Save-the-dates
This is our save-the-date. We used pictures we took using a tripod at the Minnehaha Falls. I designed them using Photoshop and ordered magnets and postcards free through Vistaprint.
Our 100% DIY Invites
So long story short... I procrastinated getting these stared. We had most of our materials and the design figured out. We were getting down to our absolute mail-out date, so Ryan and I sat down on a Friday night and worked on them until Sunday afternoon. They got mailed out the following day. Ryan was such a trooper!
These are 100% DIY; the design, printing, cutting (the champagne paper came in sheets of 2'x3 1/2'), the pocketfolds, and even the stamp (inspired by a stamp that was too small for what we needed) we're all done by me. They're not the most elaborate or expertly designed, but I'm proud of them.

The pocketfold process
Since our paper came in a very large size, we needed to cut them all down to size and score our lines. Here was each step:
Finally all printed, cut, and pocketfolds folded. Ready to glue and assemble!

The inserts. This is closer to the actual color.
ALL DONE! Just gotta stamp and stuff!
And away they go!
At the post office. We did it!
