Wordless Wednesday (a day late...and a few words)

I follow a TON of blogs, really it is insane, my google reader constantly reminds me that I have over 1000 unread entries. But quite a few of the bloggers do a feature on Wednesday called Wordless Wednesday. I wanted to join so here is my first post.

The pictures is from a photographer I follow, Shannon Montez. She says it is not photoshopped and is SOC (straight out of the camera). I LOVE it and would to know how she did it (and secretly wish I could)! Any photographers want to fill me in?

Save the Dates

Also known as STD's, although I prefer not to call them that, doesn't sound good. Save the Dates are something you send to your guest list anywhere from six months to eight months, even one year, before your wedding day. This is an opportunity to inform your guests (especially out of town guests) when and where your wedding will be so they can plan accordingly. If you have a website, it is a good idea to include it on your save the date. Guests are then able to see more information about your wedding, including times and locations of your ceremony and reception. You should put your room block information on your website, so out of town guests can find the hotels you have blocks at and be able to book rooms. Also, this can give guests an idea of what to expect at the wedding in terms of color and/or style. If you have not yet decided on what that will be, then send something simple. If you have decided, make sure your save the date will match the rest of your stationary items, including your invite and inserts, program, escort card, and menu - make sure they have a coheasive look.

There are a TON of different save the dates out there and I wanted to share some different and creative ones with you.

Not sure I would recommend this, but it still is a little fun!

LOVE this!


What do you do for your save the date? Share you ideas with everyone! Have fun and be creative!

Invitations

I have an obession with paper products, it's a sickness. I love the idea of scrapbooking and card making, but when I sit down to do it (I haven't sat down to do this in a loooooong time), I go blank and don't know where to start. When I was getting married, I made all of our invitations, around 150 of them. I was very very anal about how they looked, I even hot glued the bows so they would lay just right. My husband thought I was nuts but I loved it doing. Sometimes I think about doing custom invites for my clients, but I don't know where I would find the time. So, I leave that to the invitiation designers.

Today, I am joining with Invite Only to host a special discount on invitations for my blog readers. Amanda was a bride of mine a few years ago and since has started her own custom stationary business. Here is what she has to say about herself and her business:

"In December 2005, I was proposed to by the man of my dreams. We spent the next 20 months planning and preparing for our big day. My favorite part (besides the " I DO's", of course) was creating our invitations. It allowed us to give our guests a preview of our special day.

I have always enjoyed creating invitations for all of life's occasions. Invite Only has given me the opportunity to share my creativity with others and to help bring the vision of their event to life. Invitations set the tone and create excitement for your event. I want to make your first impression a great one!

At Invite Only, we will work with you to create not only a special invitation for your event, but a keepsake that you and your guests will cherish forever!"

So her speical for my blog readers is this:

Sweetheart Special:
I will be offering a 15% discount on orders placed through February 15th. The first three brides to place their invitation order prior to February 15th will receive 25% off of their order!

How awesome is that!! She does fantastic work and is able to help you come up with a custom design that showcases your wedding to your guests. I would definitely take advantage of this deal.
