Valentine's Day = Six Months to go!

As tomorrow is Valentine's Day, that means that we have only 6 months left 'til our big day! Holy moly!  I can't believe it's coming up so fast. 

This past weekend we crossed off a big item off our wedding to do list and sent out our save the dates.  We sent out two different versions, a virtual save the date through email (since mostly everyone checks their email now days) and a traditional save the date card through snail mail.  We ended up sending half our guest list one and half to the other, which turned our great since we saved money on postage. 

In case you were curious, here is our traditional save the date:

I love those chubby love birdies! 

Our virtual save the date is by far our favorite.  My best friend made it for us as a surprise and I literally wanted to cry since I was so touched by it.  I completely had no idea he was going to do this for us.  Here's the story of what happened...

One day while I was at work he starts messaging me asking me for pictures of Dan and I and said it was for a project he was working on.  I was like...okay that's weird but whatever, I'll send you pictures when I get home and I asked how many he needed.  He said 20-25 pictures, of course I agreed and sent him pictures that night.  The next day, he messages me to tell me that his project is finished and if I want to see it.  He then sends me this...

S&D Virtual Save the Date

I was still at work when I watched it and couldn't believe he made this for us.  Of course, being that Dan and I both LOVED it we had to use it.  Since I'm so not computer savy, he and Dan worked together and this is a sample of the email we sent out:

A BIG thank you to my best friend Brian who made both save the dates.  He's the same guy I wrote about in this post...Groomsmaid. He also designed our invites (sorry, you'll have to wait a couple of months to see those).  I owe him big!  On another note, he's actually getting married in less than a month.  I am also throwing him his bachelor party...this is the first and only bachelor party that I will plan and attend.  This will be a very non-traditional bachelor party though, sorry but no stripers. It's not happening.  Anyway, I'll blog about this more after this weekend.
