...Unfolding Goodness...

Heather over at we met in a bar recently posted a mock-up of her programs. We are smitten, even though it is just a mock-up.
If you can get past the lovely ribbon to open up the program, you won't believe your eyes when it unfolds before you. The four paneled program features "The {Wedding} Party," "The Ceremony," "Special Thanks" and "Reception" details.

And to think that this is just the mock-up! Stay tuned for the real programs, we'll be sure to feature them! Thanks for the unfolding goodness, Heather!

...Invitation Booklet...

Be still our little pretty hearts. When a Bride has the patience, vision and the know-how to make an invitation booklet like the one below for her guests, she gets an "A+" in our book. Have a little looksie at this stunning keepsake:
The book details how the couple met, the story of their relationship and how he proposed with adorable little illustrations sprinkled throughout.
The last few pages of the book contain the wedding invitation, important details and a perforated and stamped RSVP card.

If you have a couple extra minutes on-hand while planning your wedding {ha!}, why not put your design skills to work and craft a similar keepsake invitation booklet for your guests to fawn over for years!? {Instructions can be found here}

...Studio On Fire...

When we saw this little gem on black eiffel via oh happy day, we just had to know all the beautiful details about it. Turns out the bride & groom co-designed these invitations, can you believe it?!

The long folding letterpress card perforates apart for the RSVP return {our favorite part of the invitation suite}. The fabric that you see {below} is the actual invitation, which was gocco'd onto a piece of fabric. The fabric was then stitched onto the letterpress card by the bride & her Mom.

The end result is so adorable that we almost want to learn how to sew. Almost.

...Flying High...

One of our all time favorite stationary/invitation designers would be chewing the cud {featured here and here}. So today we bring you the "All Aboard" invitation suite, perfect for a destination wedding or a couple that is known for their love of traveling or flying.
The invitation and thank you card both feature an adorable vintage prop plane, which would make for a cute motif to carry thoughout your big day. The RSVP card is decked out with stylish suitcases which are packed and ready to make their way to your wedding celebration, naturally.
We're sure your guests will adore this invitation suite from chewing the cud weddings!

...Kraft Paper & Buttons...

If you would have told me that one of my favorite invitations of all time would be made out of brown kraft paper with stitched on fabric and a couple of buttons, I would have thought that you were crazy. But, my friends, these invitations are second to none in my book.Are you kidding me with those playful buttons {from here}?!The suite, as a whole, is just darling and would be such a delight to receive.
So, grab some buttons and get "krafty," this idea would work for all sorts of invitations {baby showers, bachelorette parties, etc.}!
