Save the date idea

Combine your engagement session and this fun save the date idea using one of my all time favortire games, Scrabble! Spell out the date of your wedding on the board, print other info on the back and send out these photo cards as your official Save the dates. Also could be used as thank you card. Phot stolen from Merci, great site with tons of good ideas.

Details, Details!

I once saw an idea in some wedding magazine where the valet parkers hung “Thanks for coming” signs from every car’s rear view mirror, with the bride and grooms new names and wedding date. It was tied with satin ribbon that coordinated with the wedding day colors of course. I wanted to do this at my own wedding but couldn’t afford to have them printed at the stationary shop and could not make them myself, so I forgot the idea. Years later, I found this great website that actually makes these little signs (they are coasters-see the last pictue) and tons more of those little detailed things you see in magazines but can’t figure out where to buy or make. Anything from wooden stirrers to sweets bags, they customize it all. Check out For Your Party for lots of great ideas at affordable prices.
