Our monogram... One of them.
I'm indecisive. Oh well. Here's one of the monograms that I've come up with... I'm sure I'll be adding more though. We'll be using it for our favors, for our seals for the invitations, I'm attempting to have it made into a stamp for our coasters for the after party... (yes, after party) and we'll definitely have it on our programs somewhere. The next one is the one I'm in love with, but he's not so sure on the font of the names. We'll see.
Our Save the Dates
So, after three different designs, and a ton of scoping out Vistaprint... THIS is the final save the date! Woo hoo! The magnets were from Vistaprint... they cost me a total of 25.00 for 50 magnets, and the envelopes and cardstock card packet was $3.50 for a 50 pack from Joann's with a 40% off coupon. :) The word 'love' is embossed on every card, and the magnets are(will be) stuck to the cardstock with removable sticky dots. The envelopes, (which I couldn't put a picture on, because they have everyone's actual address & info on) have the same kind of style, with the larger last name, smaller first name and address on top. I'm pretty proud of them. Took me a total of 1 hr to do everything.
We're kinda sticking with this as our theme. 'All because two people fell in love'. Not because of the signs that everyone sees now, but because we both love the Brad Paisley song, and it has a lot of meaning to both of us.
Invitations!
Call me crazy, but I'm DIY-ing them. Completely. I may send them out to get them printed so the lines are more crisp, but I just did all of the pocket folds for the invites. Thank God I had some leftover cardstock to goof off with. Anyway, it was fun. I did 45 of them... 20 left to go. I also finished the response cards- they're already printed and stuffed in the envelopes. Oh! Speaking of envelopes, I lined all of the large envelopes- wrapping paper from walmart! :) Cost me $1.50. Total. :)
Photosharing cards
I'll be tucking these in to the thank you cards when I send them out. The sticker will go on the back to cover the vistaprint logo. Oh, did I mention that I got 250 of these, and 140 labels for free? Teehee.

The programs
We're both active members in our local Moose lodge, and wanted to pay homage to it. I used a simple moose stamp, with brown ink and a bronze embossing powder to put a single moose on the bottom of the program. It's a 9 page program, (which seems long, I know.) so it's got a ribbon holding it all together. :)
The guest 'book'.
Instead of a guest book, that we'll only look at once every ten years, I opted to do a calendar instead. This way, we'll at least look at it for the next twelve months...
Plus, I like to remember everyone's birthdays. This helps a lot. (Because not everyone invited has Facebook to remind me...)
What they'll do is sign on their birthday. If they'd like to leave us a note, they can do that around the picture.
