Our DIY Ouija Save The Date
Continuing with our pseudo-Halloween/autumn theme we sat down awhile ago to ponder what exactly was the best way to do our save the dates. We brainstormed a couple ideas (punk rock flyer, leaves, little pumpkins) but nothing really stuck until we were discussing how it might be fun to incorporate Ouija boards into our centerpieces and my wonderful fiancé suggested we do Ouija Save the Date cards. I was so in love with the idea because while Ouija boards definitely fall into the spooky Halloween category the artwork on them is actually quite sophisticated and elegant. I set to work using some of my Photoshop skills to create a design. One side would be the Ouija board with all our info and on the other a sort of photocopy punk flyer-ish version of our favorite engagement photo. We printed them on a crème colored card stock and used a paper cutter to cut them to size.
Then we ordered Poppy colored 4 bar envelopes and Grape colored 4 bar envelope liners from Paper Source and address labels and purple seals from My Own Labels. Using a white pigment stamp pad and owl stamp I found in the dollar bin at Michaels (owls are a recoccuring theme in the wedding) we personalised the front of each envelope.
