Save-the-Date!

Today marks exactly 7 months until our wedding. It's hard to believe that when we got engaged it was 11 months away! As I sit here looking out at the 12" of snow in my yard, while relaxing on my 3rd storm day of the year, I'm beginning to get a little nervous about our June date. At this rate, I'll be teaching right up to (if not past) the big day. It's a good thing I've gotten a head start on a lot of my projects!

My latest "project on a budget" has been my save-the-date cards. Vistaprint will print 100 postcards for free! They try to sell you a million other things in the process, but if you stick to your guns they are free! It cost me $3.75 to add a picture and $6.00 for shipping.

My other area of savings is postage. Sending postcards eliminates the need to buy envelopes and saves $0.15 per stamp. For 100 save the dates, that's a savings of $15.  My next project is the invitations! Stay tuned!
