We went to visit FI's family for Thanksgiving this past weekend and these were hanging on everyone's refrigerators...gave me the warm fuzzies! Totally forgot to share them with you all before sending them out...shame on me! :nono:

Anyway, we did 4x6 postcards through mpix.com. They have a design program on the website which is pretty fun to play with and had everything I needed to make these postcards, but it's not extensive. My only real beef is that you can't actually save your creation (at least not that I could find) and your session expires after sitting idle for awhile...so if you need to play around a bit, take a screenshot to remember what you had already done, write down which images you used, etc. We had them printed on pearlescent card stock which gives the postcard a nice sheen and really made the text on the back "pop"!

Our colors are black and white damask with amethyst and kelly green...our invites will be mostly black and white, so I wanted our Save the Dates to bring some color to the party!

Yeah! So happy you shared! I really love the 3-photo layout - easy with such beautiful and loving photos of you two!

(also, I can't believe your wedding is after mine and you're so far ahead of me! :knockout: )

Thanks, SB! You posting yours reminded me I hadn't shared mine yet! And our weddings aren't *that* far apart. :D I think I mailed ours about 2 weeks ago. I just wanted to make sure I got them out before I started sending Christmas cards! My hand can only take so much addressing!

What beautiful photos!

We sent our save the dates out a few weeks ago for our 5-15-2011 wedding. Doesn't it make everything feel more real?! Congrats on checking something off your to-do list! :appl:
