I have been working with the fabulous D.H. Fitzgerald Designs on Etsy to create our very own version of their State Save the Dates.
I absolutely love modern, funky designs! Although I think satin ribbon, scripty font, and pearl sheen invites are very pretty, they are just not "us".
So we are breaking out the Crate & Barrel-esque design in mustard yellow (my fave color... obvi) and charcoal... I love them!
Although they are still a work in progress, and this is only one of the first drafts, I couldn't be more excited!
Here is a generic image of the back of the postcard. Fonts will be changing to match our design.

I looove those! Very unique. :)
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! I can't believe how much you've already accomplished! My fiance and I are the same way about not doing the script/super fancy designs even though they're so beautiful sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI personally think Antigua would be a fabulous place to go for a honeymoon. I've been there on vacation and it was so, so amazing! Email me if you want any details about things to do there.
Those look great meg!
ReplyDeleteOh I love those!! They look kind of similar to ours-- I loved doing a postcard instead of card with envelope. Holy cow, girl-- you've gotten SO MUCH done so quickly!!
ReplyDeleteWe're going to a Secrets resort in Jamaica (it was cheaper to fly there than a lot of other places). Wherever you go, I definitely recommend an all-inclusive!!
OH MY GOODNESS I AM IN LOVE!!!! Geeeeez, I so wish I could be in two places at once so I could be there to see you and your mister tie the knot! I absolutely love those...they are SO perfect! EEEEK I love all the little details so much! Makes me happy :)

I'm a trained as wedding consultant and even though I don't do it professionally anymore, I still love all things weddng! I love the vibe you're kicking off with your Save the Dates - such a pretty colour combo. Do you have a plan for dressing your maids??
