I made these save-the-dates and I heart them.  Ready?  Let's go: I thrifted a couple of giant old atlas's at antique stores and cut liners for the envelopes out of them.  I ordered the stamps online--they were all vintage and there were a couple of different sets so not every envelope got the same stamps.  I liked that and think it added to the eclectic feel, even though no one else probably knew it.  I used a typewriter font to print the addresses when I  nearly dissolved in tears when I found out my actual typewriter couldn't hand the thickness of the envelopes.  (Hopefully Barack and Michelle are saving the weekend.)

Yay!  Hooray!  We won!  Okay, it's not like we ran a marathon or even accepted the Bachelor's final rose, but we're so thrilled to receive the Bride's Choice Awards for 2011 from WeddingWire!  It means we're in the top 5% of wedding professionals nationwide and more importantly, it means our brides (and grooms!) are happy with the work we do for them.  And we feel so lucky to be able to do it!  Looking forward to another fantastic year.
