Save the Dates.. Finally



As promised our ... Save the Dates. We decided to go with our black and white kiss on the bridge. Our goal was to create a unique Save the Date that was :

1. Simple - not too much stress to create, assemble, or mail
2. Cheap- there was little to no budget for this project
3. Introduced our family and friends to the mood and style of our wedding- romantic Old New York

We decided the easiest way to keep it simple and keep prices low would be to go the postcard route. While I swooned over envelopes like these:




They were simply not in the budget. In the end it was for the best because life has been totally hectic these days so simplicity is best. We wanted the cards to resemble vintage postcards of the Brooklyn Bridge so we used photoshop to tweak the color a fit. The final print came out great and really captured the feel of what we were looking for.




Actually- the color is off for some reason here- but it looks really cool I swear. For the back we wet with a really simple message and design:


We love them. There are easy, affordable, and really capture the feel of our wedding.

  1. I think these are beautiful - they give off a very unique artistic vibe, and totally capture your wedding theme! (And as a New Yorker, I have a soft spot for that photo!) The danger with complicated STDs is that you can go over the top very easily (I'm afraid this happened to mine :( )

  2. Very cute! We fortunately won our save the dates from Lollipop Events through a blog comment contest, but we are going this route for the invites. :) http://bit.ly/4rroMH
