I spent the last few weeks really searching and deciding what I wanted to use. Finally stumbled upon some really sweet, simple postcards. I thought it was such a great idea. And not expensive either! Most places, etsy or otherwise, would have a design, and let you upload your picture. All would be printed for about $1.29 per card? So all we had to do was find a design we wanted, choose the picture (turning out to be incredibly difficult), upload, and order! I had grand illusions of printing them ourselves, which proved to be a headache on top of the headache I already have.
My husband to be, being the technologically ambitious (and oh-so-handsome) man that he is, really had faith that we could design the card ourselves. After a lot of googling, and a lot of mistakes, we did! And we found fantastic business website, Vistaprint, that offered easy upload of your design and printing services at a seriously reduced rate. In fact, we found that we were saving so much money, that we were able to expedite the shipping, so that they would arrive at our doorstep before the holiday weekend. So Labor Day, we'll be laboring away, addressing our Save the Date postcards, with lots and lots of love. To send to those we love lots and lots.
I can't wait to get home tomorrow and see that package at my doorstep. And can't wait to see the final product!
(three days later they came....!
lit some candles, poured a glass of wine, and took two nights to address them all. so fun)
