Wedding Blog #6 - Save the Dates and Invitations

Hello readers!! So the next thing after taking our engagement pictures was to do the save the dates and invitations.  This was the part that I was so excited about!! The save the dates we had made at snapfish.com. We had received a save the date from Aaron's cousin that was made on Snapfish and we thought it was awesome so we found one we really liked on there.  We chose this one below, it kind of has a country chic feel which is what our wedding is going to be. It took only about a week to make these and receive them in the mail. These were our favorite romantic pictures out of all the ones Angela took.  So we hope you enjoy how they turned out, we sure do! :)

So the next thing to do was our invitations.  We designed and ordered our invitations from theamericanwedding.com.  The site was easy to use and they were very quick to get them to us after we ordered them.  The colors were really true to the computer. As I have mentioned before our colors are cranberry and tangerine, so when tangerine was an option for the inside of the envelopes i knew it was meant to be. The invitation is mostly black and white with touches of color. I made our names cranberry so it was that little pop of color we needed. We put the invitation, response card and the registry card (not pictured) in the envelopes.  We bought clear address labels and printed our addresses on them instead of handwriting or paying someone to write the addresses, this saves money and it still looks very classy because we got to pick whatever font we wanted them in. Aaron and I are so very pleased with how they turned out.

So the save the dates have gone out already, right after we got all the postage, and the invitations are all put together and ready to be mailed in June / July. I think in this area we are set to go and we are so excited!!
