A Great Gift for your Guests
If you’re a guest at a wedding, what do you do with the program after the ceremony is over? Do you scrunch it into your purse, leave it in your car during the reception, or do you immediately throw it away? You would be more likely to save the program if it was really a [...]
Save the Date : Post Cards
A few weeks ago these navy and pink postcards made their way across the country, informing the couple’s friends and family to save the date for Emily and Andy’s upcoming wedding. The couple was looking for a whimsical, yet preppy, feel with a photo they took of themselves incorporated. The end result: so cute! And [...]
Snail Mail
One of the most fun aspects about working on an invitation set is the outer packaging. I like to think of each invitation set as a little present guests get to receive in the mail. As I mentioned late last week, we worked on a destination wedding set for Lisa and John down in Key [...]
Soup to Nuts
Not to brag, but I am becoming a wizard with the rubber cement wand! Yesterday, Jillian and I spent 3-4 hours assembling some really cool Key West invitations. We sporadically sang “If I were a boy…” by Beyonce; not the entire song mind you, just that line, and consistently in a nasally falsetto. This morning [...]
Destination Wedding : Marco Island
It’s that time of year when everyone is craving spring and sick of the snow and ice for which New England is famous. Two of my brides couldn’t wait any longer and are heading south for their weddings. One to Key West (more on her invitations later this weekend), and the other to Marco Island, [...]

Are you planning on going? And what is your [...]
You love your pets! We love them, too!
Yesterday, Jillian and I spent a fun afternoon with Sophia and Brady. Sophia sat on my lap and attempted to steal my pastry. Brady fell asleep with his head perched on the table while we discussed invitations. These dogs’ moms are good friends who are planning their June and July weddings. And, can I say, [...]
Love Stories: Exit Row
Erin and Michael’s first date lasted approximately 4 hours; this was the duration of their flight from Los Angeles to Chicago. Although Erin had missed her initial flight, she was in good spirits. While boarding the plane she helped a woman load her luggage into the overhead compartment. Sure that she would be rewarded with [...]
The Ultimate Eye Candy
As I was searching though some of my usual wedding blogs I came across Amy Atlas Events. She is a New York City event planner specializing in unique, beautiful, and inspiring dessert tables. How yummy is that! The tables she creates are full of colors and textures-it’s like a work of art.
Here is a little [...]
Escort Cards or Featured Cocktail
Usually the first piece of stationary guests come across at a wedding reception are escort cards. These are beautiful pieces of stationary that inform guests what table they will be sitting at. A fun twist to a traditional escort card is to mix it up and place it in a drink! I did this at [...]
