Save the Date...

I have (finally) organised my Save the Date cards. I had the idea in my head for a while, I was inspired by something I had seen on Etsy and with my past career as a graphic designer under my belt, I was more then capable to design and print myself.

So the first thing I wanted was a postcard style to fit with our destination wedding. I created a postage stamp style logo for us, that included the date, destination and our names. I then wanted the air mail look so bordered with a navy and red trim.

We had a friend take some photo's of us for an engagement session, so I wanted to use one of the photo's. I had 2 that I loved, but my other half liked the traditional portrait so we went with that. Then on the back I created a traditional post card look with our text on the left, a stamp on the right and postage stamped, then lines and a postcode box.

I am really happy with how they came out. When posting them off I realised we have invited a few too many people (gulp) so fingers crossed a bunch decide not to come, otherwise we need to change venue.

Our first Guests have booked...

I'm so excited!!! Our first guests booked their flights & hotel for the wedding!

I have been going back and forward on the date after my brother said they might not be able to attend due to cost, but after many conversations with pro's and con's lists a mile long we decided to stick with the date we have booked.

So it's official now, we have at least 2 guests attending our wedding. It's a start, but in saying that it's also all we really need. Now we need to book our tickets!
