[Voila] Invitations


Our finished invitations (blurred for privacy).
Inspiration here.

When Taro proposed, he used a short fairytale based on our own relationship.  When the wedding planning started, we wanted to capture that moment somehow - warm and whimsical.  My friend Angel designed our invitations with this idea in mind.  In order to save trees and money, we signed up with WeddingWire.com to host our website and rsvp.  Since the URL would be too long for our RSVP bookmarks, we just purchased the domain - a small cost compared to rsvp stamps costs.

  2. haha, of course we also had to over order since we had NO idea how many we'd messed up. but the paper can go to other things, such as the program and table menus.

    just wait, when it's your turn -- i bet even bigger and better craft things will come out. oh the fun we'll have crafting together!!
