Spread the emails....

Ever since I started planning my wedding, I've been reading left and right to know what should or should not be done. The first thing that caught my attention was save-the-dates. I had been reading so much about them, but to be honest I had no idea what they were - mostly because it isn't something very popular with the frenchies (us french speaking ladies) I know the term itself is quite explanatory... but still.

After analizing the whole idea I wasn't sure it was the best thing or us. Not only did we not have any many out of town guests, but it was just an extra cost that for me wasn't necessary. Oh and not to mention that cutting on the STD was being eco-friendly. SAVE the earth one paper at a time :). I decided you use my design talents and make an e-save-the-date and spread the word via email.

Here is an example of my save-the-date. Its nothing very spectacular, and my colors changed 5 times after that. But it got the message across... I hope ;)


I thought I would share with you (awesome weddingbee readers) some tips if you are planning on doing your own save-the-dates.

First off the background design of my STDs is nothing more than some scrapbooking paper. What's great is that there are some really neat Digital Scrapbooking websites with awesome print and embellishments which make for some interesting e-vites. Here are some of the websites I visit for neat ideas. (click on the images to visit their website)




Basically if you have a design program; Photoshop, Indesign or Illustrator you can make your invite very easily. All you need is your imagination. If ever you have any questions give me a shout out!!!
Am I the only one that decided to spread the word via email? What did you do?
