Best Friend Save the Dates
Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at 9:50AM Today I am SO excited to share the save the dates that I designed and packaged for my best friend Ashley's upcoming wedding! Maybe you remember the bridesmaid booklets that I put together for her girls (including myself)? The save the dates actually came before the booklets and they turned out really fabulous. We decided to do a postcard style card (printed by Overnight Prints) which included pictures from Ashley and Scott's engagement session with photography by Stephany Fashempour.
But it was just too boring to mail out a single postcard in an envelope so I put my crafty twist on things. Each postcard got packaged in a glassine bag and tied with twine in Ashley's wedding colors, wine and royal blue. For a decorative flourish I added some circle tags cut out of decorative paper. These simple details gave the save the dates a little something extra and according to Ashley and her family, everything has been a big hit with all the guests. Ya!
So what do you guys think? Do you like how everything turned out, including my crafty flair with the packaging?
