Invitations and Paper

Inspiration Evolution: The Invitations

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

We all share of a love paper goods and paper designs. Having a little tag, the right font, a cute logo, etc are the elements that go into the final product of the paper products. Overall, these elements make or break a wedding if you ask me!

So check out Liz’s magic when it came to her invitions! She did every single part herself after countless hours, researching her style, refining the placement, and creating an extremely cohesive element that went with every other aspect of the wedding.

I love creating invitations and paper goods so it only seemed fitting that I do it myself for my wedding. I spent countless hours getting the invitation just right. I loved the style of bold unique fonts that just speak for themselves. I had a return address stamps and logo stamp made for the wedding which I incorporated into the invitations as well to add an even more personal touch. The invitations ended up coming out beautifully. Of course we decided to use kraft envelopes since we love natural colors.


So how did these DIY invitations come about??

It started with some basic inspiration….

Deciding on the style and the colors…..

Figuring out what fonts and layouts looked best….

Trying some of her own and really honing in on the style of the whole wedding.

Picking the perfect additions to work with the invitations…

Making a few final products…then changing them around again!

Again, here is the finished invitation which I think came out perfect! In the end, it matched the style of the event, incorporated the same details, and turned out to be the perfect glimpse into what was to be expected of her wedding :)

Any DIY invitation makers have some helpful hints???

Bridal Shower Favorites

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

The bridal shower is an exciting time! Let’s start with an amazing bridal shower invite such as the one I found from minted.com. You will need some toppers for your cupcakes, so try these from the pertyfultings Etsy Shop. If you haven’t already, announce your bridal party to everyone and give them a cute “Will You Be My Bridesmaid?” note like this from Print Your Party!

And finally, GAMES! I’m not the biggest fan of bridal games, but these new ones are amazing! A personalized crossword puzzle (from LoveSmartDesign) and games such as the Print Your Party printable version of the “purse game” (that I talked about playing at Lizzie’s Bridal Shower).

Those are the basics of the bridal shower! All personalized and all inexpensive! :) Have fun-it’ll be a fun day!

Love Print Your Party

Some of the newest work from Print Your Party!

The major reason why I love Print Your Party is because you can get all the little paper items that you wanted, but for less money! Printing it yourself saves so much money you would be spending, and the designs as fantastic and innovative!

We used them for our engagement party and for our invitations! They were able to make them how I wanted which was really awesome!These new designs just make my head whirl with new bright ideas for my wedding parties :)

Its All in the Small Details

Little decor ideas are what makes your even special and personal. These are some of my favorites that I really plan to incorporate!

Keys: love the key idea but they are awfully hard to find. The ones I have found are expensive too. The look of the keys and the bronze definitely go with the theme I have, and those as accents would be perfect!

Lantern Lights: holy moly those are so inexpensive and they just seem to transform any room! Look on lunarbizarre.com for some very cheap ones! They also have every color under the sun, so no matter what color palette you are trying to work with, you can always get ball lantern lights!

Tags: paper products, and especially tags, are my favorite thing ever. I absolutely love them as they give anything you put them on a really nice touch an for a small price!

Candle Lighting: Mason Jar candle holders?! Amazing. Those are so cute as they match the clear mason jars I will have, yet they hold my favorite kind of lighting :)

What unique details do you have going on for your wedding???
