    Hi

    I am looking to get my STD's out in May but I don't want the usual postcards or fridge magnets. Does anyone have any unusual ideas for these?

    Our theme is New York, colour scheme is black and cream xx

    If you're having a cinematic kind of edge to it then maybe ticket stub type ones? or in the style of posters that advertise the shows?

    what about something Apple shaped? as NY is the big apple you could do them with little labels tied to the stalk with your name and wedding date on and across the middle of the apple a siloette of the sky line? sorry if that sounds awful, I'm a bit arty farty lol

    i speak to a girl on another website and her theme is the same new york as her h2b is from there. what she done was make a muffin shaped card with the new york skyline as the top of the muffin case and the writing on the top like icing writing with all the details. with the ones she handed out she also gave a mini muffin and the ones posted obviously didnt lol.

    apparently muffins were supposed to be invented there and she likes muffins also ha ha ha

    sorry if you think this is stupid.......im full of coffee and giggly at the moment x

    Or you could use the 'I heart NY' type face with your initials, we've done something similar as a logo which we've got on all our stationery, H2B's cufflinks and on envelope seal stickers we sent with the invitations - it's on my footer too! We also emailed out our STD's too to save postage, here it is:

    How clever are all of you? Some amazing ideas here ladies. I guess I have been reading too many Wedding Project websites where they all send out handmade crafts but I think I need to keep it a little more simple. Going to put your ideas to H2B xx

    I recently saw a video where they had graffiti-ed a wall with chalk, you'd have to be very creative to pull it off but it looked great. You could do a simpler video by holding up cards with the details, then email everybody the disk.

    I sent mine out a good 9months before as our wedding was July, still lots of people didn't come because it was holiday time :/ it's worth sending the ones out to your family quite a while before x

    Until I read the new York bit I thought paper aeroplanes. Fit all your info inside and look funky. But not suitable.

    How about yellow taxi toy cars then write on them?

    Ooh cool samitrev2B! Coasters would be a great idea for us, can print the std for our wedding abroad on one side, and the std for our uk blessing/reception on the other! Thanks! :) Xx
