    Miss Puppy Love    June 11, 2011   St. Louis, MO

    Oh boy, I am all over the place when it comes to my inspiration. Sometimes, I'm obsessed with all things damask,

    Let's share Invitation Inspiration! :  wedding invitation inspiration 14688747 330

    sometimes I love letterpress and other texture-adding techniques (gah, I wish I was as talented as this bee at embossing!),

    Let's share Invitation Inspiration! :  wedding invitation inspiration 100 1018

    sometimes I'm adament on having pocketfolds and other envelopments, Let's share Invitation Inspiration! :  wedding invitation inspiration 14614443 450

    etc. etc.

    Lately, I've found inspiration in these: Let's share Invitation Inspiration! :  wedding invitation inspiration Dog Themed Wedding Invite

    Granted, this is only inspiration. I just got fell in love with the idea of silhouettes, and since my theme is classic puppy love, I figured I wanted to try and tie in dog silhouettes! I love how, in this set, the bouncy ball kind of ties everything together.

    Here's an example of dog silhouettes.

    Ideally, I would like to use these at the top of the invitations, still have a damask border to the invitations and a classic font. Letterpress would be heavenly, but it would def. break the budget. *Sigh* I'm still leaning towards some type of pocketfold, but if it's out of the budget, I'll live.

    Both of these are lovely, but I'm still undecided.  The top one is from minted.com and I forget where I found the other one.

    These will be our invitations from Printable Press.  The only difference is that we're removing the "wished on a star" part and the script will be in pink and not red.

    Our wedding is going to be a casual garden wedding with a light literary theme.

    They also designed our escort card/bookmark to go along with the invitation suite.

    @clarebee I looooove those!! I've been looking for something that's not a pocket fold, but still a way to hold the pieces together. The ribbon across the top is such a neat idea!

    @color coated - thank you! I love them too! I just ordered the sample the other day and it will be getting here soon - I can't wait!! They are from little lady bug press on etsy! I havent actually started the process with her, but I have emailed with her and she seems really nice to work with!

    So many gorgeous invitations on here ladies!!

    I loved the wooden invites that Oslo Press had.  And I loved this heart from MS Weddings.  So I combined them.

    Gosh.  These ARE gorgeous.  All.  I'm kinda relieved not everyone is DIY! I was feeling kinda guilty and inadquate about to order mine 'cause I was beginning to think all the bees were diy (hehe).  A few random questions 'cause I'm loving script these days too for the names especially:

    krissybee-- what script font is that for your names? gorgeous

    and Abee -- do you know the script font in the second invite sample? though I like the first one from minted.com better!  thanks.

    @joebeth - i felt the same way that maybe I should DIY - but then I realized that it is NOT worth it to me! I just dont have the patience to sit there and do all of it and I know that I would be very hard on myself about them not being perfect!! I am happy because I will be able to customize my design and have it made by a professional!
