I'm a sucker for paper. Shannon and I share a love of the heft and texture and colors of a well-crafted paper product. As a (very recently!) engaged woman (woohoo!), I find my mouse zooming not over to Vera Wang, but rather to Hello Lucky! and other fine paper establishments. My heart is aflutter looking at all of the beautiful paper products they offer.
I'm particularly smitten with the Heartland suite in Bluebell, Chocolate & Lucky Red.
Look how sweet that little ranch house is! Here it is a little bit closer-up.
My swooning continued for a while until, as usual, my heart skiped a beat when I saw the price.
For 150 Save the Dates, the cost is $1.77 each (before postage), for a total of $265.00.
Hmm, considering that there are invitations and reply cards and food to consider, this just seems a bit steep to me.
Thus, we are contemplating a little DIY for the Save the Dates. The drawing that I adore is pretty simple and my meager artistic skills might be up to the challenge of emulating the spirit of the graphic. I would draw the scene and then we would get it copied onto postcards to be sent out. Here is a quick first draft of what I'm thinking.
Please ignore my inability to follow the curvy line on the right side. That'll get worked out in a future draft. I hope.
So what do you think? Are hand-made Save the Dates cute or cheesy? Home-spun and charming or tacky? Leave your answer in the comments section below.
Enjoy the crisp weekend!
