Welcome to the EAD Weddings blog! We are so excited to have you here. If you are a new visitor, we'd love for you to subscribe to our RSS feed and visit our sister site, EAD Living. Thanks for visiting and we hope you come back soon!
After thinking about it and talking about it and thinking about it some more, our wedding date is finally set!
It feels amazing to have our wedding venue booked and a date to look forward to. Until recently, everything was up in the air but now, it all feels real.
I’m kind of embarrassed to admit this but I’ve had my Save the Dates finished for a couple months now!
When thinking about the Save the Dates, I wanted the design to reflect our venue and vision. They had to be colorful, unique and a bit modern.
I played around with Poladroid Image Maker before and had so much fun! If you remember, Mo also tried her had at Poladroid to transform her Engagement Photos. Poladroid is so easy to use and thought that it would be really unique to incorporate it into our Save the Dates.
Without further ado, here it is!
The photo in the picture is one of the dining rooms at The Cliff House. Isn’t it just so fun!?
Currently, I’m trying to find a good way to present these to our guests. I don’t think printing them out and stuffing them in an envelope would quite work. Then, I thought why not transform them into postcards!
I’m excited to be home in Pennsylvania visiting my family this week so me and mom are going to be working on this little project together.
Do you have any suggestions on how to present these to guests?
What if you made a “photo folder” like you’d get if you bought a picture after a ride or something on a card stock paper.
I love this! Never heard of Poladroid but it looks so much fun and something we might have to try! Maybe use a vellum envelope so you could see the picture through it? I like Ashley “pocket folder” idea too!

I love using Polaroids, its a shame they are becoming scarce. I love your idea of creating a postcard with the photo. Ashley’s idea is also great
Wow. Ravishingly beautiful.

They would be great on magnets - try creativemontage.com for a selection of magnet sizes - Aimee is great to work with and a wonderful source for ideas.
