"Map" the Date

Today, we shipped out Kate and Brady's awesome save the dates! This is a new design that was based on the Kate's idea of using a map of the area where they are getting married on the save the date. The actual card is a white pearl square with their names, save the date and date on the front -- accommodations information are provided on the back. The fun part is the vellum band that wraps around the save the date. In order to create the map, I got a crash course in the roads in and around Millbrook, NY, using Kate's guidance, along with google! In addition to the roads, I included some of the key venues for the wedding weekend. And, when the vellum band goes around the card, SAVE THE DATE shows through the map...too cute! Enjoy!

  2. I love this idea! And your map is great! What program did you use to creat it? I got married last year and hand drew a map for our invitations. Now I'm working on a few invitations for friends and I think they might want a more polished look! I love your designs keep up the great work!

  3. Thanks for loving the "Map" the Date post! Actually, I use Illustrator for my designs, but I think you could use Word or Publisher and using lines and adjusting the "edit points" to make the lines look like roads! :) Or, let me know and we can do it for you. Take Care!
