At long last, I can reveal our invitations, as the majority of our guests have received them by now. If you’ve been reading Snapshots and My Thoughts for awhile now, you’ll know that I used Papellerie (formerly Atheneum Creative) to design the invitations and save-the-dates (ours is here). I honestly could not love them more.

Okay, stationery lovers – you know what time it is – the 2013 National Stationery Show is almost here. Oh So Beautiful Paper has posted a few sneak peeks – my favorite so far being Sugar Paper (naturally). I mean, it’s perfect. The Je T’aime card? The gold polka dot notebooks? Dying.
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?
We sent our save-the-dates two weeks ago, and so I think it’s about time I posted some pictures! They were designed by Atheneum Creative, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how they turned out. We picked two custom logos for our stationary – one of them is shown on the wooden bottle below. I am currently “AS” and Sasha is “ASP” (Alexander Sasha Petrovic), and so we’ll become ASP on July 19. We have called each other ASP for awhile now, so we wanted to incorporate this into our logo. Now I cannot wait to help design the invitations!
Ages ago (okay, maybe it was in August – time flies!), I saw the most creative ‘I’ve Moved’ card (if you could call it that). I fell in love – not only because I love maps, but also with the neon pink. What a creative idea! (thoughts continue below)
While browsing Oh So Beautiful Paper, I saw Cristina’s home warming party invitation, and I am officially obsessed. With all the work that’s taking place to The Manor, it’s going to be ages before our house is “pretty party ready.” However, Sasha and I already talk at great lengths about throwing fêtes for every little occasion. The idea of having a party while the house is still ‘Under Construction’ is great – it removes a lot of the stress of making sure everything looks gorgeous. This is most probably going to be replicated in the following months.
