Soo Many Invites!

I have been receiving tons of invitations in the mail lately...weddings...baby showers!!!  As many of you know I have love for beautiful stationary...So I went a head and took pictures of all the invitations! 

First one up, is of course a wedding invitation! I received it today in the mail! Anna designed and created her invitations! Remember her Save The Date? Well, here is her invite...

She created a four page invite with a detachable reply card. 

(Click to enlarge)

Now, onto some baby showers!! The two were from the two showers I have already shared a couple weeks ago! Nicole's shower was shared HERE. Her invitation was created by a family member...a very talented family member I should say! The shower decor was inspired by the invitation.

My 2nd invite is for my other friend Andrea..She is having a little girl! Click HERE to see pictures from her special day!

We have several more wedding invites coming and I can't wait to get my paws on them! Speaking of weddings...I am super excited for our friends Charlie and Karen's wedding in Long Island NY! I will be back with new posts next week with tons of pictures to share. So have a great weekend everyone!

Adorable Save The Dates!

My friend Anna challenged herself and designed their Save The Dates! The results speak for themselves...Yellow and gray are their wedding colors. I especially love all the different fonts and sizes used throughout.

She turned her design into a magnet which is so perfect & handy for her guests!

Anna and Josh decided to have their reception on a yacht  in Newport Beach, Ca! If you are interested in such a unique venue, click on over at Pacific Avalon Yacht Charters. I am super excited for this wedding!!!

Are you in the process of making your Save The Dates? There are soo many ideas out there now it can be a bit overwhelming! When we were planning, we opted on simple postcards which were actually designed by our photographer. Click HERE to check them out... I ended up having two different STDs designed for our big day...why not?!

Wedding Postage!

If you share a love for beautiful stationary & invitations, then I assume postage is just as important! I came across some cute postage and had to share!

I am currently loving these purple pansies!

The traditional wedding cake...elegant and modern..

I think the "King and Queen of Hearts" is cute!

When we were deciding which way to go with our postage we decided to create our own! We also wanted to include our Little Man... click HERE for the story! Below is a picture of how they turned out! I made the "42" light green to match our invites!! We created them over at Zazzle.

Speaking of pups...animals...I FINALLY got my "Adopt a Shelter Pet" postage! These pets were once homeless and now have a safe & loving home :)

Sooo hurry off to your post office and snatch up some pretty postage!!

EGGS!

This is what happens when Husband leaves during the week for work...



Kingston was soo cute licking the eggs..trying to get them open (i put treats inside)....oh and we found the adorable Easter tie last weekend at PetSmart..soo cute!

So, I had to make a card using one of these adorable shots!
I used Shutterfly this time!

Yes, call me crazy...but it is super crazy adorable!!! I think we need to start thinking about kids!
Happy Spring to everyone!!!!

Free VistaPrint!

A couple weeks ago Vista Print was offering tons of free stuff! So I definitely took advantage of this offer..I decided this was the time to try out some new products... I first ordered two packages of the caricature cards...it was fun to create each family member! Not sure about Kingston's caricature...The choices were very limited. I will not be ordering these again...My Kingston must be represented correctly! :)

Next, I ordered some desk calendars..you are able to choose different pictures for each month! So, I used our wedding pictures :) of course! I really like these! Good quality..they would make perfect presents for family members or for your Husband's desk at work!

Finally, I ordered several different styles of return mailing labels. These were my favorite considering how many you get in one order (140)! So, lets just say I am good for a long time!

The purple label is my favorite!

It is actually difficult to read the text in the yellow/black label. But still very pretty!

Oh how perfect are these for our St. Patricks Day cards?! These turned out great!

There are hundreds of labels to choose from! It was hard to decide which ones to pick! Amy Jean over at Relentless Bride also took advantage of some free stuff! Click on over and check out her "loot." She ordered tons of stuff for her wedding! What perfect timing!! She is also getting married this weekend!! Congratulations!!!!!!

Luck and Cheer!

..is right around the corner! I woke up this morning with a vision! It all started with this chair placed in our backyard. I have no idea where this vision came from..but I just love the chair we snag up from Target..under $100!

Our neighbors were soo nice to take our picture!



Then we had fun shooting our little model! He sat on that chair forever!



The finished product! I went with black & white for our cards. I decided to go with Kodak this time due to the cost. Use code SPRINGFOR15, for purchases over $20.


I can't wait for them to get in the mail! If you live in the Southern California area, try to attend the annual St. Patrick's Day parade in Hermosa Beach. Saturday, March 13th!

My Little Love

I just had to share a picture of the valentines we mailed out to friends and family. They turned out soo perfect! My little Kingston is so photogenic!




I used shutterfly this time!

I love sending cards and photos to loved ones for each holiday. In fact, I am already searching for the perfect St. Pattys card! Anyone else get all giddy when creating adorable cards? I had a blast creating my STDs and Thank Yous for our wedding. I hope you all had a fun Valentines weekend!

Pretty!

Yesterday I ordered some beautiful stationary for one of my very good friends from high school. Since Ink Obsession Designs did a fabulous job with my invites...I decided to go with them once again! Ink Obsession Designs is also Eco friendly!!

How pretty!



Happy Birthday Danelle!!!

Simple & Sweet

I just had to share this new adorable Save The Date by Ink Obsession Designs! I just love the pattern used for the tree and the tiny C+J in the trunk! This would have been a perfect STD for our wedding! Like I mentioned before, Ink Obsession Designs were great to work with and I will definitely use them again in the future.

Have a wonderful weekend my blogger friends!

Our Wedding- The Invitations-Final Product!

I just realized that I never shared the final product of our invitations! My good friend and bridal attendant Teresa designed my beautiful stationary. Right from the beginning I wanted something simple and cheap to mail! We started the design process back in the Fall of 08! Every time I would fly home, Teresa and I would meet up! Oh, it was so much fun!

Did you notice how the invitations match the placecards, programs and the seating chart? :)
I LOVED how it all matched!!

Here are a couple of pictures of our reply postcard.

They had three meal choices...each represented by a cute little graphic!

I received everything the weekend of my amazing bridal shower and bachelorette party! I put a few together to personally handout at the shower. I just couldn't wait to show them to everyone! Here are a couple of shots of my mini work station! I had to make space and move my Mothers decorative stuff out of the way :)





To jazz the invite up a knotch, I added a black band around the invite. I went to Michaels and purchased black cardstock and cut several strips! It also held the invite and reply card together.

In the end, they were exactly what I wanted! I have several left over and I think I may just make a couple of ornaments for this Christmas! I posted this DIY project back in April (wow, time goes by fast!!) and thought it was such a cute idea!

Lessons learned? I might have added an additional card with lodging info/directions. We had several phone calls from those guests who do not use a computer! We did put together a wedding website with tons of information. We had several hits a day..and tons of sweet messages :) BTW, I totally recommend setting a web page up for your guests!

Below, is a picture of the talented Teresa and Moi!

Have a wonderful Thursday!
