save the date


I'm so excited to finally show y'all our save the date!!

Larry and I's friend MJ is a graphic design major, so he designed us these FO FREE
The picture is one of our engagement photos (taken by the amazing Tate Tullier).

So wanna know how cheap they were? 
Well I ordered them from Snapfish and at the time they were having a promotion for 5 cent 4x6 prints, SCORE! We hadn't quite finished the guest list yet so I order 200 matte 4x6 prints just to be safe (way too many). So with tax and shipping they came out to a whole $18! 

We ordered the 4x6 envelopes from Amazon for $22 for 200.

The total for 200 save the dates was only $40! So cheap!
So when someone tells you it's too expensive to send out save the dates, tell them their crazy and do what I did!

(I only ended up sending out about 100, so postage was like another $50, still not bad!)

Here are some of the other save the date options MJ gave me... Aren't they all great??

  3. Wow! MJ did an AMAZING job! (I secretly wish I had become a graphic design major.. don't tell anybody) These are so gorgeous, and I really really love that photo of y'all! :D

    We did postcard style Save the Dates as well (..I find it really awk when people post on wedding websites and put STDs, so I'm never abbreviating save the date, ever). And everyone seemed to love them!

  6. i LOVE these "save the dates"! The one you picked is my favorite, too :) I have a pretty awesome photoshop-ish program on my computer that lets me design pretty much anything, so i know I will be designing my own ('fo FREE) when the time comes.

    only a few more months for you, chica! so excited for you guys!

  8. Oh my gosh, these are GORGEOUS! That first one you showed is by far my favorite. So sweet, so beautiful, and seems so you! So excited about you wedding! Can't wait to see more details. I just got married this past September, so wedding stuff is still fresh on my mind! :)

  9. GORGEOUS Danielle! The pictures are stunning to begin with! We didn't do save-the-dates in fact, we didn't even do invites. We eloped those many years ago...it's not nearly as exciting and romantic as it sounds, I mourn the wedding dress I didn't get to wear, often! haha I'm kidding but seriously, I was inspired once again by one of your thrifty outfits and I included you in my post today :) You can check it out here :)
