WORDING

I’m happy to share advice if you’re following traditional etiquette, but when all is said and done, it’s your wedding. As long as you include the basic info (who, what, where, and when), you’re guests will make it to the wedding. And most importantly, make sure you and your partner (and your families) are comfortable with the wording you decide on.

FONTS

Love a signature layout, but prefer a less swirly script? Or maybe you want something with an art deco flair? No matter your preference, I’ve got you covered. Typography is an obsession of mine, and I have the font library to prove it (just don’t tell my husband ;) ) I’ve narrowed down a list of my very favorite fonts for your wedding invitations. Looking for a specific font you don’t see in the guide? Let me know! I’d love to suggest something similar, or could be persauded to make an addition to my collection.

From a tiny gold foil heart to a silhouette of a live oak tree, motifs lend a personalized touch to any piece of your stationery. Motifs can stand alone, be incorporated into a monogram, or used for meal choice options on your reply card, menu card, or escort cards.

In an era of evites and facebook events, your wedd In an era of evites and facebook events, your wedding invitations might be the first formal, printed stationery you’ve sent. So when it comes time to assemble them, it’s easy to feel lost! ⁠
Assembling your invitations can be as simple as stacking the pieces and stuffing the envelope or involve a glue gun and bow-tying skills. ⁠
I offer full or partial assembly services if any of this is more than you want to handle! Follow the link in my profile for some DIY assembly tips.⁠

Yesterday was an extra special day for my mom- not Yesterday was an extra special day for my mom- not just Mother's Day, but also her birthday! I can't imagine where I would be without her, and so much of what I do now is a direct result of the things she shared with me as a child. I have her to thank for my love of baking, interest in gardening, and do-it-yourself nature. I can't come close to being the artist she is, but I would never have picked up a paintbrush if she hadn't put one in my hand ♥️ Hopefully I can pass down some of these traits to my own children!⁠

There is something so romantic about silk ribbon! There is something so romantic about silk ribbon! Wedding invitations can be wrapped up with a bow, making your guests feel like they’re opening a present when they get your invitations in the mail. But maybe you’re not the bow type – or it’s just a little too feminine for your fiance. No worries! I have some fun ideas for ways to use silk ribbon in your wedding stationery suite on my blog - link in profile.⁠
