Fabric Invites

I really enjoy unique wedding invitations (ours featured here) – the recent trend that has caught my eye is having fabric invitations and/or save-the-dates. Whether it be a screen pressed invitation, a fabric pouch for the paper, or a custom printed handkerchief, the different material adds a special element to the set. I’ve put together some of my favorite examples below, including a site where you can order all sorts of custom fabric invitations for a very reasonable price. Click here to shop.

Baby Shower Invites + Decor

Often people pick a party theme, then search for the invitation. Stationery lovers may be inclined to reverse that process (i.e. I totally would). While babies aren’t on my brain personally, lots of Sasha’s friends either have kids or are ready to have them soon, so I’ve been on the lookout for good baby shower material. I found these gorgeous three shower invites on Minted, and decided to brainstorm decorations to complement the cards. BHLDN is the ultimate place for cake stands, vases, garlands, etc. Wedding planning is over, but party planning is ongoing!

St. Germain + Oh So Beautiful Paper

Oh So Beautiful Paper just announced a summer cocktail series with St. Germain (um, what? dream collaboration come true). Nole has been posting fun St. Germain drinks for awhile, but these new recipes look amazing. I’m not drinking until the wedding, but you’d better believe that I’ll be trying all of these post-July 19! The illustrations and photography are also incredible.

Rifle Paper Co. Hostess Gifts

Two of Mum’s friends threw me a wedding shower on Sunday, so I bought/made them little ‘thank you’ gifts. For my last shower, I went with a “Thanks a Latte” theme for the presents. However, for this shower, I was totally inspired by everything Rifle Paper Co, so I bought the Rosalie notepad and Gold Floral thank you card, which I paired with a muslin bag from Paper Source. I tied everything together with some of my favorite yard, added a monogram label (bought here) and added a gift card to one of our favorite (and local!) restaurants – Jonathan’s the Rub. I love this stuff so much!
