You might be wondering what kind of STD could be "for the win"...well Save The Dates of course! Over the course of our engagement we went from thinking STDs were totally unnecessary to omg we have to have them and the have to be
perfect.
We tried
Wedding Paper Divas as suggested by, well, everyone. There were several options for vintage inspired STDs but nothing that really struck us as being the "one." At least they weren't close enough to justify the price for 75 magnets. Here is one that we almost went with:

I was pretty adamant about our picture being either black and white or sepia toned. Unfortunately this was not an option on
Wedding Paper Divas and I do not trust my photoshop skills for items that I plan on cherishing forever.
In an act that seemed like desperation at the time but now seems like the obvious answer, I reached out to the photographer who did our wedding. Lisa at
Illuminate Photography is an exceptionally creative person and her style of photography and graphic design is right up my ally. She was elated to design our STDs. After presenting me with a couple of options we agreed on this amazeballs STD:

We were so excited to see one of our favorites from our engagement pictures in black and white. I just love the vintage style type and am a total sucker for scrollies. The lavender lettering really stands out but isn't all in yo face. We were thrilled to send these beauties to 75 of our closest friends and family members. I hope to keep the one we have left over on our fridge for decades to come. Even in the most stressful moments of wedding planning, when I wanted to say "screw it, let's elope," I could look at one of these lovelies and rekindle my excitement.
