I tell ya..., it's tricky peeing in a big dress. Can be done with the right help though... this card should spell it out for your girls!!!!

Letterpress Wedding Invitation Trend – Eco RSVP Requests

"One of our favorite recent trends in letterpress wedding invitations has been the increasing number of requests we’ve received to print RSVP information directly on the outer envelope flap. The envelope is letterpress printed with either a website address, email address or another means by which RSVPs are requested, without having to send guests a separate reply card. It’s a fabulous idea that is incredibly eco-chic because it saves so much paper, but it’s also budget-friendly, too! A couple cannot only reduce paper usage, but also save the money they would have spent if providing guests with a reply card and postage. Paired with lovely letterpress wedding invitations, it’s chic, streamlined and equally appropriate for a barefoot wedding on the beach or a black tie affair. We’re in love with these that we’ve recently printed and can’t wait to print more…"

And here are a few more of MY favorites! You KNOW how I love color (and my Blue Crab!)

kara rosenberry

My daughter used to ask the same few questions of everyone she met.

1. What's your favorite color?
2. Who is your favorite princess?
3. What's your favorite bug?

Well honey, mine is the Dragonfly!

As you may remember, I won the Kara Rosenberry give-away not too long ago. Well, I received my prize in the mail the other day!

Love them!

Dragonfly and Bird Nest notecards. (I just noticed she sells coordinating stickers on her Etsy site... Hmmm I may need those!!!)

Thanks Kara!

haute off the press

I just came across the coolest Etsy site!

Haute Off The Press

and her blog is really cool too!

Where was Etsy when I got married in 2001? I still like the invitations I chose, but SO would have picked something different nowadays!!!

Keep up the good work!

did you know i was a winner?

oh yes! i won!

kara rosenberry co. had a contest for her awesome stationery, and i won! (i really don't think i've won anything before in my life, and certainly nothing as cool as this!)

i'm so excited! please stop by her site, as Kara is an absolute doll, and so is her blog and of course, her stationery!

Laid back Mondays. Can you get over this shot?

Great idea for a Save the Date or Wedding Announcement.

Be Creative

I found this calligrapher's blog page and I can't decide which photo I like the best. Please visit her site. Love, Jenna a.s.a.p., if you want your wedding to scream creative, one of a kind, elegant and ... I just can't think of the right words.

I hope to interview the owner soon.

Stationery Surprise

OK, the surprise is over. My sister-in-law found out she is going to have a baby shower. I found the coolest invitations on a beautiful site called Blue Pumpkin Press. They also offer wedding related items as well. (And even though their site doesn't show Thank You cards, they have them too.)

My sister-in-law's husband is a helicopter pilot and they are having a boy, so I thought this would be cute:

A brand new "Fly Boy" is on the way
So let's celebrate with a special day. (etc...)

They are a woman based company... "Their Story":

Blue Pumpkin Press was formed when two friends joined together to express their creative vision.

Our company philosophy is simple:
