More Options!

I'm super excited to announce that I am now offering more handmade options for invitations!  Today's brides are very into having wedding invitations that are uniquely their own, and buying handmade is becoming more and more popular.  My newest listing features one of my favorite pairings: burlap + lace.


The invitation itself is flat-printed and the background is a design made to resemble burlap and lace, but it will arrive in style with a chocolate brown envelope and handmade belly band of real burlap, lace and raffia:


Included in the set is also an outer envelope in cream so that the belly band remains intact in the mail.  The band slides off easily so guests can open the invitation without damaging the gorgeous lace.

I'm currently working on some more handmade options, including a fun new baby shower invitation.  Check back soon!

So This Is Love

I went to a friend's wedding last night that was so perfectly made for her and her husband and it kicked my wedding-invitation designing into overdrive!  So this morning I designed a new invitation inspired by one of the most romantic stories of all time.


I grew up knowing that when it came time for me to get married, I wanted to be a princess on my wedding day.  I chose a dress based on Belle's dress from Beauty and the Beast, rode in a horse-drawn carriage, and I used lots of pink in my decorating.  The best part, though?  Finding my prince who didn't mind letting me be a princess.  :)

Even if you don't want to incorporate princesses into the wedding itself, why not have a princess-themed bridal shower to let you and your best friends be as girly as you want?


Check back soon for new birthday party invitations!

Facebook Fan Giveaway!

So sorry for the lack of posts this month.  My husband and I are making a cross-town move and between orders and packing, I've not had much time for anything else!

From July 29 until August 8, my Etsy shop will be in vacation mode while I set up our new house (which includes my own office, yay!).  I will have access to my email, which will be listed in the shop announcement at the top of the page.

I am one week away from my shop's first anniversary, so when I come back, I will have an anniversary sale!  In the meantime, I've just announced my first giveaway on my Facebook page, which you can find here.  Once I reach 100 fans, every fan will be entered into a drawing to receive 50 free personalized business cards or calling cards!  So please spread the news and let's see how fast we can make this happen!  :)

I can't wait to get back into full swing!

Flowers, Flowers Everywhere!

It's been such a gorgeous week here that I was itching to create some flower-inspired wedding invitations.  While I obviously have a soft spot for daisies, I'm an equal-opportunity flower lover, so my newest designs feature some more of my favorite flowers: sunflowers and lilies!



This past week was insanely busy, as I fulfilled two of my largest orders to-date!  I'm definitely going to enjoy this holiday weekend before I start working on two more large orders early next week.  Happy Independence Day to everyone in the United States and Happy (belated) Canada Day to our friends a little farther north!  :)
