save the dates

hello everyone!

well, i have been thinking about what to do with our save the dates (or STD as I'll call it from now on). I have seen some amazingly cute magnets, stickers for calendars, and others that match the theme of the wedding. Being in jennie fashion though, i need to make it more interesting and thus more complicated. so this is what i'm thinking....

LUGGAGE TAGS!

I was thinking of doing luggage tags as a favor since people are coming from far away to celebrate with us, but i can't find any that i feel are nice enough to go with the ambience of the wedding i'm hoping to create. so i think it will be perfect for a STD, especially since then they can use it when they come!

here is my preliminary design so far:


the top image is of google maps of where the wedding will be, and in the blurb it says save the date and yada yada. the bottom image would be the back, which would have our guests' personal information so they don't have to fill out those dinky address strips AND it'll be colorful so their bags are easier to find. obviously not all of our guests will be michigan alumn, so i am thinking of making them relative to each person's university. but we'll see-- that might be too taxing. and i think i might do a softer yellow, even though that yellow epitomizes michigan, and put a navy blue border around the edge.

any input?
