Smile show me your save-the-dates

So I am starting the process of searching for Save the dates. I want something unique and not too expensive. I am getting married in Maui and would love some tropical ideas. I was thinking of using this company,
has anyone used them? www.myspace.com/paperdollsink

We are using a picture from our resort and putting it on magnets:

That's probably small but it's sized for the magnets

Default Re: show me your save-the-dates

These are what I've made so far. I'm curious how many people did an 8.5x11 size STD or something smaller? I don't want to burn through ink cartridges printing these, but I also want a good background image and don't want to lose size to make the details easily visible... Thoughts anyone?

Mikki, why don't you do a boarding pass and have the beach scene in the background. I was initially going to do this so I attached a draft I was working on. Hope it helps!

Default Re: show me your save-the-dates

Amy,
Thanks! I *really* like that!! That would be perfect because they're compact, attention-getting, and would save a lot of money on ink. I'll have to play around with that this weekend and see what I get...

M.
