I’m in full-on favor mode now, and I’m definitely making my own. I, like many of my fellow brides-to-be, am making the most of my creativity and resourcefulness as a result of this fantastic recession we’re in (a blessing in disguise for my wedding, at least, though certainly not for my parents’ savings and 401K).

Inviting Favor Tags by Invited Ink
Tuesday, February 17, 2009
I was wandering around Etsy the other day – for my own purposes, not for research! – and stumbled across these delightful little tags from Invited Ink that would be perfect for favor tags. I like them so much, I’m thinking of using them myself! At a paper weight of 600gsm, it’s a pretty substantial [...]
Pretty, Pretty Penmanship from Emilie Friday
Wednesday, February 11, 2009
If you recall, the other week I featured Lettergirl‘s self inking address stamps on the Etsy Details Roundup. Emi was kind enough to write me about her own stamps available on Etsy at Emilie Friday’s Paperie. They’re not all return address stamps, but they can be used in a lot of great ways in your [...]
Tradition!
Tuesday, February 10, 2009
Vus machs da, modern Jewish brides? Okay, that was a bit of a fail on my part, though no, I’m not technically a shiksa. My parents are Jewish, and though I consider myself an athiest, the Yiddish never really leaves does it? I’ll consider it “street cred” for this post. I was clicking through a [...]

Alright, so we’re going to be really invitations-heavy in terms of subject matter this week, but I had to post this today. As I mentioned yesterday, I got mine in last week but had put off sharing with you all to give Nole from Oh So Beautiful Paper the opportunity to have first dibs on [...]
The Most Awesome Invitation. Ever.
Tuesday, February 3, 2009
As much as I love my invitations (which I just got the other day back from Hello!Lucky… more on that later), I think I nearly died and went to heaven when I saw this on the Merriment Design blog: This fantastic invitation is actually a book, designed by the bride (a graphic designer) with the [...]

The Profile of A Great Gift – or Favor
Thursday, January 22, 2009
A little over a year ago, I was art directing a photo shoot for work and my floral stylist, a former stylist at Martha Stewart Weddings, started telling me about her wedding. She had Karl Johnson, a silhouette artist, cutting portraits at her wedding, which her guests received as favors after sitting for them. I [...]
Invitations 101
Sunday, January 4, 2009
Your invitations are an incredibly important part of your wedding. Not only do they deliver the most important information to your guests, but their style and design also show off the tone of event. There’s a lot of different printing methods, design styles, paper types and weights, and other options for you to consider, so [...]
