With summer weddings on the horizon, several of our Good Tastetm couples are using photo magnets for their Save-the-Date mailings. It's the perfect way to create a personalized invite, and at the same time, inform your guests of the upcoming celebration.
I created a one-of-a-kind collage for our sweet couple (Wiggs and Dave). High resolution photos were laser printed in black & white onto card stock and then tinted with colored pencils. Wiggs provided us with some favorite fabrics (gray & yellow, her wedding colors) that were torn and sewn, together with the photos, ribbon, and typeset text to a base card. A little blue bird (rubber stamp) cavorts across the art and adds a touch of whimsy. The collage was scanned and sized and multiple copies were printed on matt photo paper and then adhered to adhesive-backed magnets.
The finished magnets were sandwiched in a yellow text-weight card - embellished with the little bird and "save the date." A lovely silver envelope (return address printed on the flap) and yellow/gray 59¢ heart stamps completed the look. Hand-addressing (a must for any invitation) was done with black a gel pen.
