I check the knot's daily obsession everyday and stay up to date on all the wedding bee blog post. Its more than that too. I am continually looking online for dresses, flowers, paper products, and decoration. Etsy, Ebay, and Google are my new best friends.While perusing the internet for more wedding goodness, one day I came across 1920's art deco postcards on Ebay. I love the look of vintage, and I was searching for art deco and 1920-1930's jewelry, art, and inspiration. The postcards are from a book called Postcards of the Elegant Twenties published in the 80's. It was a collection of 24 pieces of George Barbier's art deco illustrations.
I looked at the above image and fell in love. Art deco post cards with girls in dresses and boys in tuxes. After seeing Mrs. Bunny use vintage postcards for RSVP, I immediately thought these would make great STDs. I love that everyone in each group of friends and family will get a unique postcard. Here are all the postcards I will be using.
Every postcard tells the receiver the name of the illustration on the front. Some of the postcards are not as wedding centered as others, but I really like the effect of them all being different. I also left out about 5 postcards in the set of 24 because they just didn't fit (or had too many exposed body parts). The only part that is a little sad is that I won't be able to put engagement pictures on them, but hopefully those will be added to the invites.
I'm so excited to be adding this vintage feel to most peoples first introduction to our wedding. I also love how unique all the postcards will look as STDs!
Do you have any ideas for unique STDs?
