Save-the-Dates

   tl;dr — We made these and got them letterpressed. I made a video of the process.

   "Better late then never," they say.

   A few weeks ago, we buckled down and designed these. We jumped at the opportunity to give them a handwritten feel. Jen took care of the "2"s, "1"s, "0"s and the ampersand. I took care of the brackets and the "8". Our names were set in Wasabi and Gotham finished it off.

   A week later, we found a letterpresser willing to rush for us. A week after that, we strolled in to see a proof and were treated to our first in-person letterpress experience and we made sure to record it. Aardvark did a wonderful job, but Jen is the real hero of this story, as she painstakingly addressed each envelope and folded each Save-the-Date.

   What's inside? Well, you'll have to watch the video (or wait for yours to come in the mail ;D). Either way, we hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed making them.

   They're different.
   They're us.

   (Here I am wishing Dribbble had a replace image feature, Jen just told me we had ones that were folded a bit more carefully. :x)

   Excellent Video! Fun watching old school processes :)

   I wish dribbble had a replace too. Got bitten by that a few weeks ago. Fairly straight forward feature.

   Looks awesome! The brackets are a nice touch. :) Was that a Moo StickerBook at the end? It has a nice purikura feel to it (in context, anyway), but I couldn't tell where it would've come from.

   Congrats!

   Also have found myself wishing there was a replace, or a way to set a shot that was already posted as a rebound of another, but I do understand why it can't be allowed as it could easily be abused.

   Amazing! The Final Fantasy theme music definitely gives it that “Bryan and Jen” feel. Congrats to the both of you! Wishing you all the very best in happiness, success and a life full of eternal love together. :)

   Thank you all! The video was extremely fun to make. I think the only thing lacking is my utter giddiness watching all of this happen. Took one for the team. ;)

   @Marty — Yep, at least 2 pages of one. The purikura feel is what we wanted to go for. We ordered a bunch, took them apart and put them back together in our cover. :)

   Nice! I figured you would've done something like that, since their covers don't exactly scream "wedding" :)
