Make Your Own Save the Dates With Watercolor and Illustrator

We all know that wedding planning (or party prep of any kind) takes a lot of time, money and pretty stationery. To check off one item on that list, here’s a simple, budget-friendly DIY that combines art and tech for the easiest save the dates EVER! This is the first time that I’ve made invitations like this, and I was amazed at how quickly and beautifully these came together. It seriously only took about 30 minutes of painting by hand and 30 minutes of designing in Adobe Illustrator!

We’re fully taking advantage of the current watercolor trend here by channeling its flowy, easy-going qualities that anyone can recreate with a little bit of practice. While more intricate invitations require a lot more work and illustration, these are completely beginner-friendly, so you have no excuse not to give it a try! We used skills and techniques from our Watercolor Painting online class and our Adobe Illustrator online classes, so if you’re nervous about trying this out for yourself, sign up for a class, and you’ll be a pro in no time!

Materials:

watercolor paper

watercolor paints

— paintbrushes (here and here)

paint palette

painter’s tape

Additional Tools + Programs:

— Adobe Illustrator downloaded onto your computer (free trial HERE)

— scanner

Instructions:

1. Practice painting a light watercolor wash onto a sheet of paper. Try blending colors and creating light-to-dark gradients.

2. Paint your names and/or phrases onto another piece of paper using your thinnest brush and more saturated watercolor paint.

3. Scan in your favorite pages of lettering and watercolor washes, and save as a .JPEG.

4. Create a new document in Adobe Illustrator, and then open up your scanned .JPEGs in Illustrator as well.

5. Image trace and expand your scanned lettering, and delete all versions of your names or phrases that you’re not going to use.

6. Position and size your chosen lettering on top of your watercolor background in the new Illustrator document.

7. Add text boxes to your document, and fill with the important event details.

8. Save as a .PDF with crop marks and bleeds for print.

9. Print out your finished file, and trim down the edges to the crop marks positioned in all four corners.

10. Pop your save the dates in envelopes, address to your guests and send them out!

Grab your watercolor supplies, start downloading your free trial of Adobe Illustrator and you’re good to go!

Watercolor Wash + Lettering

First up is the watercolor wash. Tape down the edges of a piece of watercolor paper using painter’s tape, and mix up some paint in your chosen colors. For the first wash, you’ll want to use a very light, watery version of your first color, and quickly swipe it across the top of your page with a large brush. While the paint is still wet, layer on slightly darker and darker versions of that color until you get a nice gradient. Repeat with a second color on the bottom edge of your page, and work up to the middle. Blend the lightest versions of your two colors together in the center to tie everything together. Note: This takes a LOT more water than you’d think, so start light and build up darker colors as you go.

Now for the lettering portion! Take your thinnest brush, dip it into a more saturated color than you were working with previously and start practicing your lettering. Here we’re practicing on one sheet of paper, but feel free to keep practicing on multiple sheets until you get it down. Nervous about lettering? You guessed it — we’ve got a class for that. Check out our Brush Calligraphy online class and get the low-down on creating pretty painted phrases.

If, like us, you practiced on a few pages behind the scenes, pick out your faves and let them dry completely before starting part two of this DIY.

Layout in Illustrator

Once your hand-painted pieces are totally dry, go ahead and scan them in. Make sure to select “Color” and “300 dpi” in your scan settings and save as a JPEG. This means that your artwork will be print quality when you go to print out your final designs!

Open up Adobe Illustrator and start a new document. Set the dimensions to whatever size you prefer (we chose 4 x 6 inches, standard postcard size), and set your bleed to 0.125 inches on all sides. Lastly, since you’ll be printing this out at the end, set your color mode to “CMYK” and click “OK.”

Now open your scanned JPEGs of both the watercolor wash and the brush lettering, and drag the wash image over to your newly created document. Take the time to position and resize your watercolor wash image on your art board until you’re happy with it.

Next up, we’ll go ahead and vectorize your scanned brush lettering. On the JPEG file, select the whole page of lettering and select “Image Trace.” The image trace function allows you to select “3-color” from a dropdown list, which will give your lettering more exact definition than the default setting. Next, click “Expand” to create your vector lettering.

