<p>when designing save the dates with photos i am always trying to come up with ways to keep them interesting and very customized. i never want to fall in to the trap of designing a save the date like one you can just upload your photo to and hit order! those are definitely useful in their own right, but this is the beauty of being able to do custom work for my clients. it allows them to have something unique and that is truly representative of them.</p>
<p>angela and matthew are both musicians and are looking to carry a rockstar type theme throughout their wedding. based on that, and a sample of a concert add they sent me. this save the date was designed to look like a mini concert poster! it makes this save the date unique to their personalities and their event.</p>
<p>_____________________________</p>
<p>still need save the dates for you 2011 wedding? it&#8217;s not too late! not only is it  a great way to let people know about your upcoming event, but you can pass along important information like accommodations &#8211; especially important if you have out of town guests. <a href="mailto:christa@cdesignsandillustrations.com" target="_blank">contact me</a> for your own custom save the dates!</p>
