Invitations

Now that Phase one and 2/3 of Phase two of planning are complete, I am starting to be able to focus on some of the fun smaller details.  I have really been looking forward to designing the invitations because I absolutely adore stationary.  I love Papyrus cards because you can tell a lot of thought went into the details of the card, and sometimes on my lunch breaks I'll wander through Crane & Company to look at all the pretty designs.  I'm also a big fan of personalized anything and love getting things monogrammed.  So designing my own wedding invites = super fun.

I am very blessed to come from a remarkably talented family.  One of these talented members is my cousin Hannah, a recent graphic design graduate.  She has a great eye and I knew I wanted to have her design our invites right away.  You can check our her blog here.  She also has an Etsy site too!  I'm pretty certain I remember telling Arthur on own cruise that I wanted to have Hannah design our invites both because of her great style and because I think it makes it so much more special to include family whenever possible in our wedding planning & celebration.

Hannah and I have been brainstorming ideas this week and it has been a blast.  Hannah saw my vision right away and has had lots of great ideas already.  I think this may turn out to be one of my favorite parts of planning!