Now it’s time to clean house. Pick out your favorite version of your phrase and delete all the other versions around it. Select all pieces of your final phrase and click on “Unite” in your “Pathfinder” window to make it all one color.

Select and drag your phrase over to the new document, and lay it on top of your watercolor background. We turned the phrase to white to make it really pop against the blue wash (and to hide any imperfections ;)

Now this part isn’t totally necessary, but it will help you see what your final design will look like once it’s done. Draw a rectangle the size of your document (including that 0.125-inch bleed) and select both the rectangle and your watercolor background. With both items selected, right click and select “Make Clipping Mask” to trim down your background.

Add a text box on top of your layout and fill in the important details of your save the date or invitation. Play around with a few different fonts, and see what you like!

Once you’re happy with your design, it’s time to get your file print-ready. Save your file as a “PDF,” and select “Trim Marks” and “Use Document Bleed Settings” in the “Marks and Bleeds” section. Click on “Save PDF,” and you’re ready to print!

The Final Product

Print out your save the dates at home on high quality card stock, or take your .PDF file to a professional printer. Make sure to ask them for a printed proof to make sure the colors look right to you before you ask them to print the whole job. Use those little crop marks in the four corners of your print to trim off the eighth of an inch color bleed with an X-ACTO knife.

Match your save the dates to some envelopes and send ’em out!

Did Tom Holland and Zendaya spike the air with love following their engagement news? I mean, it seems like everyone's popping the question these days! If you've recently said "yes" to the love of your life's big question, all that's left to do now is start planning so you can walk down the aisle into the next chapter of your relationship's story.

Before you start randomly choosing wedding dates, you may want to take advice from Amy Abbott of Amy Abbott Events, Tara Fay of Tara Fay Events, and Wendee Vezzetti of Custom Weddings of Colorado because they have keen tips to help you avoid a few faux pas. Think of it as their way of helping you avoid further stress.

"While every couple's wedding day is special, there are a few dates that might cause more stress than celebration — both on the day and in the years to come," says Vezzetti.

Scroll to see the worst days to have your wedding!

1. New Years Eve

December 31 may have come and gone, but there's always more NYE events to come. It's just one of the worst days to have your wedding. No, I mean it. Abbott suggests this isn't the time to pack two celebratory events into one. As the owner and creative director of Amy Abbott Events, she's helped plan luxurious weddings for some of Hollywood's top celebrities and athletes — including Simone Biles!

So, why no fabulous wedding on NYE? She says, "You’ll end up paying almost 50 percent more as vendors typically charge much higher rates." But, that's just the tip of the iceberg. She also adds, "For destination weddings during this time of year, hotels often enforce 5- to 7-night minimum stays, with hotel rates being nearly double. This can make it almost impossible for your guests to commit to attending your wedding." Even if you think money isn't an issue, she advises "it's just a very costly option."

That's not the only issue you could face. "To add to the challenge, some of the best vendors often take the entire holiday season off, making availability a significant issue." This just made our jaws drop because we didn't know this! But we can imagine this feels like one of the times they get to catch their breath before prepping for such a huge moment in people's lives so it's not unbelievable!

2. Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is such a romantic day that deserves to be reserved for celebrating how much you're in love. But, please don't think your wedding has to be on February 14. Vezzetti says this day along with NYE "may sound romantic," but they're not in "reality."

She says, "These dates are super popular for weddings and other celebrations, which means venues and vendors charge a premium." And guess what? She says you're not even considering "future anniversaries."

Her advice if you decide to forge ahead is: "Good luck booking a cozy dinner reservation when everyone else is celebrating too."

3. Super Bowl Sunday

Another thing Fay says couples "often forget about" are "major sporting events." Her rule of thumb is to "try to understand the guest list and audience" so her team can be "conscious of their experiences."

It's the reason she's against have a wedding on Super Bowl Sunday. She says, "It may leave guests less present at your event, even if you're not a football fan. So we [the Tara Fay Events team] try to be conscious of big cultural and sporting events like this."

