SAVE THE DATE!

Who: the cute couple in the picture
What: our wedding!
When: May 28, 2005
Where: Long Island, New York
How: with all our favorite people
(this means YOU!!)

For more info, visit www.gregandalexwedding.com

hmm... guess i have to work on the website before sending these out

ETA: what do you think? labels or handwritten addresses? i have nice handwriting, but would labels just look neater?

LOVE them!

We sent ours with labels in a pretty font - it just looked nicer to us than handwritten and wasn't hard to do. JMO

Re: My Save the Dates! and Question: labels or handwritten addresses?

they are so cute!

for our eparty we just printed them out on the computer.. FH and i both have ugly handwriting plus we had a design on the envelope that we were printing on there already.

for my sisters STD she just handwrote all of them.

since you have nice handwriting, i'd say do whichever is easier for you

Re: My Save the Dates! and Question: labels or handwritten addresses?

I dont like handwritten or labels.
I think it looks nicer printed out directley on the envelope from the printer.

They are great! We printed out labels in a nice font for our STDs, so I would say that would be ok.

Adorable! I like the idea of labels, or printing right onto the envelope

Re: My Save the Dates! and Question: labels or handwritten addresses?

I'd say go for labels... or printing the envelopes. It's definitely nicer.

I dont like handwritten or labels.
I think it looks nicer printed out direction on the envelope from the printer.

This is what we did. I used Lucida Script and it came out perfectly.

Re: My Save the Dates! and Question: labels or handwritten addresses?

I got clear labels and used Copperplate as my font..

The clear labels really disappear once you apply them to the envelope-- it is much easier than loading the printer and I also did not want to ruin any of my custom printed envelopes.

You get the labels at Staples- make sure you buy the kind for your printer- ink jet or laser.
