Save the Dates
We have used www.VistaPrint.com for a few different stationary projects (We've Moved! notecards, Christmas cards, etc) and have been very happy with both the quality and prices. When it came to finding someone to print our Save the Date cards and magnets, VistaPrint was a no-brainer. As long as you are minimally decent with computers, this website is the way to go!
Magnets
We placed a "Save the Date" magnet in each envelope along with the notecard above. Since the majority of our friends and family will be traveling from out of state for our wedding, we decided to send these out much earlier than all of our timelines suggested. Our wedding isn't until May of next year, but given that it is on a holiday weekend (Memorial Day) we thought the extra time for planning and making arrangements would be a good idea.
Rehearsal Dinner / Welcome Dinner Invites
Vista Print again. We just love them!
We are having a casual BBQ for our rehearsal dinner. Since many of our guests are traveling a long distance to attend the wedding, we would like to spend as much time with them as we can throughout the weekend. We are inviting all of our out of town wedding guests to the BBQ on Friday evening. We will be placing a postcard sizze invitation inside each welcome bag, inviting our guests to join us for a cookout at the winery cottage.
We are so happy with how these postcard invites turned out (and $10 for 100 isn't too tough on the wallet).

Photo Sharing Cards
We will be jazzing these up a little bit, either with a stamp or sticker on the back or maybe a crystal sticker somewhere on the front. Simple, to the point, but a little plain for right now. We'll see how it goes. I will post pics if I make any changes.
Team Bride Newsletter
I sent one of these to each of my bridesmaids, my maid of honor, my mom and Kevin's mom. Since everyone is spread out all over the country, I thought it would be a good way for all the girls to get to know each other and keep everyone in the loop on all the wedding to-do's. I designed them on my computer and took them to a nearby Kinko's to have them printed on newsletter (folding) style paper. Super cute!
Finally... the invites!!!
Just a good 'ol DIY kit from Michaels.
We will be adding a white/silver-ish belly band with a monogram sticker.
Update- sent the invites and the replies are slowly rolling in. So excited!
