Wedding Wednesday: Save The Dates

Save the Dates were mailed out last week. YAY!! So they should have all been received by now, which means...it's time to share them on here. I decided to make DIY save the dates and they turned out so much better than I could have imagined! I saw the idea on Pinterest and fell in love with it. Here's the process I took to make our library card save the dates: 

*warning: Lots of pictures to follow!

First, I bought my supplies and found a free library card template online and used Adobe to add all the typing.

Then I printed out enough to make 80 of them (which I ended up messing up on quite a few and had to print a bunch more; luckily this step was simple!) I had to stamp the date beside each line and then I traced a heart around "Wedding" and went over it with a red permanent marker.

My date stamper didn't have "2012" so I had to write that in

Instead of making the pockets for these myself, I ordered blank red ones on Amazon. It saved time and they weren't really expensive. Once I got the pockets, I decided they were a little too plain for me, so I ordered a custom rubber stamp on Ebay and stamped them all.

Because no bride-to-be wants to return-address 80+ envelopes, I also ordered a custom address stamp on Ebay and stamped our return address on each envelope.

Now, all that was left was addressing them to each guest, sticking on the stamp and dropping them in the mail!

It was so much fun handcrafting each and every one of these. I'm so happy I decided to DIY our save the dates! Here's the finished product:
