Last March, shortly after we got engaged, I proposed bridesmaid-ship to six of my girlfriends. (You can see how I asked them here.) Since March 24th, they have been sending me fun gifts on the 24th of each month as a countdown to our wedding on April 24, 2010. It's beyond generous of them and I get so excited when sweet package arrives every month.
One of my bridesmaids, Erin, is getting married on July 1st. We are keeping the countdown tradition alive for her wedding as well. I kicked off the gifts on November 1st with a stationery set that she and her finance, David, can use as "thank yous" for all the little things that happen between now and the wedding. Their colors are oranges and corals and reds – the wedding is taking place in Maui.
If custom stationery is something you are interested in, I have created a few listings on etsy. I was sad when the price of letterpress rental went up and I had to take down my custom letterpress stationery options. This is a good substitute for now (fingers crossed I can find my own press) and gives me a bit more freedom over the text layout and you a less expensive custom printing option. Feel free to email or convo me with questions.
Happy Thursday and happy ampersands.
