I’m not saying this is KK and Tyler’s wedding invitation…but it COULD be…As reported, Tyler proposed on the lake at his family’s lake home, while they were fishing…something they both love.  The above invitation was shared with you in black and white.  I couldn’t reproduce it in color, and do it justice.

And where was this gem found?  KK and Tyler found it on…etsy.com  And what is etsy.com? you ask…

Well…according to Wikipedia,

“Etsy is a peer-to-peer (P2P) e-commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items and supplies, as well as unique factory-manufactured items under Etsy’s new guidelines, released in October 2013. These items cover a wide range, including art, photography, clothing, jewelry, food, bath and beauty products, quilts, knick-knacks, and toys. Many sellers also sell craft supplies such as beads, wire and jewelry-making tools. All vintage items must be at least 20 years old.[3] The site follows in the tradition of open craft fairs, giving sellers personal storefronts where they list their goods for a fee of US$0.20 per item.[4]

What I love about etsy.com, is that as a consumer, you are supporting small businesses.  And as a discriminating consumer, I appreciate etsy’s quality, excellent customer service, attention to detail and unique options.

KK found gogosnap.com, and I found Julie- the creative genius behind it.  I truly appreciate the hand-holding I received, the immediate response to queries, the high quality of work – and most importantly the personal touch.

Considering a “Save the Date”? gogosnap.com has a wide variety of options.  What about wedding ceremony programs?  Check out gogosnap.com!  KK and I have already decided to order her wedding programs from gogosnap.com  What will she choose…???  Well, I can’t say…but you will be the first to know after the wedding.  🙂

Innovative Wedding Invitations

Would you consider one of these innovative wedding invitations? The can above is 200912221002

adorable.  It even comes with it’s own instructions.  Here’s the drill…Select the wording for your invitation, the “can company” inserts the invite and seals the can.  You then mail the can in the box provided to your guests.  They “Pop” it open upon receipt, and save the tin can to attach to your “get away car” after the reception.    Sound like more trouble than it’s worth…that’s what I was thinking….

1-handmade-wedding-invitations-ideasThe “bride and groom invite” is my favorite among this group. I think it’s cute while still being classic.  Planning a destination wedding with a beach theme?  Then the “Flip Flop” invites are for you!  If your wedding’s formal…you may want to reconsider.  Upon receipt the guest realizes immediately your wedding will be a relaxed affair…

3I love, love this “pop up church” wedding invitation.  The only downside, think of the cost per invite.  I’m sure they’re not cheap… not to mention the extra postage charge!  Feeling a little playful? What about the “Spinner Invitation” below? While cute, I think it would be more in keeping with a bridal shower or bachelorette party.  Whatever you decide, allow time for shipping, printing, (reprinting for possible misstates!), and the time consuming addressing and stuffing of the envelopes.  If you chose to have a calligrapher address your invitations, his/her time must be factored in as well.
