...Moo Cards...

While browsing through the blog entries on Paper + Cup Design blog, we came across this lovely little post for a save the date incorporating mini moo cards & bakers twine! It was love at first sight. If you haven't heard about mini moo cards, boy oh boy are you in for a treat today! mini moo cards are 1 inch x 3 inches and the front and back are totally customizable. This bride & groom chose various childhood pictures to adorn the front of their mini moo cards. The back of the card simply stated "kelly + terrell. tying the knot. october 11, 2008." The mini moo cards were then placed on the save the date card {picture up} and affixed to the card with a little bakers twine. The end result, as you can see from the first picture in this post, is quite adorable.

P.S. There are many other wedding-related uses for mini moo cards! Put your engagement pictures on them and place them at each place setting for a keepsake for your guests. Leave them outside your photo booth with the web address they can visit to see the photo booth {or wedding} pictures! Or, tie them to your favors as a little added personal touch!

...Tag It...

What first caught our eyes while browsing through the pictures from this wedding were pictures of the beautiful table settings. What we found were the most darling gifts/favors for guests that we have seen in quite a long time. The favor/gift to each guest was a personalized set of letterpress stationary {made by the bride herself!}. The stationary was set inside a lovely turquoise box tied with an orange ribbon and adorned with a tag displaying the name of the guest. Oh, and the favors also included a glass vial of Spanish Paprika that doubled as a place card holder! Wouldn't you just love to be a guest at this wedding!?

Let's just squeeze in one more little picture of the darling tags, shall we?the lovely paper goods of jennifer & christian found via: style me pretty

...Mason Jar Bride...

Jessica of mason jar bride recently posted a few lovely photos of the save the dates that she created for her upcoming October wedding. They are so charming, unique and so unexpectedly simple that we just had to show you all.
Each save the date was constructed out of cardboard, a little ribbon & lace and a LABEL! The back side of the save the date {not pictured} had a label with the recipients address along with the required postage stamp.
Thank you Jessica for sharing your lovely save the dates with us! You can read more about the construction of these save the dates here.

...Giddy Ink: Invitations...

I cannot remember how I came across Giddy Ink, but we have been eagerly awaiting the launch of their brand new website to share their work with all of you!
Below is my favorite invitation suite, "The Julie."

This save the date is just adorable. See the "US" popping out from August?! So clever.
The invitation suite as a whole is just darling. Soft and feminine and intricately tied together. Any bride would be more than giddy to mail these invitations out to her guests.

Here's just a little bit about what Giddy Ink is all about: "We at Giddy Ink are, well, giddy about design. Our backgrounds are in advertising and design and we have worked with the most elite marketers in the world. We think that that experience has made us smarter about the designs we create, starting with the pure essence of your event as the inspiration for our designs, and working relentlessly to transcend that to paper."

To Meg & the ladies at Giddy Ink, congratulations on your new website release! We look forward to working with you in the future!
