Homemade Save The Dates!

Inspyre, 18 September, 2015 at 09:20 Posted on Planning 0 4

FH and I couldn't decide on a design we liked online, and he knows how much I like getting my craft on, so we decided to handmake them!

We're preliminarily planning our colours as black and red and the first iteration of the STDs reflected this but they were dull and dark and pretty boring.

We decided to back them with pages from an adult colouring book, buy a rotary trimmer with a couple of different blades, and jazz them up a bit!

So here they are!


It says

"Inspyre and MrInspyretobe

are getting married!

Save the date

Invitation to follow"

We toyed with adding last names, using +/& instead of and, and the date format for ages before we settled on this.

Everyone receiving one is immediate family and knows we're getting married at some point so they will know who it is! They'll be predominantly hand delivered as well so I didn't have to worry about sizing for envelopes etc.

Pretty happy with them and can't wait to get them out! Just a few more to make first.

Care to share your handmade STDs? Smiley laugh

    Those look really cool. I've designed ours, and OH is going to get them printed on nice card. We're going to send/give them out about 12months before the wedding, as we're getting married on a Thursday during the Easter holidays.
