We are not in a rush to get married and if we do so, I think it would go the unconventional route – wedding in Iceland, getting married in a state that allows same-sex marriage, city hall during lunch break… The options are limitless. There is one thing, however, I want at my wedding – good design sensibility and a retro tone. Save the Date invites are the first impression and first impressions are meaningful. I had that in mind when I designed these save the dates. We would also like a photo booth at our wedding (that’s for sure) and film (film, is that even still around?). Combining my favorite elements: design, fonts, retro/vintage feel and a photo booth strip I came up with this:
