Montana Save The Dates!!!
It is that time of year where many destination couples are beginning to plan all of the printed items to go with the theme they have chosen for their wedding day.
I wanted to pass along a few DIY tips for you!
1. While your save-the-date is an introduction to your wedding, you don't have to match it to all the printed items that you will be doing later. When you are pressured with deadlines associated with the Save-the-date, you may not have chosen an actual theme yet. I recommend doing something fun, as featured below, then you can pull the finer details of your color scheme and theme into your actual wedding invitation.
2. Favorite DIY printhouse: Prints Made Easy . com
----there are several print houses out there to choose from, even in your local communities. Just be sure you ask for samples of finished products so that you know exactly what you will be paying for! This site has a quick turn around time, lots of templates to choose from, or upload your own files!
PRINTING FOR LESS .com is a HUGE print house and positioned in the quaint montana town of Livingston. Their minimum quantities are more (minimum of 500 postcards) but is a great company if you are looking to print a large quantity for less.
3. Favorite DIY font site: DAFONT.com
I was turned on to this site from a favorite bride of mine from last year, Jill Henkle (now Yacu). I can't wait to blog her wedding! During an interview with BRIDES magazine, I turned them onto this website and they just featured it in their "brides buzz" section, on store shelves now!!!
The following save-the-date was designed by my good friend and designer Erin Leonard of EEL Designs.
She supplied us with a couple different options for the front and back of a post card style save-the-date, and here is one of my favorites--
The final product turned out a bit different, as the couple wasn't fond of the clouds. I love the clean look that they chose...
FRONT
BACK
Cassie and Chris are having a fun-filled Country Carnival themed wedding next August, and they know exactly what their color scheme will be. Here is one version that Cassie designed on her own. While this was not her final design, she had the finished product printed through a DIY print house. I will be blogging their engagement session soon, so watch for that!
Here is a file that my clients Nick and Kendra found at www.lilywillowpress.com
It is an arts and crafts style pinecone theme that the bride-to-be fell in love with.
I was able to pass this as inspiration to EEL designs and Erin came up with the following finished product--
I love postcard style save-the-dates as they provide a medium to send information efficiently and cost effectively! I hope these samples have given you some inspiration!!!!
Happy Designing!
