Hello all,
This has been an incredible week to say the least. Especially with Hurricane Ike sweeping through the Texas Gulf. Our hearts go out to those who were majorly hit by the hurricane. I was blessed not to have any major damages other than a 3-day power outage and minor fence damage. I also worked really hard to save my tiny tree :) ... it barely made it!!!
Despite the hurricane, we had to work through getting some work done this weekend i.e. Kathryn's boxed invitations and Sarah & Gavin's wedding program and table cards. Her wedding is this weekend and I couldn't just imagine how nervous she was with the weather situation the way it is. But she was very happy that we completed her programs in time for her wedding!!!
Here are a few tips for going custom on wedding invites (courtesy of The Knot Texas Magazine)
Enjoy...
1. Approach the design process as a collaborative effort and with an open mind.
2. Pick you “consultants”. Other than your fiancé, who will weigh in on the decision-making? Try not to bring more than two extra people to your appointments. Avoid design by committee.
3. Make sure the wedding style and taste is well-suited to the designer.
4. Be proactive to get what you want.
5. Know when to say enough is enough. Embellishments may add an elegant touch, but too many could be overkill on an already beautiful invitation.
6. Don’t exhaust all your creativity on the save-the-dates. Remember, you don’t want your other elements, like the invitations, menus and ceremony programs to compete.
That's it for now; enjoy the weekend; we plan to do just that :) !!!
