Saving the Date

We knew we had to have Save the Dates.  We will have lots of out of towners at our wedding, and we're far away.  It's a project I definitely thought I was capable of taking on myself, with a little help from a dear friend (who happens to be a graphic designer).  Jason really doesn't like STDs like this:

He thinks they're the lazy way out.  I kinda agree, although I still would like to do an engagement photo set sometime.   I was going through Martha's (we're on a first name basis, me and Martha) wedding website, and came across two STD ideas that Beau and I both liked:

We'd also been looking for a way to incorporate fortune cookies into the wedding...the moleskin journal Jason proposed with is from Etsy and looks like this:

So we sent all this over via a fb message to my girl Chris in Korea.  She's so creative!  Within a few days, she'd sent back "proofs."
Seriously cute.  We sent back some corrections, to include rounding the corners, as well as changing the color and fonts.  We ordered this stamp from Etsy as well (gosh I love that website), and want to use it throughout the wedding if we can.

She's using that as inspiration for the fonts and is working on the (hopefully) final product this weekend...I can't wait to see it!

Did you DIY your STDs?  (so many acronyms!!!!)  Where did you get your inspiration from?
