Save the Date Treat

I have seen so many save the dates it's not even funny. Postcards, magnets, photos, calendars, key chains, candles, you name it. You can bet how excited I was when I saw these cookies because it was a first for me!! The S.T.D cookies are such a fun and yummy way to tell your guests about your upcoming nuptials. Let's just hope they write it down before they eat it : )

Store-N-Style

While I attended License to Wed with Ivy Robinson back in February she told me about one of her friends Jennifer, she is an artist who makes wall art from invitations. I thought it was such a unique idea! I just found her card today and got on her site again and wanted to share it with you.


Jennifer applies the mementos of your life to a blank canvas and creates a completely unique work of art inspired by your important life moments.


Wedding invitations, anniversary cards, birth announcements- these are the things people often save in a box, out of sight and unable to be enjoyed. Jennifer will transform these and other tangible memories into striking art that can be hung on the wall and cherished day after day.
"My only real goal is to be known for helping others make their most spectacular moments last forever."

Custom Stamps

I remember waiting in line at the post office for 25 minutes waiting to get my stamps for my wedding. Once it was my turn I found out my choices were a cracked liberty bell and two old fashion gold bands. I thought really, these are my choices? They did have a cute wedding cake but that was the .61 cent stamp and I only needed .44 My point is you pay all this money to have an invitation you love and you shouldn't have to slap an ugly stamp on the cover. At usps.com you can create your own stamp! Use your favorite picture of you and your fiance, a custom logo of your initials, or your one of your engagement photos!

20 stamps per sheet. Small $17.95, medium $18.95, and large $19.95
