Save the Dates: Check!

Phew. Man, was this a tough one for me. For a while there I wasn't sure if there'd even be any Save the Dates, let alone if I'd manage to get them in the mail before Halloween (joke). I kept rationalizing to myself reasons why it was okay that I was a full month behind schedule: They're not mandatory. Just a bonus really. And no one needs to "save the date" this early, right? I mean, can't I just send out a quick email? Pass along the word through the grapevine? Anyone? Bueller?

But alas, the wedding gods got to me once again, and I decided to try for one last push in order to check this task off my to-do list. I'm so glad that I persisted, because I feel so good about how these turned out!


So far, there's been only one minor glitch, and that was with the website listed on the cards (a technical error I haven't quite figured out yet, but something to do with the content not translating correctly between different web browsers). I took that faulty webpage down and will be working on it this week, and so look for a post in the next few days where I officially reveal our wedding website, glitch-free. (A way fun digital learning experience; can't wait to show you!)

Though these S-T-D's were homemade and originally concepted, I must give credit where credit is due. It takes a lot of moving parts to create something so seemingly simple, and an even greater endeavor to make it appear effortless, and for that I am oh so grateful to the following lovely people:

Photographer Clay F and his tripod
Location Fain Ranch, near Enchanted Rock
Designer Jessica W (bless you, dear woman)
Printer Tony M from CSI
Paper Mohawk Milkweed Antique Vellum
& French Speckletone Kraft Envelopes
(thanks to Jessica P from Clampitt Paper)

Couldn't have done it without you all; my most sincere thank you's! Who else could have brought on a spontaneous rendition of the happy dance outside the Speedway Post Office?

Save the Dates: big ol' CHECK! I guess this wedding's really happening, huh? A hundred something people just marked their calendars for October 30 and will be showing up at The Allan House expecting some semblance of a wedding. Guess there's no turning back now. We're just gonna have to go through with it. Clay, you still good? Here's hoping.
