I just got engaged (Yay!!!) and am starting to plan. We don't want to spend a huge amount of $$ on a wedding, because having our closest family and friends share our wedding day with us and starting our new life together is what's most important. As such, I've decided to send electronic invitations instead of paper and printed save the date cards instead of electronic. People will be more likely to frame and display a photo save-the-date card of the two of us as a keep sake more so than a paper invitation. Paperlesspost.com has a big variety & style of eInvites to choose from - from whimsical to traditional to chic & elegant. I've decided to go with Vista Print for the save-the-date cards because these can be a little less formal. VistaPrint makes it super easy. Pick your template, upload a photo, customize the text and you're done! All my close friends and family know I'm a techie so it fits my personality and they won't be a bit surprised. I am looking forward to making my own wedding programs though! I have a super creative side, so I'm looking forward to visiting the specialty paper stores and seeing what I can come up with! I wanted to share this post to let other brides know that it's ok to do your own thing when it comes to your wedding. Customizing your wedding and making it uniquely YOU is what will make it memorable and special - to you and your guests. Do what's in your heart. You don't need permission.
