A photo had been taken of us at the dinner following our engagement in Las Vegas that we both really liked. One problem: during the hugs and congratulations we received upon arriving at the dinner (everyone knew Brian was going to propose and impressively kept it a secret from me!), a front section of my overly-sprayed hair was pushed up like a sun flare. NO ONE informed me of this. Unfortunately, the Sun Flare Hair was not only visible in the photo, but it bridged over to Brian’s head, causing a strange comb over look for Brian. Hmmm. Brian, in his ingenuity, downloaded a free trial version of Adobe Illustrator (or was it Photo Shop?) and was able to erase the Sun Flare Hair/Comb Over. Phew! (He also changed the background to a tropical getaway, but I thought the original setting was more suitable.)
The fixed version of the photo - minus Sun Flare Hair/Comb Over
Brian, who is a master at finding deals online, showed me this link from Vistaprint, which allows you to design a postcard with your own image. We were able to order 100 postcards for $14.98 (plus s/h), with a promotional discount! I printed out the address labels using Avery 5160 labels, ordered the stamps online, and sent out our Save-the-Dates!
Our guests have told us that they put the postcards on their fridges – even our friends who refuse to put anything on their fridges! Yes! An honorary place on the fridge. :-)
