I’m in love with Hayley and Ryan’s chess themed designs! Hayley made the design in Photoshop with a google-searched image and a free font downloaded from Dafont.
Hayley and Ryan’s Chess Themed Email Save the Dates
I asked Hayley to tell me a bit about her inspiration, and here’s what she wrote:
I came up with the tagline ‘He made his move, please save the date!‘ while i was riding the bus. This tagline actually helped to decide my overall theme for the wedding. The inspiration was a couple things; 1) My man is chess obsessed! 2) I think STD’s can be cute and flirty and this idea that he ‘made his move’ on me is so sexy!
Hayley says she felt the tagline set a masculine tone for what is normally an overtly female event. She made a couple of versions and sent it to her sister, mum and sister-in-law for review and feedback. (Kuddos to Hayley for that ‘move’ — honest feedback from some trusted sources is always a great help in the design process!)
Hayley & Ryan’s Glösite
Hayley and Ryan are hosting a nighttime cocktail wedding, which will feature a homemade, over-the-top mad tea party dessert table – including a chess board cake with sculpted chocolate pieces and lots of wine! Hayley send through a few mouth-watering photos to give us an idea of what she’s planning.
Planned treats! Including chess cake, sugar cookies, cheesecake pops, guinness pudding, rice krispie cones, and white chocolate brownies.

What an amazing concept! This bride-to-be is really an inspriration. My wedding invites barely stood out from all the rest. And I am so inlove with that dessert selection. Can I marry her?
What an amazing idea! Inspirational.

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Safari. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Cheers

At this time it seems like BlogEngine is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?

The very core of your writing whilst sounding agreeable initially, did not really sit well with me personally after some time. Someplace within the paragraphs you managed to make me a believer but only for a while. I nevertheless have a problem with your jumps in logic and one would do nicely to help fill in all those gaps. When you can accomplish that, I would definitely end up being impressed.
I believe one of your commercials triggered my web browser to resize, you may well want to put that on your blacklist.
Hey! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?

I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good success. If you know of any please share. Kudos!
Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
Audio started playing as soon as I opened this site, so irritating!
