I really wanted to get engagement pictures done before we sent STDs, but my FH just found out his coworker will be out on FMLA for 2-6 months starting in two weeks. FH will likely be working 6 days a week until he gets back, and he normally works close to 60 hours per week so I wouldn't be surprised...
I really wanted to get engagement pictures done before we sent STDs, but my FH just found out his coworker will be out on FMLA for 2-6 months starting in two weeks. FH will likely be working 6 days a week until he gets back, and he normally works close to 60 hours per week so I wouldn't be surprised if he is working 75+ through the holidays. Since he works nights and weekends it's already difficult to schedule things, and I really don't want to schedule and cancel last minute on our photographer because he is giving us the engagement session for free. All of our guests are traveling at minimum 2 hours to the venue and need overnight accommodations, so I want to make sure to get STDs out at least 10 months in advance. I started looking at STDs without pictures as a back-up plan and I found one I LOVED on Etsy, but it is over $125 for 50 which is WAY out of budget. I decided to play around with making my own, and I'm still thinking I might do a painting I just didn't have the energy to dig everything out tonight. We are having a celestial/night under the stars theme, so I decided to go with constellations. This is what I came up with, what do you think?

    Make sure to include “Formal invitation to follow.” People will think this is your invitation are start calling and texting with questions.
    You can do your own design and have them printed by Zazzle. They have 50% off sales around once a month or so. Really great deal! They include matching envelopes.
    As for photos... look through some favorite memories on your cell phone. Pick a photo of you two and have 3.5x5 prints made locally. Include one in the envelopes with your STD cards. 😊

    I think it's perfect. Our save the dates don't have photos either. I just liked the floral pattern better

    I was mocking up ones on Minted and Shutterfly last night and that's why I thought to add it. I hadn't before. I would put it on the back. They have language you can steal that may be helpful.
