3 Months! Save the date pictures!

Wow, how time flies by so fast. In less that three months, the big event will unfold. We will start to hand out our "Save The Date" cards for confirmation. Altogether it may very well have cost us less than 30 dollars.
Since we had our engagement photos done already, we chose three pictures out of the many beautiful ones and edited them with texts like the one posted here. Each picture is approximately three megabytes in file size so we weren't sure if it will look good once printed. We decided to do a trial print at Walmart. Boy, was it ever nice. It came out really good. And it was really easy to do and really cheap. Now it made us ponder if we should just do our own invitations. We went to Michael's today at lunch and found some good deals for invitations. We wanted to do a trial run and bought a 12-piece invitation package for $2.99. Apparently we can save up to 50% according to Michael's. We'll see.
Oh speaking of invitations. The reason we are sending out "Save the Date" pictures is basically for our guests to RSVP. Upon receipt of confirmation will they only received invitations and reservations for how ever many people. Sort of an insurance so we can save on invitations and know exactly how many people and attending.
If you need help in creating such save the date cards/pictures let us know and we'll gladly help you out.
