Well, I turned to the Bee of course, and looked at other Save the Dates, and realized the solution was small. Mini, even. Have you guessed yet? No? How about a joke then,
E: Knock, Knock.
Hive: Who's there?
E: Interrupting Cow.
Hive: Interrupting co---

MOO! |
Did ya guess yet?? If you said Moo, you're right! Like many bees before me, I jumped on the Mini Moo bandwagon, and solved our problems all at once. I used 5 pictures from our engagement and on the back printed our names, wedding date, and our correct wedding website.
It just didn't seem like enough though. Now that our Save the Dates were turning into a suite, I needed to add more. I loved the calendar stickers, and while on MOO's website, fell in love with their stickers. Another great deal and a week later, these bad boys were in my possession:
Now how will people know to put these on their calendars? When I showed them to MOH Di, she thought they should be used as envelope seals. And then Mr. Ly thought that, too. So then, how to convince them and everyone else that these belong on their calendars? Tell them straight out:
Nice paper, a clean design, and clear instructions. It cost pennies to make these (and I could make six on a page!) This was the final piece of our Save the Date suite, but I still needed to figure out how to wrap it and package it.
First, how to wrap it up.
I looked at ribbon. I thought about making belly bands. And then I found scrapbooking tape. It's cute, polka dot tape and it holds everything together - perfectly.

So how does it look all pieced together?
But wait. There's more. We have to mail them still - I ordered these envelopes off of Vistaprint using a recent Groupon.
The back of our Save the Date envelopes. |
So that is our entire Save the Date package, wrapped up neatly in polka dots and our personalized envelopes! Now, to address them...
Did anyone else turn multiple ideas in one big idea? Would you know to unwrap the tape? (spoiler alert: some of our guests - including my own mother - did not.)
