By Miss Behavin: Save OUR Date

One of the most important things I have learned while planning this wedding is … there is a chance things won’t be EXACTLY like I have been imagining in my mind. This is difficult for me to admit because I always have a very optimistic outlook on life. Luckily, I found Mr. Behavin’ who always knows when I need to come back down to earth. He helps be remember budgets and all of that other not so much fun stuff.

When it came to ordering save the dates I just knew I would come across some great deal. So after weeks of looking through online blogs, pinterest posts, and many other online resources I was about to give up on looking for that great deal. (Pretty discouraging I know… But I promise that there is a happy ending to this story.)

One night Mr. Behavin’ told be I should try to look for them in a different way. So, I put these two words into Google “Cheap Postcards.” A sight popped up and I figured I would give it a look. Overnightprints appeared to be a site for company printing products. I seriously thought about clicking that little red X in the corner, but then I found the ‘postcard’ section. This is that moment when Heaven’s gates opened and the angels began to sing in my head…!

Here is why… 1. Front/back picture with glossy finish. 2. Can be customized any way I’d like. 3. I could type in my address, eliminating writing it 47 million times. 4. 500 postcards with shipping was less than $100.00

I had imagined something VERY specific for our save the dates. And by keeping an open mind and not giving up I found something even better! So my tip to you.. Don’t Give Up and Be Open to Change… you might be surprised what you find!
