So, here's more stationery — I didn't realize how much we did ourselves until now! Crazy! The save-the-date project was a lot of fun. A great idea thanks to my husband. We printed the information on beige heavy stock paper, cut the shape of a barn, cut a little window and door, folded it and placed it into a brown envelope along with a map of the area where everyone was staying.
The wedding program had a gold skeleton key stamp. This is very meaningful to me, not because we have over 100 old keys hanging on one of our living room walls, but because even before meeting Chris' mother, she sent back a key with him to add to my collection. It came in a little pouch with a note that said, “this may be the key to my son's heart” -isn't that so sweet? He proposed two weeks later. ![]()
We printed a short story about the horseshoes we gave to all our guests. We put them in a burlap sack stamped with “Virginia is for Lovers” with our names and date. Did I mention we got married in a stable? So the horseshoes, which are symbolic for good luck, were also totally appropriate for the occasion.
Have a lovely day!
xoxo

Loudoun County, Virginia map: printed and hand-cut barn save-the-date (the window has two little pieces that fold), and chocolate envelope.

Printed and hand-stamped skeleton key ceremony program, short story about the horseshoe (more on that story later), printed menu and gift tags for bridesmaids and groomsmen.
