For the most part, my Save-the-Dates are going to be sent out via email. I will post more about those at another time. For those family members who are not up to speed on email, I decided to put together some simple, paper save-the-date cards. And where better to brainstorm than the Paper Source. An hour later I walked out of the store with supplies for the save-the-dates, invitation ideas, and a seamstress!
While working my way through the walls of paper options, one of the seamstresses I had contacted called me back. Her name is Diana, but on her website she goes by Maryland Seamstress. She was really friendly on the phone and listed out her unbelievably good pricing. I had already read her reviews online and her previous brides were all very happy with her work. Another puzzle pieces is falling into place! My fittings won't start until April but she is already booking appointments for the spring, so I'll add mine to her list.
But back to the paper... The women working at the Paper Source were really helpful and pointed out papers that would be easy to print on in sizes that would be easy to mail. Picking out papers was a lot harder than I thought! Even though I am sending out just ten to fifteen save-the-date cards, I want them to look nice. After going through all the reds, oranges, yellows, and browns, I decided. I picked an orangey-red backing with an off-white floral printer paper. Plus I got recycled paper envelopes to add a touch of fun. The papers aren't exactly my wedding colors, but they compliment them enough that I can definitely use the extra paper in other wedding projects. After so much success, I kept going on my wedding planning "high" at home. I added email addresses to my guest list, ordered my wedding shoes (there were only 2 pairs left!), and- well, I am blogging about it. So that's my surprisingly productive day!
