wedding invitation designs, I understand how confusing and time

consuming choosing your wedding invitation can be.

That is why when you find a printer that not only has excellent customer service and one of the widest selections of…

Chris and I are very close to both of our families. Each of us has experienced a painful loss within our immediate families in the past. My father passed away in August of 2005, and Chris sadly lost his

brother unexpectedly a few years before that. We wish they could be

with us to celebrate our special day with us, but since they aren’t

able to, we planned to do something special to honor them at our

wedding.

How to know if DIY wedding invitations are the solution

There has been a lot of discussion in some DIY wedding invitation circles surrounding how much and how far a bride should go for her invites. While DIY does add an extra something special to your wedding

invitation sets and can save you money, it is important to know exactly

what and where it makes sense to implement the Do It Yourself attitude.

DON’T DIY Letterpress Wedding…

While I was surfing around the internet recently, I stumbled upon this unintentionally laughable letterpress printing video. It features more industrial style letterpress printing techniques, but was filmed

in the typical propaganda style methods that were so popular in this

pop sensation Rihanna apparently thinks the couple will be wed

heard this news is will the couple to be order wedding invitation

You really need to be computer literate to open this invite!

In my most recent jog around the wedding blogosphere I stumbled upon this amazing new invitation that was created in Germany. Now I have seen some pretty amazing wedding invitations in my day. Everything from
