Instead of sending traditional save-the-date cards, they sent luggage tags to their guests for a practical and trendy alternative. <br /><br />How did they do it? This is how:<br /><br />- Found a nice picture and lightened it a bit so the black text would stand out<br />- Downloaded fonts from <a href="www.1001freefonts.com">www.1001freefonts.com</a><br />- Finalized the layout (front and back)<br />- Chose ribbon<br />- Ordered the color print + laminate job + cuts from a local print shop (<a href="http://www.sjblue.com/">San Jose Blue</a>)<br />- Cut the rounded corners themselves with a corner cut punch and punched the corner holes<br />- Measured and cut all the ribbons in advance<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.oahuwedding.com/uploaded_images/Melissa-and-Danny-luggage-tags-772646.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.oahuwedding.com/uploaded_images/Melissa-and-Danny-luggage-tags-771593.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.oahuwedding.com/uploaded_images/Close-up-of-luggage-tags-744754.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.oahuwedding.com/uploaded_images/Close-up-of-luggage-tags-743954.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />These save-the-dates are extremely versatile and cost-effective! Any picture, any mood can be created. All you need is a whole punch, a computer, and some creativity.OahuWeddinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13228123316793539425noreply@blogger.com
