I didn't have time to send mine out.
For the folks that don't really know the time line - here it is:
Aug 12: Proposal.
Aug 20-something(9-10 weeks before the wedding): The "Nov 12" date is agreed upon and set!
I calculated the timing...
Say we were at 9 weeks -
My goal was to send out the invitations 8 weeks in advance.
1 week to design, print, and send the save the date cards wasn't gonna happen.
It couldve happened, but there was no point because only after a few days the guests would receive their invitation. LOL.
Anyhoo - I made things much easier, convenient, cheaper, and got to talk/email some of my family by just a simple phone call, text, facebook email, chat, etc and played catch up, and i also let them know to please "save the date" :)
hehe, and at that time I also asked for their mailing addy! 3 birds, 1 stone! :)
Well, here's my unused save the date card...I like the damask, but I LOVE houndstooth. I think I woulda gone for a houndstooth look :)
haha! I totally forgot I made a funny sample to show my wonderful, efficient, trustworthy, and beautiful wedding planner, Maria. haha...she got a kick outta this!
I designed it myself, and I would've got them printed on postcard paper, used 29 cent stamps, and mailed them right off :)
The font is Pussycat... I think its actually called Pussycat Snickers. something cute like that. Its a fun not-too-girly font. The dots on the i, j, and dashes are stars :) its one of my faves. i use this font for my scrapbook spine titles.
