Our Save the Dates!

So I wanted to do a post to talk about our Save the Date cards.

Since the day we set our date I have been brainstorming ideas for STD cards, magnets and/or notes. I REALLY wanted magnets so that they can go on the refrigerator and not get misplaces. I really didn't want to spend money on something that would just go right in to the trash can. The only issue is the cost. Some sites wanted as much as $2 and change per magnet... that's crazy!

Then I thought "well I can just make my own with the help of Microsoft Publisher, so magnet backing and a little patience." Cue my surprise when they didn't quite turn out the way I envisioned. lol. So I gave up that idea. I went back to Vistaprint and found a really nice save the date care and envelop combo. They matched my color combo, there were right size and they had fast shipping... BUT they wanted almost $90 for 70 cards! So there goes that dream.

In my final search I came across 123Print.com. They seemed like a decent website and they had GREAT prices. Although I couldn't find a pre-made design in my colors that I liked, I was able to find another color combo that still fits. It was more than half the price I was quoted at Vistaprint AND it was for 100 cards. That was a done deal. From placing the order to delivery it was only about 4 days and they quality was great. I did pay a bit extra for nice paper, but it was only a few bucks and it was worth it!

So without further adieu... here is a picture of the Save the Date :-P

                  

Sorry I'm not sure how to rotate the pictures...
