Save the Dates

I love damask patterns. There's no way around it... I love it. I wrap presents in it, I buy table runners in it, I put it on all my personal stuff (note the headline to this blog). I even used the damask wallpaper to cover the tile on my fireplace (I just used tape, it comes down easily), and it looks amazing! Maybe I'll post pictures sometime. :)

Anyway, so I clearly have a need to incorporate this into my wedding. It started with my DIY Save-The-Dates, which I LOVED. They were easy peasy to make -- all the things you need come in a box from the editors of BRIDES magazine, and can be found at your local Michael's store. I used the online template to type of what I wanted it to say, saved it on my thumb drive and set off for Kinko's. $4.40 later, my Save-The-Dates were printed.

I also am planning to use the coordinating BRIDES collection for my invitations. It comes with everything you need, as shown below!
