I finally finished making our save-the-dates! It was easy making them except writing the addresses. I'm not good at calligraphy so I decided to just use my own everyday handwriting. I saved by writing the addresses myself, using coverstock that I already have and printing the save-the-dates in my home printer.
Keeping up with the theme of the wedding, I used knots and sailboat images. I'm sorry I forgot to take a photo of the back which has the travel info. The vellum wraps around the save-the-date covering both the front and back.
Overall, I spent a little more than $20 for 25 of these save-the-dates:
7 coverstock 8.5x11 = free (I have in stock)
13 vellum 8.5x11 = $10.50 (50 pack)
41' knot = $3.77
25 envelopes = $6.25
TOTAL = $20.52 + tax
