Save the Dates ... done!

Jon and I finished assembling the save the dates early so we sent them out early. We had set the goal of mailing them on the 30th of June - but we were able to get them into the mail on the 27th instead! Here is a picture of the completed attachment card and magnet along with some of the envelopes:




And here is a photo of the chalkboard monogram that we had created as a sticker to seal the envelopes:



And, finally, here is Jon putting all the envelopes into the drop box at the Elk Grove post office!



Here is a close up of the font I used to print the addresses on the envelopes:



They turned out pretty good! The font on the actual magnet could have been a little bolder, but all in all ... for under $100 for 70 of them, I'm not going to complain! And, they really didn't take that long to put together. The hardest part was printing the address on the envelopes. Once that was completed, it only took us about an hour to attach the magnet to the card, stuff the envelope and add the monogram sticker and return address label ... then we were off to the post office! DIY project #1 ... complete! Now it's on to many more DIY projects ... yikes! Good thing its the summer and Jon has more "free" time to help me :)
