Wedding Wednesday- Save the Dates

Posted on February 24th, 2016

Guys.  I have been SO excited to share this post with you.

Save the Dates are so important.  They’re an introduction to the whole wedding weekend, and set the tone for the whole event.  For some, it may even be the first time that they’re really focusing on the fact that we’re getting married.  By the time the invitations roll in, it’s old news, so I think these are almost more important!  So without further ado…

Simply perfect.  (Am I biased?  I’m biased.)  And even better in person, I swear!

I wrote about Nico & Lala a while back, and honestly when it came to picking a wedding designer I didn’t even think twice.  I have loved what these talented ladies have done for myself and for others for years, and I could not wait to have them translate my vision for my wedding.  I love all things paper products, so this is the one part of the wedding I am really wanting to micromanage!

These Save the Dates are only a small portion of what they’ll be doing for our big day, but wow.  I could not be more excited about how they turned out!  I think they’re a perfect reflection both of our wedding and of me.  Y’all know how much I love prints, so I picked two to incorporate into our vision– a toile (designed especially for us!) & stripes kind of vibe.  The die cut and envelope liner were also a big factor for me in making them pop.

I had seen a version of this sticker idea elsewhere, but I thought making stickers with our logo would be a perfect way to share out our fun website without cluttering up the actual save the date.  Selfishly, I am a planner person (#EmilyLey), so it’s so fun for me to have this in my calendar, too.  (Helpfully, several of our friends have also found use for them as accessories stuck to their face.)

Apparently they’ve been a huge hit– Nico & Lala said other brides are already asking for them, too!  I’m a trendsetter.  There’s a first time for everything.

We sent a whole mess of these, hand addressed, to our friends and family last week.  We’ve loved hearing their feedback on our vision… but what do you think??
