Save the Date.

Now to create some sort of unique, fun, whimsical and relatively cheap (or FH will start sweating) save the date cards. I've read in several places that your save the date cards are supposed to be less formal and speak of your (the couple's) personalities. As such, I've decided to make mine a craft project.

I want to use rubber stamps, as I think they're easy enough to use and are much more personal than anything you can create on a computer. I also want to include a date sticker that can be placed on the receipient's calendar (I think I originally saw this on Martha Stewart's wedding site). As for the text, I'm planning on writing some sort of poem. Cheesy, I know, but that's me.
I think I'll make them a bit more 'halloween-ie' than the rest of the paper products.

Here are the stamps I plan on using:


I've purchased the Save the Date stamp ($9 CDN) from Michael's and have ordered the Pumpkin Trail stamp from 1-2-3 stitch for only $7.64 US plus shipping. DEAL!

If I can find some suitable card stock for cheap, I should be able to knock these out of the park for less than $50 total.
