Nicole + Chris’s Watercolor Photo Save the Dates

It’s so fun to include an engagement photo on a wedding save the date – especially when done in a modern and refreshing way, like these save the dates from Alex of Goodheart Design!

From Alex: Over the past couple years, I have done tons of save the date styles that entailed lettering over an engagement photo and making it into a cute postcard or fold over card. This time I wanted to put a creative spin on it! I wanted to still include the engagement photo but I didn’t want it to be the main focus of the design or be printed on glossy photo paper. I loved the idea of each one being slightly different so I individually watercolored the front of each save the date! The front was gold foil printed on 110# Fluorescent Lettra paper and the back was digitally printed on the same paper and then duplexed together by Czar Press. I also really loved the idea of showcasing the lettering in two different mediums, gold foil and digital printing. Each one was placed in an off-white envelope and addressed in gold ink.

Happy Monday!

Hi again everyone! I’m so happy to be back after spending a few days in Salt Lake City for Alt Summer! I loved the more relaxed vibe of the summer conference and it was so nice to see so many old friends! A huge thanks to Brannon for holding down the fort while I was away – weren’t her posts awesome?!? Since I missed my weekly link round up last week, I thought we’d start the week off with a little round up of some favorites from last week!

Happy Weekend!

It’s GO TIME! Tomorrow I’ll be making my way up to New York for the National Stationery Show, which officially kicks off on Sunday! I can’t wait to share my booth recaps here, and you can also follow along on Instagram for some real time peeks at the show! I need every spare moment I can get for last minute preparations, so no weekend links this week – but be sure to check back later this afternoon for our weekly cocktail recipe!
