Drumroll Please: Musically Romantic Save-the-dates Debut!

About Us

I'm a happy-go-lucky do-gooder and owner of Va de Vie Events. Through this blog, I hope to share inspiration, budget ideas and DIY tips on how to pull off a budget wedding. {Savvy shopping, a bit of craftiness, and flexibility is what it takes!} I would love to hear from real brides, vendors, photographers, and more with their budget savvy tips or real weddings. Please email me at vera at vadevie-events.com.

You can also check out my underground dining adventures on Canvas Underground, by clicking here.

NOTE: In accordance with new FTC regulations, vendors I spotlight on my blog have not sponsored me or their post in any way -- it's strictly editorial and because I admire their work. I also credit photography as best I can and will gladly take it down if necessary. Thank you.

Vera D. said...: Thanks, everyone! We passed some out to close family and friends around Christmas and most couldn't figure out that you have to slide the card out to read the back...but they still loved it -- especially the guys (old bandmates of Guitar Fred's who appreciated the picks).; December 29, 2009 at 5:29 PM
hifiweddings said...: I LOVE these invites! I just wanted to introduce myself and say that I would love to feature your wedding once you are a lucky Mrs. I have a wedding site all about music called Hi-Fi Weddings (hifiweddings.com). I've actually been communicating with Lolli and that's where I found the link to your blog! Anyway, just wanted to say hello and I'm looking forward to reading all about your adventures leading up to your wonderful day!

take care,
