Wedding Wednesdays!

Ahhh, my favorite day of the work-week, (besides Friday), it's Hump Day people, and Wedding Wednesday!

What should I talk about today, hmmmm???

I have been working diligently on my Save-the-Date cards! So, I'll share that!

True to form, I wanted to create a save the date that would be both modern and elegant but new, fun, and exciting. I searched and searched for the perfect card, but fell short. I decided it would probably be best to put my creative mind to work and create my very own save the date.

After figuring the many options: magnet, traditional stationary, post card, etc. I decided to go with a post card. I love the new but old feel postcards and its would give me an opportunity to design two different sides, a modern and elegant side and then a new, fun, and exciting side!

Plus, my best friends, Ashley, works at a design company, Phase 3 Media, and she is going to help me with the pricing, a.k.a. cheap, cheap, cheap!!!

So, I got started browsing through many different websites and blogs to get inspiration. I found one that I loved on Minted.com and then I found a cute cartoon illustration of a couple in an airplane on another. I merged these two thoughts and came up with my idea. However, this first called for a friend, Sarah Johnson, to draw up a cartoon picture of Todd and I in the airplane.

This is still a work in progress.

Here is a picture of the front of the postcard:


Here is a picture of the back of the postcard:



What is neat about a two-sided card is people will be able to choose whichever side they want to put up on their refrigerator, that is if people do that like me.

So, what do y'all think? Any suggestions?

Much love, xoxo.
