Pencil Us In Save the Dates

There's something about sharpening a pencil that brings back memories of elementary school.  As a note, when I was in elementary school they were on the cusp of electric sharpeners but still had the mechanical ones. That's neither here nor there (no need to dwell on the fact that elementary school was two decades ago. Umm, ack!)


Anyway, pencils.  They're great! They foster creativity (that can be undone and then re-done)! And they make amazing save the dates:

Vintage Save the Dates

Nobody who knows me would ever say my style was vintage.  It's sort of a mish-mash of modern meets athletic meets preppy.  A combo of Charlotte and Sporty Spice.  That being said, I absolutely love black and white movies, sepia toned photos and really cool retro antiques.  So while I may never have a vintage wedding dress, these save the dates definitely make me want to kick it old school style:

A Save the Date to Remember

The front of our refrigerator is scattered with Save the Date cards. Every morning, as I grab my breakfast, I get to glimpse at beautiful designs, happy faces... and reminders that I have a very busy summer ahead!


My fiancee and I are going to have to start thinking about our own Save the Date cards that will soon be posted to someone else's refrigerator; so I have been scouring the internet and magazines and books for some ideas.


Here are a few of the colorful, creative and downright wacky designs that caught my eye:
