You’ll have to excuse me for any typos, I had a REALLY painful root canal this morning and I’m currently hopped up on happy pills. Let’s hope I get all my medical calamities out of the way now so I’m good to go for September!
Anyway! Once I got news that my FMIL put the deposit [...]


I just got photos from Kristin at Twin Ravens Press, our invitations are done! I’m really pleased with how they turned out. Simple and elegant. While I like a lot of contemporary invitations, I knew that I probably wouldn’t in ten years time. Why does this matter? Well, my parents wedding invitation has been hanging [...]


-I got word that our invitations are almost done and should be shipping out shortly! Eeeeeeeeee! I should be getting a photo soon! :dances in anticipation:
-If you’re like me and thinking of investing in a Bose system to use for your wedding reception (and afterward) go here. I’m leaning towards the portable system, that way [...]


If you’ve been following my blog for awhile, you’ll know that I’m a lover of letterpress, and the choice of my invitation vendor was not one that I took lightly. There are a few really great letterpress designers out there that I wish I could have given all of them my business because they were [...]


I’ve been a busy little bee in the past week!
-Went to the Paper Source store in Georgetown and got my place cards in luxe blush, which is the perfect pale, pale pink I’m going for. I also got some other papers in this color for other projects I’m working on, and my MOH and I [...]


Since the search term that drives most readers here is “affordable letterpress” I thought I’d talk a little bit more about it. Affordable letterpress is a bit of an oxymoron. It’s a like saying affordable Prada bag. It doesn’t exist-unless it’s a knock-off or used. You’re paying a price for luxury, so there’s no need [...]


I have a love/hate relationship with the Knot. Part of me loves the site, because it can be such a helpful resource, there are so many photos and you can look up vendors in your area. I also love the boards I hang out on, my local (s) the Baltimore and DC boards, and my [...]


Before I got engaged, I fell in love with a lot of high end stationery. I figured “we’d make it work!” and made note of what I liked. Now that I’m actually planning the wedding, my attitude has changed. The one aspect of the wedding I’m really splurging on is the invitations (letterpress!) so in [...]


I care about invitations and the paper products at weddings the way most brides care about flowers. I like flowers, but I honestly don’t care what I get on the day. Invitations and save the dates, on the other hand, stress me out, because I like so many of them, and I know I’m going [...]


I know it sounds like an oxymoron, but there are affordable letterpress options out there. I should say that while I pride myself in finding good budget options, I can’t kid myself and say that letterpress, at even bargain prices, is a good deal, when compared to flat printing, because letterpress is so labor intensive, [...]
