(

Just an FYI, the clip art used in the STD by Jimmy's Bride can be found online. I used that for my address labels

I ordered jumbo postcards from paperdirect.com and printed them ourselves. They read:
As Autumn leaves turn their brilliant hue,
two hearts will join and say I do...
Please save the date to celebrate the marriage uniting Bridget XXXX and Michael XXX on October 29th, 2004.
