Coordinating AND Saving--

We have a bunch of brides trying to stay within a budget while still getting amazing Disney-themed invitations. And it really is possible! We just found an existing invitation that we have that coordinates nicely with the Save the Dates sent from Walt Disney World weddings. Here are the existing save the dates:

We went through all our books and found this invitation:

And we decided to "fix" it with an antique satin ribbon and custom seal. Since it already exists, it's fairy inexpensive compared to making it completely custom from scratch. When we engineed a way to customize it to add in Cinderella's coach and give it a really beautiful, custom look, we found a way to make it look like it cost three times more than it did while keeping licensing and base costs down:The final look was just beautiful and it coordinates so well with the Save the Dates. We were so happy, we wanted to share! I LOVE taking something that exists and making it look like something ridiculously expensive. Just like the editors of Real Simple when they teach you how to take a box of crackers, ketchup, fishing line and a lump of meat and turn it into a gourmet meal!
