SHAY'S BOARDING PASS "Save the Dates" - YAAAAYYYY FINALLY DONE!!! ~ PIC HEAVY


Recommended Posts

Okay I have finally finished my STD's. When people say "a labor of love" they are not kidding. The word "LABOR" should be emphasized, but I still love how they came out. I have to thank soo many brides on here and this site because I WOULD OF NOT HAD DONE THIS WITHOUT THIS SITE. A special thanks to all the brides who gave me the inspirations when making these.  I have to admit I did have fun making them. It was time well spent with my FI. My colors are Seafoam green and Palm Beach Coral. 

 

I printed these from my own printer... I wanted a printer because I knew that I wanted to do a lot of the DIY gifts and my FI told me that he would get me one for xmas if I wanted but I also wanted a new phone so to say the least I choose the phone. Well I gave birth to my daughter on December 15th, got my phone for xmas and my FI surprised me in January with the printer as a "push gift" aka baby mama gift :)  (he also got me some uggs). Anyway the printer he got me was the exact one I wanted. I would have bought it myself but it was just too expensive to buy ($299.99). My finance had this huge coupon from staples and got the printer for $114.00. I love him sooo much, and he was so impressed with the STD he said he didn't think they would turn out this way. He also said he could never do this for a living (after all the labor). 

 

Cost Breakdown for 100 STD's = $1.55 per STD w/o the brochures and magnets, 2.22 with.

I forgot to say the boarding pass covers are Silver Metallic Cardstock.

 

I shopped around to find the cheapest deals (and it was very time consuming but worth it)

 

Here are the stores I used 

 

Amazon  - Materials 

Envelopper inc - Envelopes

Cards and Pockets - Paper (silver and flame metallic paper)

Eyelet Outlet & Brads - Brads 

Paper Mart - Ribbon

 

Printer I used was Canon Pixma MX882 -feeds through the rear end and I was able to print 10 papers at a time. I let them dry overnight before I printed on the back of the paper. sorry I didn't take pics of the back. It's also true to color because I thought because it was a ink printer it would absorb the ink and it would get lighter so I darken the colors on the template (mistake) it only absorbed some of the color. I'm still happy with the seafoam color I tried to match. 

 

Hope you like.. and once again thank you!!!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
