FI and I put our stamps our on STDs today, and we're ready to send them out! Even though I've been labeling them over the past few months, putting stamps on them and having them ready makes me feel better already!
I designed and ordered 10 invites, rsvp, and enclosures from VP today for fun. We may not even end up using VP, but I thought I'd do a test-run for invitation quality early on. I know sending out invitations is far away, but I'd like to DIY our pocketfolds while I have the time this summer.
Re: STDs stamped and ready to go!
for the STD I wanted something really fun and funky, and I decided on playing up the fun angle of Maryland Blue Crabs and Crab Steams - which are generally done by seasoning crabs with Old Bay Seasoning. I used images of maryland blue crabs and cans of Old Bay on the front, and on the back, next to the text content, I included a map with a star where the venue is, so people see how close we are going to be to the Inner Harbor/waterfront.
Here's an image of the can - it's got really fun, bright graphics, so I mimics this in our font and color choices on the text of the STD. We're getting custom stamps for these from zazzle, which will also have the Old Bay Can on them.
What do you think?
i have to order mine from VP.
