Save the Dates (And for the record, I simply can't say "STDs")

Mr. Seashell texted me while I was at work one evening that a box from Magnet Street had arrived. I told him to tear it open and send a pic. He asked if I was sure I didn't want to open the box myself. I told him the suspense was killing me, he asked again if I was sure (because he just loves to drive me crazy) and eventually this popped up on my phone:

  

(fresh from the box to the fridge!)

They were perfect! 

Like many of you, we knew that we wanted to utilize our engagement photos as much as possible and our Save the Dates was one of the perfect places to do so. I was inspired by the simplicity of this card I found on Wedding Paper Divas:

I toyed with adding words to a few of our photos, but ultimately it seemed all too perfect to sneak our info into a Chicago street sign. After spending hours on photoshop, here's the before and after:

 

I must give Mr. Seashell TONS of credit here. He was remarkably patient with the editing process, and truly did the work. I was over his shoulder offering ideas and suggestions and reheating old pizza, but he was the one who figured out how to make the street sign look authentic.

Then I was on to figuring out how to package them... 

 

Isn't my art work amazing? (Ha.) That aside, my initial idea was to attach the magnet to cardstock "stardream" paper with photo corners and add a chandelier graphic to the left. Then I wanted to coordinate the envelope and design a matching stamp on zazzle. Sounded do-able, right?

Did you package your Save the Date magnets in a unique way?
