A little wedding money-saving tip to start your Thursday…
For our save-the-date cards, Kendrick and I picked up a ton of inexpensive postcards (like the one pictured above) from the town where we were getting married (Ogunquit, ME). You can also scour eBay for vintage postcards of your locale – they’re often sold in bulk.
We then went to a custom stamp-making store and for $25 created a stamp with our names, the date of the wedding, and the location of the wedding…all in my handwriting, which I thought was a nice, personal touch. We stamped each postcard with the info, and sent them out. Super-easy, and super-inexpensive.
Some custom-stamp websites are here, here, and here.
Reader Chelsea from Australia wrote in with a great idea: for her own wedding, she attached small magnets (which can be purchased at any craft store) to the back of the save-the-dates. This not only makes it easier for your guests to affix your save-the-date to the refrigerator, but also increases the likelihood that it’ll stay where it is long after the wedding, serving as a lovely reminder of your day.
