Wedding My *on a really tight budget* DIY STD''s

[Lynnie]

STD''s sent out today!! WOO!!
And how does 81 cents apiece including shipping sound? WOO!

Here ya go:

I joined vistaprint''s newsletter, and got an amazing deal on the magnets. $7 for 50 of them, plus I got 144 free return address labels. So $12 and change for those, shipping included. Papersource A6 envelopes, 50 for $7.99, from ebay (free shipping). Cardstock leftover from a previous project, and I printed them at home.

I tried taking pictures, but they kept coming out blurry, then my camera died anyway. So I scanned them.

The card and envelope. The inside of the card says " We''re looking forward to sharing our special day with you. Love, L & T" IRL, the card is more of a deeper pink.

Those are so cute!! I can''t believe they are less than $1 each!

 

[pjean]

Wow. That''s an impressive deal. I''ll be making these at some point here, and since we''re spending FAR too much on artwork and font and stuff, I may use your thrifty suggestions.

Thanks, everyone! I sent them out yesterday. I''m gonna do my invitations myself too, and I''ll let you know how that goes...

Also just got some good news. My aunt has offered to make runners for the reception tables. YAY! I went to Michael''s today and picked up some ribbon as color samples. The reception venue has light pink walls, and when FI and I went there to drop a 2nd deposit down, they had it done up in bright pink and chocolate for a wedding that evening. It looked so amazing in there, that I decided to use bright pink as well. The tablecloths will be bright pink, and the runners will be a spring green.

Thanks again!
