Wedding planning can be expensive and Dennis and I are determined to save money wherever we can during the planning. We only want to make our wedding beautiful and cut costs by doing what we can on our own. So the first project we tackled together...the save-the-date.
Save-the-dates can get pretty pricy depending on the how professional you want them to be plus the cost of engagement photos if you are doing a picture. With Pinterest, there are so many ideas for save-the-dates that I knew I could find a design that I liked and try it out, which I did.
In my opinion, engagement photos are a waste of money. I would rather save some money and use it later on for wedding photos, which will get more use. Dennis got me a new Nikon camera for Christmas, so I set it up on a tri-pod and took the pictures at three different sites myself.
We never have off at the same time, so when we did this week we decided to utilize that time wisely and take the photos. Since our wedding isn't until October, they don't need to be sent until March but I didn't want to wait and then not have time to do it.
Last night, I was bored and decided to play around in Publisher. I created a save-the-date that we both like, which is key. It wasn't hard either and I just inserted the photos that I edited from our DIY engagement session. It still needs some edits but come March it will be ready to go.
No pictures of the save-the-date yet. I don't want to spoil the surprise for anyone. You can have one picture tho. I'll post the rest later.
