    I found this template on a wedding bee blog, and knew it was my perfect save the date:

    http://www.merrimentdesign.com/giving-tree-save-the-date-wedding-announcement-for-fall.php

    The Giving Tree is my ALL TIME fav book ever. Shel Silverstien defined my childhood (he even came to my preschool one day.. yes, I met him!)

    My wedding colors are turquoise and moss green, so I re-worked the template to go more with my style. The envelopes were a bit of a p.i.t.a. to print on (strings stuck in the printer!). But it was worth it, because i LOVE these, and they are so perfect for us.

    I also printed a larger version of just the tree with our initials, which is now hanging in our bathroom.

    I ordered the stamps on zazzle.com. I really like them, but I wasn't crazy about the blatant zazzle.com advertisement on them, any advice on where to find nice stamps when it comes to real invitation time?

    I love that book! (Though as a kindergarten teacher I think I'm required). I'm jealous you got to meet him.

    I love the stamp, and the STD design!  What a great idea!  I love the artwork on the giving tree!

    These are adorable! I love Shel Silverstein.

    I actually think most people don't notice the Zazzle logo on the stamps, but you could use vintage stamps instead. 100 Layer Cake has a great post here on looking for them.
