I’ve been back and forth about whether I wanted to admit to this or not… but when I first saw our ‘Save the Date’ cards printed out, just waiting to make their way to our future wedding guests, I got goosebumps.  It was so weird to see my name and Alex’s name on paper like that, informing the world they we “are getting married.”  Maybe other brides have this same reaction, I don’t know.  But, as a person who had actually begun to believe she would never be getting married, the in-print declaration that it’s happening was almost overwhelming.

I absolutely love our ‘Save the Dates,’ too, so maybe that is part of the reason I got all teary over them.  All the stationery items we’re using for the wedding are being designed by my sister, Lisa, who is a freelance graphic designer.  I showed her a font I kept gravitating towards on Wedding Paper Divas and she illustrated a font to be similar, then drew the stars herself. We used VistaPrint to print them out, which is a company I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to design/print their own ‘Save the Dates’.  There’s a chance we’re using them for our wedding invitations as well – Lisa is almost ready to order a test print of those as we speak!

Because I’m a bit paranoid, I asked Lisa to remove our last names and our wedding website URL from the design of our Save the Dates. Here they are:

Aren’t they cute?  Our invitations are completely different (they’re more formal-looking), and once they are mailed out I’ll be sharing those as well!

If you’re interested in Lisa’s other design work, please contact me through this blog and I will be happy to provide you with her contact information.
