Programs, Place cards and Thank you's...oh my...

Wednesday, September 17, 2008

Hugely productive day in terms of wedding purchases.

I've been completely utilizing the 50% coupon at Michael's and COMPLETELY lucked out when the Michael's over on LaVista put their entire BRIDE line on sale for 50% off.

WHEW! I was freaking out that I wouldn't be able to make enough trips to the store to get everything.

And, I was able to get Lindsay's approval on all my lofty paper ideas after we met for dinner.
YAY!!!

Sooooo.....here we go:

Invites:I'm SO thrilled with my invites. They're so cute, perfect for our theme, completely the right color, they "look" expensive, and they come with their own little band so that we can add other cards (directions, accomodations, reception, etc.). YAY!

Programs:

I love these programs. Again they are printed on that ecru linen textured paper with the fern letterpress. They're cute, small and square. I'm excited because I hope to make these super informative for our guests (especially with the Catholic service).

Save the Dates:

These are rockin!!!! They are pocket invites with a die-cut design in the center. So basically you print your Save the Date on the ecru linen paper and it pulls out of the pocket. So cool. I'll probably attach a photo magnet of us that when you pull off will reveal all the info. including the wedding website.

Place Cards:

Yay for matching! So I'll have these done in calligraphy and they will actually be escort cards.

We'll have assigned tables, but guests can then sit at whatever place they choose. I thought that was a good way to not be TOO formal.

Thank you Cards:

Seriously, BRIDES thought of everything. Meet my matching thank you cards.

So pretty and definitely a cool way to carry the theme all the way through the wedding.

We'll do our thank you notes for gifts on these and probably send a Thank you photo collage card/post card after the wedding.

Seals:

Ok, so these were kinda unnecessary, but they were so darned cute. Again, carrying the theme all the way through, just a cute little detail to seal the invite.

I'm so excited to have found a really great medium in order to solve my paper dillema. And with all the sales, I ended up paying about $150 for EVERYTHING.

How's that for cutting corners on a tight budget?!?! WOOT!