Always be aware of times close to major holidays. If guests have to travel distances and be away from their families, that may impact your rsvp’s. Plus, it’s typically more expensive to travel those times of year. Don’t forget about international holidays as well, Diwali for example.

Amy Abbott Events

4. Labor Day

Vezzetti also discourages scheduling a wedding on Labor Day. The rule used to be that you couldn't wear white after this holiday passed, but now you need to rethink your plans if you plan to trade 'I Do's" on this date.

"Long holiday weekends may seem ideal for travel, but they also come with headaches. First, heavy traffic," says Vezzetti. She and her team "have seen travel times TRIPLE on Colorado roadways during these holidays." This fact alone made our hearts skip a beat because we caught of a flash of you potentially being late your own wedding!

Also, Vezzetti says you won't be the only person in town for a holiday like this. "Because everyone else is traveling, lodging and restaurants are hard to come by, especially popular mountain retreats in places like Colorado."

Amy Abbott Events

5. Memorial Day

Sigh... We don't know why anyone would want to have a wedding on Memorial Day, but personal preference always plays a factor in decisions like this. The issue, Vezzetti warns, is that you're risking a lot by doing so. "Before you set the date, do a little research as to local annual events," she advises.

For example, Boulder, Colorado is a "great destination with amazing scenery, warm weather, and world-class dining" according to her. "But Memorial Day in Boulder, Colorado brings more than 50,000 runners into town. So definitely check the local calendar for your wedding destination and make sure you aren't going to share your special day with thousands of others."

Can you imagine having an outdoor wedding where your guests are torn between watching you emotionally exchange vows as marathon runners sprint nearby?

Taryn Baxter for Amy Abbott Events

I'm kind of scared I'll choose the wrong date. What are good days or months to have my wedding?

This sounds like a "how-to" guide of everything you shouldn't do when choosing your wedding date, but there's still a large window of opportunity! "The best months to get married for tropical destination weddings are October 15th through July 15th," Abbott says.

But, there's a catch. "Once you go beyond that, you risk running into hurricane season. Even if you're fortunate enough to avoid a storm, the intense heat and relentless bugs can take away from the enjoyment of your day," she adds. All in all, "it's simply not an ideal time of year" because "the weather can significantly impact your overall experience," according to her.

Amy Abbott Events

Fay agrees with this by adding "major weather events are important to consider" at all times. She also added you should "take note of monsoon months" along with "hurricane season." She knows no one can really "predict bad weather," but she wants you to "aim for months that more often provide the experience you're looking to have."

Vezzetti says "popular dates in Colorado are the summer months (June-September) because of the scenic outdoor backdrops and warm weather." But she knows there are "trade-offs" like "venues and vendors" booking early, plus the chance "you might pay higher prices" even though the "gorgeous sand makes it worth it!"

The truth is that your special day should feel as seamless as possible. Something is sure not to go according to plan, but it shouldn't involve something interrupting the entire date you've chosen to have your weeding. Fay's final piece of advice, "If you want to get married in Europe, be aware of when Europeans go on holiday and try to avoid August which is the busiest time for major European countries.

But, the trade-offs are that venues and vendors book early and you might pay higher prices (but it's gorgeous sand worth it!). But, if you want to save, In Colorado late spring (April–May) and late fall (November) are excellent for the value. Plus, venues and vendors often have more availability. This concept can be applied to other destinations, but they may have seasonal variations. So, be sure to check the seasonal highs and lows in whatever area you are planning to tie the knot.

Amy Abbott Events

A tip you may not have considered is doing "a little research on when courthouses in the destination issue marriage licenses." Vezzetti suggests doing this so you're well-prepared and can "plan with enough travel time so you are not scrambling to get your legal documents."

Not sure when to go? Vezzetti says, "In most States, courthouses are only open during banking hours (Mon-Fri, generally), and while the process may quick (in Colorado, expect 15 minutes, tops), couples without a plan might find themselves in panic mode." Didn't we say we don't want you passing out before your big day even arrives? Take Vezzetti's advice and "do a little research" so you can "plan to arrive a day early!"

