In need of a little joyful reminder? This song has been permanently stuck in my head as of recent. I love it! I’ll post pictures from the shower soon – as soon as I have a moment to breathe. My sister is getting married next week! Chaos + excitement.

Sasha’s sister, aunt and cousin threw me the best shower this Saturday. I had such a great time, and got so many Crate and Barrel packages I don’t know what to do with myself! I spent yesterday writing all 41 ‘thank you’ cards with my new Shutterfly stationery (best discounts ever). I wanted to do a themed hostess gift, and given my love of all things coffee, I decided to go with ‘Thanks a Latte.’ I had way too much fun putting these together! I cannot wait to come up with the next hostess gift. Images and links are below.
1) Thanks a Latte cards by A Paper Affaire, 2) Wooden gift boxes from Paper Source, 3) Designer Coaster Gold from Calypso St. Barth, 4) Monogrammed Mug from Anthropologie, 5) Celestial Coaster from Anthropologie, 6) Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company
I love coming across an invitation or Save the Date set that I’m obsessed with – most of them are found on Oh So Beautiful Paper. In fact, that’s where I found my stationery designer, Atheneum Creative. We met to review some options last Friday, and seriously y’all, I had the hardest time picking because I loved them all. I cannot wait to share pictures!
The other day, I totally fell in love with a craft + hot pink set of Save the Date invitations (here). Are they not gorgeous? And very DIY. That stamp from Antiquaria is amazing.
My older sister is getting married in less than a month, and I could not be more excited for her and her fiance. They chose the most gorgeous wedding location in Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado, which is an hour outside of Durango, where my parents just bought a house. They have rented the entire “town” – which holds 44 guests (small wedding!). The scenery is beautiful, as are the bride and groom. McKenzie and Bryan are coming too, so we’ll spend the weekend gallivanting around Colorado before the wedding on Sunday evening. Check out these pictures on Style Me Pretty – eeps! Cannot wait.
One of the first things that Sasha and I decided on was the fact we wouldn’t have a wedding cake, but would instead have vegan cupcakes. I haven’t eaten eggs in over 10 years, and so I avoid most desserts. We found the best vegan bakery in Oakland, Fat Bottom Bakery, that will be making all of the cupcakes for our wedding (see related post here). I’m meeting with Atheneum Creative today to review the invitation designs – I’m so stinking excited. I’m also going to ask them to help make signs for a variety of things at the wedding – the cupcake stand being one of them. I’ve compiled my five favorite options – how cute are those little individual signs? Have you seen any other creative displays before?
