From the beginning I knew that I wanted simple, elegant save-the-dates. I also knew that I didn’t want to spend a lot of money, so I decided to make them myself. I brainstormed a lot of ways to incorporate gold (ribbons, glitter, etc.), but when I stumbled across these gold cards at Michaels, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
I’m finally getting around to sharing the rest of our wedding, and I’m so excited. In this post, I discussed my hunt for a dress, and now I’m sharing my wedding gown and accessories as well as everything our bridal party wore.

From the beginning, I knew that I wanted our formal invitations to match our gold save-the-dates. Like everything, I didn’t want to go over the top and spend $500+ on invites. I knew I wanted some type of foil or embossing, but everything I found was out of reach and way over budget.
