Save the date ideas

Posted Monday, March 23, 2009 6:40 PM

We got FMIL's save-the-date in the mail yesterday!  A cutsey little magnet with sort of a mod design on it.  Very her!  Can't wait until her wedding.  I'm one of her bridesmaids and fiance is walking her down the aisle.  I think it will be great and a lot of fun.  :D  Some people had attitudes when I said I was going to be one of my FMIL's BM's, because at the time fiance and I were not yet engaged.  We'd only be dating for FOUR YEARS!  Her son and I were in Europe together for the entire summer when she asked me, for crisp's sake! 

I was surfing peoples' blogs and came across this idea for a save-the-date photo strip and fell in love!!  I can't wait to make our own!  I'm really just posting it here so I don't lose the link to this one that I absolutely love.  When it comes time I'm going to show this one to fiance because I like how they did the black and white with the splash of color, and I'm not completely sure I'd tell him that the right way... I think its called saturated, but I'm not sure.  Fiance is a graphic designer so he'd know these things.  ;)

 The only problem I am thinking is how to put them in an envelope without it just floating in there.  Also, I'm thinking it'd be nice to make it into a magnet but I'm not sure how I'd do that.  Anyone reading this have a suggestion?
