Wedding Wednesday {DIY Save-The-Dates}

Happy Wednesday Wednesday lovies! I'm so thrilled that I've finally decided on my save-the-dates and have them almost ready to go out!! With just 2 days shy of being 9 months away from my wedding date, it's about time!

A few months back I saw an awesome deal on Groupon for a custom embosser. I had no idea what an embosser was until I researched it some more and then decided I needed this for wedding stuff. While planning my save-the-dates, I knew I wanted to use the embosser I got customized for my fiance and I.

It was seriously super easy to assemble and find the items!

What you need:

4x6 photo prints of your save-the-date
(I designed mine using a free template on Wedding Chicks)
(I printed 100 photo cards on SnapFish for free, just paying for shipping)

Adhesive magnet roll
I found mine at Michaels & JoAnn Fabrics, the plus side...coupons galore!! I was able to get about 50 magnets from one roll.

Custom embosser
I bought mine from Groupon from 2712 Designs, great designs and quick shipping.

4x6 inch photo envelopes
Bought these from Office Depot, always double check online price with in-store price...they differ sometimes.

Sharpie ultra fine marker in Black
I love the fine point of this sharpie, I used this to handwrite the addresses on each envelope.

This was the custom embossing I stamped into each envelope flap. It turned out amazing and I'm so happy with how it looks!

Here's a close up of the save-the-date picture we went with. I'm so so so happy with how it looks and I think the picture goes perfectly with the whole look of what I wanted to go for. 

I cut the magnet roll into small strips and attached them onto the top middle of the back. The magnets are pretty strong and hold well. 

So there you have it, my DIY save-the-dates, honestly this was something so easy to do and cost less than $50 including shipping it out!! I'm no expert, but if you need any ideas or help on where to find stuff, ask me because I browsed around a ton of craft places looking for ideas.
