The save the date, when folded up, was a 4" x 6" card (able to fit into a standard photo envelope for mailing). To hold the pieces that were folded in together, I created "save the date" stickers to be applied in the center. Also on the front, were male and female hiker graphics to represent Rhiannon and her fiancé, Brandon. The couple loves hiking together, and wanted to incorporate that into a fun save the date.
Once opened up...
...it revealed the date and place of the upcoming wedding on the left, their wedding website address on the right, and a picture of the adorable couple in the middle. :)
They wanted to use recycled paper for these, so I was able to find a 100% recycled heavy-duty brown construction paper to fit with the theme. I printed these on my wide format Epson photo printer, since they were 12" wide by 4" tall. For the stickers, I used Avery's glossy white 2" round labels, so it was easy to drop my design into their template for printing. I printed their photo on premium double-sided matte photo paper. These were then glued onto the brown paper in the center.
I was thrilled with how these super cute save the dates came together and happy that Rhiannon and her mother loved them, too! Best wishes to the future bride and groom!!
