Our Save the Dates went out back in late October and they really set the tone for the whole wedding. We created a “travel folder” for all of our guests because most of them have never been to Greenville before. We used the lace design from Todd’s mother’s handkerchief and had Kelly Moore take a picture of the hanky before we sent it off to the printer.The handkerchief design totally covers the folder for the Save the Date and borders the envelope.
When you open the folder, there are four cards that read 1) Wedding Weekend Events, 2) From Erin and Todd, 3) lodging, 4) our favorite things to do in Greenville
A close up of the lace design that we’ve since used on all of the wedding paper. I’ve got a little bit on my thank you notes, the letter pressed invitations have the design on it, and the design will be the cover on the ceremony programs. We’re also creating drink recipes for our signature drink and posting them on a piece of cardstock with the lace design on it.
Also a close up of the pink “erin & todd” that we’ve used in multiple locations throughout the wedding planning process.
What are some other ways to incorporate the design into the big day?
This is beautiful!
You could definitely put the lace design on anything! Just a smidge here and there.
You’ve really outdone yourself on the save the dates! How will you top it for the invites?
well, i’m afraid we haven’t! the save the date was really the piece that needed to entice guests to make the trip. the wedding is in may and could conflict with lots of family gatherings, so we wanted greenville to appear as a great destination in itself. and it really is.
the invitation is a beautiful letter pressed pink and gold with the bickham script font again. it’s beautiful, but you’re right, i’m not sure it tops the save the date.
I bet it still looks great, and if the save-the-date is what you needed to entice people to make the trip, it makes complete sense that you all would put more of your money into that! That’s how we do it in my field every day!
Looking forward to seeing you this coming weekend! And, by the way, the Save the Date was gorgeous!!

These are amazing!
Just wondering if you could explain how you got the lace design onto your STD, its such a pretty design!
These are beyond amazing. How are you possibly going to follow it up with your invites. The lace is such a great touch.
