About Mrs. Bear Cub

I don’t know how much this has floated around the wedding circles, but if you haven’t seen it yet, you should! Especially if you’re in the thick of making your invitations.

I have a hunch nearly every bride goes through a “make the invites” roller coaster like this -

  1. Catalog all your favorite invitation examples - show to your fiancé
  2. Fiancé doesn’t like any of these ideas - try to think outside the box (puzzles, songs, tattooed goldfish)
  3. Sulk for a while - this is hard stuff!
  4. Just get it over with already (your first intuition was probably best, anyways)

Where are you on the invitations roller coaster?

LOL - I just went through something similar to this with my STD cards! Maybe I should call up our local art institute and see if any students would be willing to work on our video? Super cute idea.

I went through the entire roller-coaster and eventually just gave in to what he chose. It was easier. We made the agreement on what, if we were stuck and unable to agree on soemthing, he could choose what and I could choose what. He could choose the invites and cake. And I chose everything else!

That’s cute! Would definitely appeal to the younger crowd.

Ours are all designed (with the exception of a few minor details), now I just need to find a printer!
