Save the date cards

Save the Date cards

Remember these? I’ve sent out almost all of them and I’m getting some awesome feedback, people love em! Thought you guys might want to see them up close. Here’s what the photobooth strip looks like:

Save the Date

Photos by the amazing Nicole and design by the fantastic Cassie, who is doing a ton of designery stuff for the wedding so I don’t drive myself insane. I like playing art director, ha. You guys like em?

Greatest idea EVER! they look really great.

I remember people doing stuff like this around the time of my wedding and they ended up looking cheap. Yours look amazing.

I'm a new vistor (found you when I searched for reviews for the latest Morrissey tour) but I had to tell you that a, this site rules. And b, those are the coolest wedding cards I have ever seen. Awesome.

Posted by: Ginger on 17 December, 2007

I was going to email you to tell you just how fabulous this is! :)

Posted by: Deva on 17 December, 2007

These are amazing and totally fun!

Posted by: Marianne on 17 December, 2007

I was going to call you today and tell you how awesome it looks. We have someone else's save the date on our fridge too and yours looks about 900x cooler.

they look awesome! Great idea!

Posted by: Bianca on 17 December, 2007

These are great and so full of humour! I love it when people don't take themselves and their wedding too seriously ;)

I'm not doing save the date cards for our wedding, there's no real need because our family are all within an hour or two of us.

Posted by: Natalie on 17 December, 2007

Those are really great - the photos are so fun, and the finished product looks awesome. :D

Posted by: Melissa on 17 December, 2007

They are sooo cool!

Posted by: Melisser on 17 December, 2007

How cute is that! Love it!

Posted by: Ms Polka on 17 December, 2007

Oh my goodness those came out so awesome. I may have to steal this idea from you...one day...maybe. ;)

Posted by: Marilyn on 17 December, 2007

Love Them!

This is an amazing Save The Date idea! We went away to the Bahamas :) Perhaps a one-year anniversary type thing with a photo on it. Hehe. Super cute!

Posted by: sarah on 17 December, 2007

love them even better up close! Best idea. Are you going to keep the theme for your wedding invitations?

Posted by: tiff on 18 December, 2007

Thanks everyone! We won't be using the photobooth theme for the invites but they will be super fun and colorful too. We may rent a photobooth for the reception though!

Posted by: Amber on 18 December, 2007

Those are really very awesome. It's making me want to get married!

Posted by: Karrey on 18 December, 2007

Posted by: Iris on 18 December, 2007

Those cards are awesome. If I ever get married I will have to remember those. Awesome date btw.

Amber...
As always, you ROCK, girl! Great pictures, great card...your wedding AND marriage are going to be soooo much fun.

Posted by: Lisa on 19 December, 2007

Ditto on all of the above...but I've to to go back to your archives...you guys are getting married! Congrats!

Posted by: Charmaine on 19 December, 2007

They look so great, Amber. I admit I got a sneak peak a couple of weeks ago, after I dropped by Cassie's house and she happened to be working on them. You and Jimmy seem like such a fun couple. The cards really evoke a fun loving and lighthearted feeling- good job!

Posted by: Marissa on 19 December, 2007

These are so cute! I love the colors!!

Posted by: Meredith on 19 December, 2007

They are over the top cute and original which makes them all the better.

Posted by: C on 20 December, 2007

These are stunning. I love the red and blue combo and the black background is a great choice.

I just stumbled upon your blog today. You definitely have a new subscriber. :)

Posted by: Kelly on 21 December, 2007

i love the 'the' frame. they look great, just like actual booth photos.

Posted by: Steve on 23 December, 2007

these are soooo yummy! I love them!!

Posted by: Carlene on 23 December, 2007

love them! i

anyway, great job on a unique take on the photobooth save-the-dates and non-cheesy b+w + random color pops(not an art director or photographer, so don't know the term).

these are SOOO awesome! if you don't mind me asking, how did you make them!?!?

Posted by: jjo on 26 December, 2007

A friend of ours took the photos. Then we picked the four we liked. Another friend put them together in the photobooth format in photoshop, and took the color out except for the letters. That's it!

Posted by: Amber on 26 December, 2007

I'm a new visitor, I stumbled upon your site by searching for info on Craft Mafia. I have to say, you completely inspire me!

These cards are so awesome! What is the black background made of?

Those are the most AMAZING save the date cards I've EVER seen (sorry for the caps, but I love fun stuff and unfortunately I seemed to miss out on the creativity boat :-S )

I'm not sure if It's something your friends do for fun or work... if for work... what are their general rates?

Posted by: Just Me on 31 December, 2007

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the save the date cards. Super kicky.

Posted by: sarah on 02 January, 2008

That is honestly the best "save the date" card, even invitation, I've ever seen. So cute!

Posted by: Elspeth on 03 January, 2008

SOOOO great, it's the most beautiful announcement ever!! (And that coming from a graphic designer myself! hehe)

Posted by: Janick - Creativadoration Blog on 08 January, 2008
