Word to the wise: Do not order samples from your favorite invitation company when you don’t actually have the money to order them… unless you want to end up like me.

See, it all started when Mrs. Bee posted about the gorgeous invitations over at Kenzie Kate. Being a big fan of something old, something new, I had seen the website before. But Mrs. Bee’s post happened to coincide with my recent decision not to make my own invitations, so I checked it out again.

I was playing around on the site, admiring the beautiful designs when I came across the The Palm Springs design. Needless to say, it was love at first sight.

So I thought I would order a sample. It was inexpensive and so easy. How could a girl resist? I’d almost forgotten I’d ordered them until I found the package in my mailbox today. And boy oh boy was I in for a treat.

I knew from the beginning that the Kenzie Kate invitations were just a bit too rich for my blood, but I can’t help but gush about them a bit, for any of you brides still looking for those perfect invites.

This is what I found when I opened the package: complete with chocolate colored tissue and a note from Mackenzie herself.

Yes, it is as pretty in person as it looks on the Kenzie Kate site. The yellow is bright and vivid, perfectly paired with the modern grey pattern. And the ribbon accent? Just too cute for words.

The site allows you to choose two invitations to be sent in the sample, so I also got Aberdeen because it was so pretty.

It turns out Aberdeen is just as dreamy, with creamy cardstock and rich colors. Mr. Chickadee actually liked this one better than the Palm Springs!

So, anyone out there choosing Kenzie Kate for your invites? Which design did you go with?

Or, anyone like me and fall in love with something completely impractical? Come on, tell me all your guilty wedding pleasures!
