March 31, 2010 - This blog post has an STD

For those of you unfamiliar with the term, STDs (Save the Dates) are something you send out to everyone you are going to invite to your wedding. But they are not invitations! They simply let everyone know when your wedding will be. It’s kind of an early warning signal for your guests to prepare their excuses for not coming.

For ours, I wanted to use a photo of us together and Rob agreed to using a shot from our Doctor Who photo shoot (see the rest here!). The photo is by my Wedding Captain, Kyle Johnsen. It was designed by me and printed on a 4x6 magnet by overnightprints.com. We were lucky and found some envelopes that matched our color scheme (We are using black, white, and silver mostly) on clearance at Target. I then got our address labels printed with a cute little spaceship on them (are you sensing the sci-fi influence yet?) and some silver star stickers to finish them.

So there you have it, the first photo of anything wedding related I’ve posted. And there really won’t be much else until the invitations go out. But I’m sure I’ll have plenty to post about otherwise.
