STD's....the Good Kind!

As many of you already know, Save-the-Date (also referred to as STD's) magnets are an easy and creative way to announce your wedding date. They can also be a great way to introduce the tone and colors of your wedding.

When thinking about what information to include, keep in mind the size of your STD. It's best not to include an overwhelming amount of text. Your names, wedding date and website should be the limit. For those of you that need to provide more details, like Julia and Drew (left), a simple magnet holder can be used. I was asked to design this STD magnet for Julia and Drew incorporating their photo and wedding colors in a simple and elegant design.

A few more quick tips for Save-the-Dates:

• To save on postage be sure your final mailing piece is rectangle and larger than 3"x5".
• STD's are usually sent 4 months to 1 year prior to the wedding.
• They don't have to be a magent. They can be as simple as a postcard or sticker.
