Yay! I have the design for my invitations and I'm ready to get started! I knew when we decided to have a DW that I wanted to try and DIY as many things as I could. I'm not creative at all so I had no idea how I was going to be able to pull this off. Enter Weddingbee, my absolute favorite wedding blog. Through reading this site I found this amazing online store where they only sell handmade items (that includes designs and logos that people have created themselves). I stumbled across my invitation designer, Carla, during one of my daily Weddingbee checks; she made invitations for her own wedding and had since been asked to make invitations for her friends. As a result, she decided to open her own shop on Etsy. I ventured over and loved what I saw. Her designs had a really fun, casual vibe that I loved. This wedding is all about having a good time and her invites were perfect. Since I was her first official customer she gave me an amazing deal and agreed to design my invites so that I could add my own touches, print, and put them together myself. I'm so happy I got in on the ground floor and snatched up my invites in the early stages of her shop b/c as some of you may know wedding invites can be pretty pricey. Luckily, I get to control costs by doing all the leg work myself. I can't wait to post pics of the invites once they're done, but that will have to wait a few months, I want our guests to be surprised ;) but here are a couple pics of Carla's work. Enjoy!
