Here’s another sweet kraft paper save the date.  Vicky and her fiancé live in Brisbane, Australia but are planning a wedding in the English countryside, so they felt the need to send their save the dates well in advance of their fall 2012 wedding.  Vicky is a graphic designer and printed the save the dates herself on her trusty Gocco.
From Vicky: Â Being a graphic designer I have always had a passion for paper and typography so now I get to bring them together and start designing my own wedding stationery. Â As a British citizen currently living in Brisbane, we realised the need to send our save the dates as soon as possible to give people enough time to save up and arrange a trip to the other side of the globe. Â We will be married at home in the English countryside and we want everything to be simple and personal.
When it come to the design I wanted kraft paper and envelopes. Â I hand printed every single ‘save the date’ on my Print Gocco. Â I had so much fun and now I can not wait to get started on designing the invitations… no rush really as the wedding isn’t for another 15 months!
Thanks Vicky!

Lovely!
I agree, simple and personal is the only way to go sometimes, especially for something as personal as save-the-date cards. They look like they came out so crisp and bonus points for designing AND printing them yourself. I’ve always wanted a Gocco!
So simple yet so sweet.
i love that you included photos of the cards all together. i find that such a beautiful thing. when i make a lot of envelopes and paper all it once…i like to gather it together and take a picture or just stare at it…i imagine vicky might have felt the same way when she was done printing!
LOVE! I am a sucker for hearts:)
I am also a graphic designer who is starting to work on her wedding suite. I love the simplicity of these invites, but most of all I love the idea of using a Gocco! Do you have any idea where one can buy a gocco for a reasonable price these days?
Hey thanks for all the lovely comments, I got my gocco off ebay from Japan there were loads to choose from and it arrived within a week so I was very impressed.
