Invitations

This original Post can be found at Bloggerbrides.

When I last posted, I was having trouble finding the right invitations and the ones I did love were a little bit over budget. So I decided to look into the DIY approach.

Well, just yesterday, my fiance and I got back to our house and a sample of the  invitations were in the mail. I thought they were pretty online, but in person they are 1o times better! I fell in LOVE with them. Luckily, my parents met us in Savannah for dinner last night and I showed my mom and she agrees! Although they are a little over the budget, I have saved PLENTY in other areas that we can afford them!

So here they are!:

They are from InvitationConsultants.com. The names at the top will have a & sign instead of the monogram, because I believe it’s bad luck to use the monogram until after the ceremony (just one of my nip-picky things).

These invitations have also inspired me to use  gold throughout my wedding as the trim of the inside is a thin gold band.  I am so excited about these and can’t wait to order them.

In the mean time, since my wedding is still 8 months away, I will be ordering Save the Dates first. I have also found these and will be ordering within the next week.

I knew I wanted to use an engagement picture on my Save the Date magnets, but after getting our pictures back, I can’t choose just one!

So I found these magnets from agiftfulheart.com

I love that I can use 4 photos and also put our wedding site on there. The background will be navy with white writing and possibly gold accent?

However, now I have to choose four of our engagement pictures. Here are the candidates:

Which ones do you think I should use? Has anyone else done save the dates with multiple pictures?
