Monograms
Our monogram will be used on the invitation seals, the programs, and our favors. The scripty font is the ever popular Scriptina, and the block font is Sanford, both from dafont.com
Save the Dates
We officially ordered these as of May 18th. I really love how they turned out. Plus, hello?? $12 for 100 Save the Dates?!?!?!? Who doesn't love Vistaprint?? They were sent out on June 17th, and got lots of compliments. I used a black envelope, and a damask print wrap-around label.
Invitations
Enclosures
Yay for directions. When I did the first mock-up of the invites, this card said, "Personally, I would suggest driving until you get there. Then, once you're there, I would stop." I asked Jon if we could send out the invites with that wording included. He said no. No fun. I showed my maid of honor this site with the real directions, and she was also sad they were modified from their original wording. This is the largest enclosure, at 6.75".
The accommodation card will have the same information we included about the hotel blocks in the Save the Dates. We had two different hotels - one for $65.55/night and one for $85/night. This insert is 5.875" long.
Our response card is fairly straightforward. I've seen a lot of bios recently where the response cards are personalized for each guest, and I really like that idea so I am going to copy that. It will make it easier too since we decided to have multiple meal options for our guests.
Finally, the reception card. The baby, at 4.125".
The Programs
Pretty basic...1/2 are tied with the white ribbon, 1/2 are tied with black ribbon with the silver edging. Not pictured is the front inside cover, which has the standard "The marriage service uniting "bride" and "groom", Date, Location, and it also says who is officiating...the back inside cover has out in memory section, which lists my father and grandfather, and two of Jon's grandfathers and his grandmother, and it has our in appreciation quote, too.
Photo Sharing Cards
Printed using the ever popular VistaPrint. 250 free premium business cards, and free upload. Total paid: $5.67 for shipping. Woot. I'll end up buying small glass containers from Michael's and putting the same ribbon and buckle from the card box on the them. Then I'll fill the bottom with river rocks and stick a sign in with a dowel rod saying something like please take one. We'll put them on the table with the seating chart at the reception then stick any leftovers in thank you cards.
Table Numbers
These are just 4.5x6.5 and are mounted on 5x7 chili cardstock from Cards & Pockets. Can you tell I really love the little swirly floursh??
Guestbook Sign
Just something to put by the photo mat...you know, just in case. I don't want people to think it's just a pretty photo in a frame for decoration. It's mounted on chili cardstock just like the table numbers.
