An AWESOME Save the Date

I had a really great mail day yesterday! First day with no wedding RSVPs (to distract me from the 53 yes/71 no split,) a Vera Bradley catalog, Pottery Barn catalog, and an AMAZING save the date!

Check out the wrap-around label! I think the bigger label on the smaller envelope looked amazing.

The return address going vertically instead of horizontally also looked great.

ohmigosh. A save the date that has a bellyband. And is not a magnet or postcard. I freaked. I see why people do magnets and postcards (I obviously did that) but seeing a really nice STD like this was so exciting! A VELLUM BELLYBAND! I mean, come on.

I love how the fonts and colors were consistent throughout. These have so many elements to them! Mr Pug knows W, they went to IU together. K&W met at IU, and are getting married there, thus the "the journey continues where it all began."

The right side had a picture of them from their engagement pictures. It was really classy and nice... I was super impressed. I have only gotten like, two, maybe three save the dates in my life before this one. Seeing one that's so well thought out, "branded," and fun was really exciting. It almost makes me want to go back and do ours again!

Yea, almost. I'm already dreading our programs. But post-wedding I'm sure I'll be interested again!

What's the best save the date you've ever received?

    I have never actually received an STD for a wedding. Only invitations.

  4. Those are so fabulous!! Do you know if she made them herself? We've gotten a couple STD, but nothing as fabulous as that. Normally just a pretty cardstock in nice envelopes or magnet. We loved ours as it fit our wedding, but wow I feel super cheap now!

  5. Those are SO nice!! I'd love to get that in the mail. It seems like no one in my circle appreciates things like that. Make sure you tell your friend that you have tonnsss of readers drooling over her creativity!

  7. It's beautiful! I think I've only gotten one save the date, but it was super cute! It was a magnet but it looked like a ticket to a show or movie because they were getting married at a theatre. It was actually for my brother and SIL's wedding that I blogged about in November:

  10. That STD IS super nice! Love it! I also got the Vera Bradley catalog this week; love some of the new patterns...especially the turquoise one!

    PS Did you see the Valentine's Day cards on my blog - one is for you!

  11. They are really cute!

    P.s. I can't believe so many people can't come to your wedding. Is it a popular weekend?

  12. Those are so great. Really classy. But to me, that stuff is meant for the invite. I like having a less formal more fun magnet, post card, or stickers for your calendar like we did as a STD. I mean, where are you going to stick that card for 6 months until the big day rolls around? It'll get lost on a desk or in a drawer. I think your STD's were great! Don't have any regrets...
