Ralph Nader, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Lauren Cooper?

love 'em, wanna marry 'em

I believe in Save the Date cards.  I like them.  I especially like when they are made into little magnets that you can hang on your fridge.

Our bride has solicited opinions on her facebook account and most of the responses have been that she doesn't need to send Save the Date cards out.  Then she threw in the whole environment-save-a-tree thing and people really got crazy.

First, Save the Date cards are nice.  They are considerate.  They let people know what's going on.  They add a bit of sophistication.

Second, they aren't that expensive to make.  It's just another little thing a bride can do to enjoy her journey to the altar.  As I have said before, I like fancy paper and I like pretty things.  Save the Date cards would have been just another crafty project for me to do, had I done them.

And last, it won't save that many trees.  We aren't short on trees anyway.  That is a myth.
