Wedding Invitations for a Snowflake Soiree!

I recently was asked to make wedding invitations for one of the very first friends I ever made, and of course I was honored to do so! I literally met this girl on the first day of Kindergarten and we have been great friends ever since. She is having a winter wedding in January with an ice blue and snowflake theme. Here are the invites I came up with for her:







I am thrilled because she was SO happy with how they turned out! I am also proud of myself for making 175 3-piece invitations with envelopes and 225 monogram labels for under $475! Many of my loyal readers will know what an accomplishment this is if they remember the cost of my invitations and I only made 120!

Etsy Love: unlesssomeonelikeyou

Don't tell Ryan, but I have a serious crush on someone. That someone is Etsy seller unlesssomeonelikeyou. I was browsing around Etsy today looking for unique and different wedding invitations (no...we still don't have invitations... more on that later) when I ran across this seller. I was immediately in awe of how cool and different their invitations are. The little blurb about the seller basically says that they wanted something different for their invitations, so they created wedding posters to send each person that was invited in lieu of a traditional invite. Here are some examples:

Seriously, how awesome are those posters? The only problem, I really don't think we are "cool" enough for invites like that! ha! After I decided we couldn't use them as invites, I thought about framing one and letting guests sign it as our guestbook, but we have already spent a small fortune on the Polaroid guest book idea, so there is no going back now. I really thought these posters were way too cute to pass up, so I ended up ordering one similar to the first picture shown. I think it will look great framed & matted in our home. I will definitely share it with you when it arrives:)

And on a side note, please continue to pray for Harper, Kelly and Scott from Kelly's Korner. Anyone who reads her blog regularly knows what a wonderful person Kelly is, and that everything they are having to go through with Harper is heartbreaking. I'm sure they would love for you to stop by and give them some words of encouragement!
