Letterpress map postcards (not boring, gorgeous)

I died when I opened this envelope.  It just wasn't what I expected and instantly I wanted to be there.  Pretty much, that is the reaction you want your invited guests to have when you're letting them know about your destination wedding.

Every face of this piece is detailed- envelope included

But this- this is what made this particular postcard blog worthy:

 Talk about every detail. I love it.

Save the date a different way, t-shirts

Honestly, I think I might just squeal a bit if I got this in the mail.  Then I would promptly head to Kayak and book my flight.

Save the date t-shirt for Captiva Island

You can expect to spend about $8-$15 a t-shirt, depending on the quality, style and screen printing design.  I like to order from Skyline Outfitters because they have low minimums and, well, they're our really nice plaza neighbors.

Melissa and I popped into their shop to see what they had and I also liked the idea of the groomsmens swim trunks and bridesmaids bikinis (cute welcome bag additions!).  Both of which can be embroidered.

Of course, then you have to wrap it up cute to mail:
