Save the Dates

Picture
We ordered our save the dates from vistaprint while they were having a really good deal....35% off plus free shipping. Tony really wanted magnets, and I didn't want to spend a ton of money so when the deal came up and we could do them almost as cheap as the ones we were looking at from Sam's Club, we went for it. I am so glad we did. I bought plain cards at Target (200 for $10) with envelopes and we will attach the magnets to the cards with glue dots. I also bought some ribbon from Michael's that says "Cherish Love Joy" to decorate the cards. Here is a mock-up. The real ones will say "A Magnet for your Fridge" above the "Formal Invitation to Follow." After talking with some people, I guess it may not be obvious to everyone else that it is a magnet attached to the card.

Invitations

These are the invitation kits we bought at Michael's. They were buy one get one free, so I couldn't pass this deal up. They were not as difficult as I thought they would be to put together. Tony's mom got them printed for us at Kinkos so I didn't even have to mess with the printer! They came with one set of cards which we used as RSVP cards and then printed a small additional insert with the reception and hotel block information. They are all stuffed and ready to be mailed shortly.
