The save the dates for your big day are the first peek into your wedding. Besides letting your guests know they are invited it shares where and when you chose to have your wedding. I feel they should always reflect the bride and groom and the theme or style of your event. If they are not cohesive with the formal invitation it gets a little confusing.

I have seen some, along with the invites, that didn’t go with the wedding at all and it just doesn’t make sense to me. I know not everyone is a designer, but that is why you have a designer create them for you. It’s just disappointing when nothing really goes together. It doesn’t have to be matchy matchy but it should all have the same feel. It just shows the event wasn’t planned right or the bride and groom don’t care much about details.

Well, here are the save the dates I created so far. You can find them all in my Etsy shop. I try to offer a variety of styles that appeal to everyone. There are more to come soon! You can always stay updated on new items in my shop by checking out my Pinterest board.

Stitched Up Details

I came across these items on one of my favorite blogs, Oh So Beautiful Paper, and had to share it. My love for sewn pieces and embroidery has grown so much throughout the years – from the time when I was looking for the multi-needle embroidery machine reviews myself to buy one, so when I see it used in a unique way, it truly makes me smile.

These next few examples really used this handmade accent in a beautiful way and truly were a success. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
