Save the Date on the Cheap

[odie1969]

Well after 9+ years of dating Me and the Lady are getting ready to tie the knot and make her a honest lady. But as I'm sure most of you know wedding get super pricey quick. So I thought that for the Save the Date Mag. I would try to make them up my self. So this is the final one. She gave the final go ahead. So the final price will be around 20-40 dollars for the 50+. SO I feel this is pretty good for my first time playing with photoshop. Let me know if you guys have any Ideas to help better this.

Hey looks good-my little sister did her own save the date's and they didn't turn nearly as nice as yours....

Not too shabby. We didn't do the save-the-date thing (getting married on 3-21-09).

Good luck with your wedding.

A little advice:
1. Always agree on what she wants.
2. Remember, the wedding is NOT about you, but about your bride.
3. Pick a budget and stick with it (our budget was $5,000 not counting the honeymoon. We stuck it to $5,500).
4. Pick your bridal party early. The earlier you pick, the better chance you have of getting everyone fitted for their tux on time.
5. Pick your colors and stick with them.
6. You don't have to feed everybody a sit down dinner at the reception. It is way overpriced for catering.

Two things to remember 1. Youre an asshole and 2. Youre never, ever, right.

And just hope you dont get some jerk doing this to you:

Some advice I was given on my wedding day:

Happy wife=Happy life. Simple.

If you're ever having problems in your relationship and don't know what the problem is, just look in the mirror, there's the problem.

Tell her she's beautiful everyday.

I already have one and two pretty much down. that is why I made 5 diff. versions of the save the date.
And about the budget She is her mothers only child, and daddy is a doc. So needless to say the budget went alittle overboard so I'm really trying to keep the damages to a min. The bridal party is done and done. and now the best part of it all, The colors are FORD royal blue and Silver, I had to get a little ford in it somehow.

Haha! Congrats man. Looks good! Today is my wife and my second wedding anniversary. I honestly don't even remember if we did save the dates. Haha! I let her pick everything and only gave my input when it was asked of me. lol.

And don't forget... The man should ALWAYS get the last words in any argument....






"Yes dear".

Well I just Finished up the whole project. and I found the thought of 30 dollars was quite the over shot. My final price of .20 a piece for a whopping 10.00 for the whole shhbang. Kinko's was .59 a sheet of color print and I headed over to dollar tree and found the sticker MAG. for a whopping dollar. So not suck a bad deal IMO.
