our wedding invitations were so near & dear to my heart.
from the beginning, i knew i wanted them to be in my handwriting. i wanted to see the words "announce the marriage of" & our names in my handwriting. the same as i had doodled it since we got engaged. {ok, maybe earlier. maybe :)}
so i wrote it over & over & over... & over & over & over...
& then i got graph paper & practiced it over & over & over...
with a little help from cari suggesting how to actually get it accomplished & from ben brilliantly noticing my first attempt's miss of the word "to" {before printing, thank God!}, they came out perfectly us.
{the invite}
{the reply card}
{the fancy doily inner envelope -
martha's idea!}
so, brides, whatever that big thing is you want to do for your wedding but have no idea how to do it & know it is a little off - do it. dream big. & you'll be so happy.
love love,
kjp.
So fun to see yours again, today, as beau & cara's are sitting in front of me ready to be addressed! As with every other detail of your wedding, your invitations were personal, special & darling :)
ReplyDeleteYour handwriting is AMAZING Kendall. We got a card from you while I was visiting the parents in Iowa and I thought it was a typed font!
ReplyDeleteTell Blake his cousin says hi!
Love this idea! I feel like your handwriting has always been an art form - even when we were kids. And I think you should totally create your own font :)
