Save the Dates!

It’s been awhile, yet again. If you’re won­der­ing what I have been up to this post may answer that ques­tion. I’m excited to finally share with your our Save the Dates! Putting them together was truly a labor of love, as Brian and I both spent hours design­ing, trim­ming, fold­ing, and assem­bling every last one of them.

If you’re inter­ested in the details, the Save the Date itself was printed dig­i­tally, and all the other pieces we printed our­selves on our home ink jet. I also can’t write this post with­out men­tion­ing the cal­li­graphic con­tri­bu­tions of Katy of K is for Calligraphy, and Jenna Hein. Katy cal­ligraphed and assem­bled the enve­lope seals with “Save the Date” on vin­tage New York maps to go with our whole theme. And awhile ago I had Jenna cal­li­graph our return address so that I could make it into a stamp, so it was put to good use here. Both ladies gave us quite a few lovely options that I have been want­ing to share for months. So I will be sure to do a follow-up post with those very soon. I can’t rec­om­mend work­ing with either of them enough.

    I’ve been so excited to see the first hints of your wed­ding sta­tionery — and it def­i­nitely hasn’t dis­ap­pointed. I bet all your guests are going to be very excited to get these trea­sures in the mail. I love all the type, just amaz­ing… Well done guys!

    PS. Does that mean navy is going to be one of your main colours? If so, awesome!

    We had the plea­sure of Courtney design­ing our Save the Dates and we’ve received noth­ing but rave reviews since they were mailed. My fiancée and I have noth­ing but pos­i­tive things to say about the work she has done for us!

    @Jane: I WISH they had been pur­chased that way. But no, we (well Brian mostly took care of that part :-) indi­vid­u­ally cut and assem­bled each one.

    @ Brett: Aw thanks!! I can’t wait to share your invi­ta­tions here once they’re all sent out!
