Wedding Wednesday: Save the Dates!

When I began to look at Save the Dates, I had a few details in mind that I knew I wanted. I wanted it to be a postcard because duh, postage is cheaper and every little penny counts in wedding planning, and I wanted it to have one of our engagement pictures on it.

Here are a few that were in the running:
Etsy
Wedding Paper Divas

Etsy
Etsy

Classic styles that I was also drawn to:

Since I sent the Save the Dates out last Friday and everyone should have received theirs by now, I can share the one we wound up choosing! Drumroll please............
Wedding Paper Divas
Snippet of the back:

Rather than writing the return address on each postcard, I ordered a self inking stamp from this Etsy store!

I was really happy with my experience with Wedding Paper Divas. Their response and shipping times were super fast! WPD is always running some kind of special so I waited for the right time to order and scored a 20% off coupon code!

    they are so cute! We sent magnets for save the dates and they were so expensive to mail cause of their weight! I did send christmas cards out last year as postcards and it was the best decision ever!!
    They are adorable! I used to live in Charleston by patriots point! I miss it everday

    Very cute! I wanted to do postcards as well, and am wondering if you noticed they got messed up during mailing? We received a postcard STD and it was all torn up, which is what I'm afraid of!

    How exciting to have your save the dates sent! My matron of honor just graduated with a graphic design major so she is designing my paper materials for the wedding and I'm in turn helping her start her business. I cannot wait to see what she comes up with, but I am also doing a postcard.

    I love them! They look fantastic!! Thanks for sharing! We ended up doing photo magnets and were pleased with our results. I never shared mine...I should do that sometime. I think you made a great choice!

    Self inking stamps are definitely the answer
    The save you a lot of repetitive writing.
