    MissKatelyn    July 9, 2011   Live in Westchester, NY / wedding near Portland, OR

    I live in NY but am getting married in my homestate of Oregon. My venue is actually in Oregon City, which many of you are probably familiar with if you ever played the game Oregon Trail. So i decided that it would be fun to play that up and have people feel like they were going on the Oregon Trail to the wedding. One of my bridesmaids is a graphic designer and she did these up for me. :)

    There is text about our wedding website and a few other things on the other side.

    Aah!! I love it! What a cute idea. I majorly <3 Oregon. Went to OSU and many of my old friends + FI's family live in Portland. Just spent 2 weeks there for the holidays! I'm sure you love NY but that's so awesome that you're having your wedding in Oregon!

    Hopefully none of your guests die of dysentery on their way! Just kidding. Well kind of, it would be terrible if anyone got dysentery. Cute idea!!

    haha, I've been avoiding opening this thread for the last couple hours because I was afraid this might be a hot mess, and I may still harbour resentment that I've NEVER won that game without all my kids dying... BUT those are super cute!

    I'm so glad you like them and that they aren't a "hot mess"! LOL. I didn't really think that my subject line might turn people away!
