save the date

so i spent my evening with a sketchbook, a pen, and calligraphy utensils and i just might have completed a save the date. there will be some tweaks here or there, but i think i like the concept; this one is quite rough (i sloppily cut it out and didn't even trim the thread) but i think i kind of like some of the roughness. i want it to come through that the wedding will be casual, intimate, homemade. critiques welcome.

  5. thank you guys so much! i am getting so excited about making all this stuff. stylefyles - if you know of any good caterers in connecticut (we're getting married near the mass border,) i'd LOVE to hear some recommendations. i really just want simple, homemade, local food, and finding good caterers seems impossible!

  6. I adore it! And the red dot stickers remind me of how they wrap your purchases at Anthropologie...
