Our boarding pass save the dates are finally finished and in the mail!!!

 

To be honest, these were much more difficult than I had originally thought they would be! Well, I shouldn't say difficult because it was more just annoying bumps in the road because neither FI or I are super crafty or DIY people.

 

Here are some of the annoyances we ran into.. maybe they can help some of you out!

1. we had originally bought pearlescent cardstock for the actual boarding passes, however we had the hardest time getting a printer to work well with the cardstock. In the end we returned the pearlescent cardstock and just used plain white 110lb cardstock (saved us a lot of money too!)

2. Cutting the boarding passes out... it wasn't difficult, just time consuming! FI was much more patient with this than me! He did all the straight cutting and I did all the corner punches. We assembly-lined it over a couple nights...good team work!

3. Our printer died in the middle of printing our envelopes. Not the boarding passes fault, just annoying! haha FI thinks the new printer should be included in the total cost of these boarding passes... however I refuse!!

 

Here is the end result.

we had originally planned on buying pearlescent fushia envelopes. I didn't want to spend the $0.30/per envelope, or whatever it was. We ended up using cheap envelopes that FI gets from work and personalizing them. Sorry about the ugly black lines through the addresses!

I ended up making my own little jacket template. I traced this template on the cardstock, cut it out and taped the sides together with double sided sticky tape. Since I only used 2/3 of the cardstock I saved the other 1/3 and I'll probably use it for tags or something.

here are the tools we used.

 

I'll try to add up the total cost for you as well.

We made 35 save the dates.

 

White cardstock = 250 for $20.00. We used ~25 pages, so ~ $2

Green pearlescent cardstock = $0.68/page = $23.80

Raffia = $4.80

Corner rounder = $20

Envelopes = free

Paper slicer = free (borrowed from my sister)

Double sided sticky tape = free (stolen/borrowed from my dads workshop)

 

 

Total = $50.60/35 STDS

so.. $1.44/STD.... I'm pretty happy with that!

WOW! All that hard work paid off. Your STD's look fantastic!!! Great job. Where did you get the template for the boarding pass? I was trying to make a passport STD. I think it's a little more complicated than I thought. Maybe I'll do the boarding pass instead. Do you have a template?

I totally should have posted this before! The boarding pass template is Aylee's.

Ya, the boarding pass really isn't very complicated at all! Designing it is the fun part! I am going to try the passports for my invites though!

Here are the dingbat fonts I used. sc by the sea font for my starfish, and wm trees font for the palm tree!

Let me know if you want anymore info!!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
