Save Our Date, Y?all
Engagement Photo Save the Dates
I?ll admit—there was a moment when I considered sending a digital (read: free) save the date. Of course, this was before I started viewing our budget as a winky-eye suggestion rather than a hard and fast limit (much to Benjamin?s chagrin).
Joking aside, Ben was actually the one who thought we should go with traditional paper for the STDs (LOL), as those would be our guests’ first encounter with our wedding. So I set out to find an option that was both beautiful and still reasonably priced.
Enter the Minted postcard! Benjamin and I cruised through the literally billions of postcard options on their website. This was fun but also difficult—since these go out so much earlier than everything else, we had to kind of guess at the style of paper we would be using throughout the rest of the wedding. We did know we wanted something classy and somewhat traditional, and we both really liked the postcard format. This is what we came up with (credit largely due to Ben):

I’m not usually a kissy-photo kind of person, but we agreed that this just seemed to work. We also loved the black and white with the gilded-style gold text on the front (although at the time we ordered, I didn’t realize a foil-pressed option was available. #REGRET). Either way, it definitely fit our color scheme/desired “feeling“!
And the other side:
