So we want to do something fun for our Save the Dates but not spend a crazy amount of time on it since we are both so busy (don't want to do a video or something like that.) Just a cool idea we can have printed. We are doing engagement photos in a few weeks so can definitely do something then. So, what did you do for yours? Or what are some cool ones you've seen?
Re: Tell me about your Save The Dates,...
We wanted to do magnets but the printed colors (I think we used magnetstreet, TBH I forget) of our design ended up looking really bad. (we ordered samples first)
So, we scrapped that idea and used Minted. The quality and the service was extraordinary. We didn't have time to order samples so it was a bit of a risk, I admit.
Although we took e-pics, we did not end up using them for the STDs because we found a really cute design that did not require one. Also, you work with a designer to make minor modifications / personalizations on the design you choose.
We ended up getting the "STD cards", which were a bit more expensive than a postcard but much less expensive than a magnet and the quality, I repeat, was out of this world.
ETA. more details
Our photographer designed ours. She had me pin different STDs I liked, and then created this based on it. I was really happy with them and got a bunch of compliments.
Here are the original mock-ups my photographer sent me. I don't have pics of the finished product, but at least you can see the design. We changed the location of some of the text, and removed the quote she put on there, added other text etc.
I'm the fuck out.
(Yes, it poured down rain the day we did our e-pics)
I just ordered and haven't received them yet so I can't speak to the print quality. We did a standard postcard to save money, and used one of the standard Vistaprint templates because I didn't have time to design anything fancy. FI is going all out on the website, though.
