Stressing a little about save the dates
Hi! We're getting married on 9/26/15. I wanted to send my STD's out in January, as FI's fam are all OOT. I'm still waiting on the final design so I can then upload it to Vistaprint and order our magnets. Things have just been crazy with the holiday's and I feel like I'm falling behind. I'm also reasoning that STD's are not even a "neccessary" thing, so they'll go out when they go out, right?
Where is everyone else at w their STD's?

Love that we're date triplets!
I am feeling slightly less stressted about the STD's. We got our final design back last night and FI and I both love it. We just need to upload it to Vistaprint and order them! Hopefully we will order them before we go to NJ to see FI's family for Xmas. When we get back we can address them and send them out.
I debated on getting STD's at first. But I found a killer deal on Vistaprint for magnets and it was a great way to show off our awesome engagement photos!! Planning on sending them some time next month!
You still have time! Don't stress and get to them when you get to them!
Nicolie-I just ordered the STD magnets from Vistaprint yesterday! They will be delivered by 12/30, so I'll be able to get them out in January.
From what I've read on other boards, it's "better" to hand address the envelopes. We're sending out around 90, so hand addressing them will be a wknd project. I need to practice my handwriting, it is terrible!
We have a return address stamp that I will use on the back flap.
Hooray! Our STD's arrived in the mail yesterday! We love them and are very happy w the quality (thank God, bc I didn't want to get stuck w 100 of them!)
Going to tackle hand addressing them ths weekend. We should be able to get all 86 done over the weekend and New Year's Day.
I ordered the calendar magnets from Vista Print. For 100 magnets + 100 envelopes (which you have to order seperately), I spent $98. I had a code for free 8 day shipping. Really happy with the final product and would highly recommend.
We're sending out 86 STD's, so we have some extra envelopes for "mess ups," but I'd recommend ordering extra if you're sending out the exact amount you're buying.
I started my side of invites yesterday, and I already messed up on 2 of the envelopes, so 'm glad we had some extra!
WOW! Loving all of thse other 9/26'ers!
STD's have all been mailed out and received and I got a lot of compliments on them. Now, I'm in the beginning stages of researching invitations. There are SO many choices, it's overwhelming.
nessiemmmkay that stinks! I didn't have any issues w VP.
@tj&cw that is awesome. Yes, $40, is totally worth it IMO too. I hate my handwriting, but I wrote out all of ous (and used a stamp with our first names on it, on the back of the envelope for return address) FI actually threw out the one I addressed for his parents and wrote it himself, he was so horrified by my hand writing! LOL In my defense, it wasn't THAT bad, but knowing his Mom, she def would've made a snark about it.
