They turned out great and my mom and I had a fun time addressing them all over the 4th of July weekend. I also ordered extra envelopes by mistake which ended up being a good thing since we are both kind of OCD when it comes to penmanship.
I love walking by our fridge now and staring at our magnet! My stomach does a little flip every time I see it. And I don't think I'll ever get sick of that picture!
I am now starting to work on figuring out our formal invitations and the other papery pieces needed, like programs and menus and place cards. I love good paper and I think quality invitations can really set the tone for our wedding and give our guests a feel for the big day.
I'm going back and forth between having them custom made, or designing everything myself. I want something simple, but with a little whimsy thrown in. I like mismatched papers with different colors and textures, dreamy calligraphy, and gold foil. Here are a few of my favorite pins at the moment.

Just lovely!! There is something going on down here that I hadn't seen before. The wedding invitations come in a box. Kind of impressive, but also expensive. I don't see any in your pins, and haven't look on Pinterest. Is this something you have seen?
ReplyDeleteThanks Terri! I actually have seen that once before- a girl did custom wooden boxes with their wedding logo engraved in them. I can't imagine the cost but they sure were lovely!
DeleteThose are beautiful! We have really similar taste too - I love gold foil and beautiful calligraphy.
ReplyDeleteI recently found your blog and am so in love! I'm from Simpsonville/Greenville, but live in NY - so I am excited to read all about your Greenville wedding! Congratulations! :) I'm a calligrapher and would absolutely LOVE to work with you if you are interested! mollyfo on Instagram and my e-mail address is mollymoore323@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteLove the picture you picked! Laughed about your Mom getting address labels! Haven't seen your Mom in awhile. I know she is busy with your wedding. I am excited for you and her!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the "save the date" card and looks like some great choices for the invitations. What fun!
ReplyDeleteThe magnet makes me happy every time I walk by my fridge too : )
ReplyDeleteKimberly-let's do lunch! We're overdue!
