I have been so busy with school trying to finish up my BA in Interior Design before we get married next spring that I am just now getting time to scan and post our save the dates. I found the postcard save the date design online and thought they were so different. I contacted the designer, Marit Hanson and asked if the design was custom or if she had a template to re-create for us. Luckly, she said she could re-create the postcard save the dates for us. I was so excited! They turned out just like I pictured them…
As soon as we sent them out; we got so many phone calls and emails with everyone saying they loved them! I was so happy because I was looking for something very unique that no one has seen before. It was worth the extra money we spent; now we just have one less chandelier for the reception. Ha, ha. We recently contacted Marit to design our invitations since she did a great job but it was WAY out of the budget we had set aside for invitations. We are still searching for a custom invitation designer in our budget. I have a feeling it will be challenge since the save the dates were such a big hit; I really have big shoes to fill to blow them away with the custom invitations but I am up to the challenge!
Check out the company I found for my stationery and invitations: http://www.serendipitydesignco.com/wedding.html
She designs everything custom (I have my first phone meeting with her this afternoon) and I loved her work. Very affordable too, though more than I had planned on spending as I was thinking of doing them myself. However, once I saw her pricing and great work, I knew she was going to save me tons of time and the money would be pretty comparable to what I would have to provide in ink, printing, and supplies.
She also designed the stationery and such for the wedding which was the inspiration for my colors and ideas so I totally fell in love with her. Let her know that I referred you to her if you like her web site and contact her.
Those are awesome save-the-dates! I love them!