Before you panic, Abbott has one last thing to share. "The good news? There are nearly nine and a half months of perfect timing for wedding planning, giving couples plenty of options to make their big day truly unforgettable!"

The worst book adaptation news just hit my feed and I'm SO not okay. I was just gushing over how excited I am for the upcoming A Court of Thorns and Roses TV series, but now it seems like we're not getting it — at least not at Hulu. If you're just as confused as I am, let's dig into the details. (And if anyone wants to start a support group so we can air our frustrations together, I am SO in.)

Scroll to find out everything you need to know Hulu canceling A Court of Thorns and Roses

According to Variety, Hulu's decided to scrap their adaptation of one of the best modern romantasy series — I mean, A Court of Thorns and Roses. The thorny part — pun intended — about this news is that the show was already considered a "dead-end" last year (via TV Line). But, the series' executive producer Ronald D. Moore swore everything was "still in development." He said, "We've written some scripts...I think the whole town is kind of waiting to see if we have actors before things really move forward..."

Variety also reports the rights for the ACOTAR series will be owned by Disney's 20th Television until sometime this summer.

The book world was excited when news about the series was shared in 2021 because it meant that we'd get to see Feyre discover that she was in a toxic "relationship" with the faerie Tamlin. Besides that, there were so many other elements we were excited to see. The Sentinel, Rhysand, Feyre's time under the mountain...*sigh.*

Sarah J. Maas

If you're looking for Hulu or Sarah J. Maas to comment on the news, you'll have to hold your breath because neither are saying much (via Variety). The only thing that's been shared is the fantasy author hasn't given up on ACOTAR becoming a series as she's got her sights set on "a different studio and platform."

We'd love to see Amazon Prime Video or Max pick it up so we can finally see this story come to life!

Reread 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' In Lieu Of The Disappointing News

Amazon

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

One thing's for certain, ACOTAR is something BookTok couldn't stop making fun videos about. I guess I'll have to rewatch them until someone gives the TV series the support it needs to thrive.

There’s a newcomer in Trader Joe’s skincare section, and it’s already sending fans into a frenzy! Said to be a solid dupe of the ever-popular Sol de Janeiro Delícia Drench Body Butter, this limited-time TJ’s product goes for just $7, but shoppers say it’s still as rich, hydrating, and fragrant.

Read on for more info on this latest Trader Joe’s beauty drop!

Trader Joe's

The new find is none other than the Ultra Rich Body Butter, a “mega-moisturizer” that Trader Joe’s says is designed to “deeply hydrate and restore your skin’s natural glow.”

Reddit

Its formula is packed with plenty of shea butter, along with nourishing coconut oil, passion fruit seed oil, hyaluronic acid, and Copaiba resin to really help target dry skin. The formula is touted to be extra creamy and thick, all while boating a warm vanilla orchid scent.

Sephora

Trader Joe’s shoppers were super quick to compare the all-new Ultra Rich Body Butter to one of Sol de Janeiro’s body care products, the Delícia Drench Body Butter.

When one TJ’s fan asked about the product’s scent on Reddit, one user noted that “it smells like a clean floral vanilla but not heavy on any of those in particular if that makes sense. It actually reminds me a lot of Sol De Janeiro 59 scent if you've ever smelled that.”

Another Redditoralso dared to compare the two products: “I bought 2 today! It really does smell like Sol de Janeiro Delicia body butter but way thicker.”

Reddit

Aside from the scent of the Ultra Rich Body Butter, Trader Joe’s shoppers who’ve tried the product are loving the texture of it. A few fans on Reddit sounded off about the thick formula:

“Shockingly, it ABSORBS really well!” one person said.

“Once on, it soaks in, hydrates well and has a pleasant, light scent that lasts too,” another user commented.

Sephora

While one 8.1-ounce tub of Sol de Janeiro’s Delícia Drench Body Butter goes for $48, the new Trader Joe’s body butter costs just $7 for 8 ounces.

Wowza! We can’t wait to get our hands on this new find.
