I looooove getting snail mail (a reason why I was kind of insistent on mailed RSVPs vs. online ones). I recently received this lovely hand addressed invite…
… complete with cute little red eyelets…
… featuring 2 of my favorite colors, in a color combo that I love (dark red and light blue), but didn’t choose for our wedding…
inviting me to my SoCal bridal shower, thrown by my awesome bridesmaids!
(L to R: Crazy-cousin K, Awesome friend J, me, Sister Ramen, Opto school friend H, and UCI friend J)
The theme is “How Sweet it Is”, one of my favorite Motown songs… and since most of my ladies are ALSO huge foodies (and good cooks), I know there will be some amazing grub. I can’t wait to hang out with a huge group of my girlfriends, wear a pretty dress, and get away from school!
This shower isn’t a surprise - mostly because my sister and cousin are both from out of the area, and would need to crash with me, and also because our school schedule is a little crazy sometimes. I can’t believe how much hard work my sister and cousin put into designing and making the Paper-Sourced invites! Aren’t they so cute?
On a slightly-related note… I was changing something on our registry and discovered that PEOPLE ARE BUYING US STUFF!!! Obviously, that’s the point of the registry, but it just made me reallllly excited. 
So now I have to keep myself from stalking the registry… sigh.
What kind of shower theme are you having? Is it a surprise, or did you have a hand in deciding the date?

Lol, I actually have no idea what my bridal shower theme will be, or when it will be held. I’m thinking we still have a while until I have to even think about it. Right..?
two things ~ first, cute invite! second ~ I’m from Fullerton! i don’t live there anymore … but I love it! cheers
Thanks for showing the invite! I was getting ready to make my STDs like that and couldn’t find any inspiration photos. So cute!!!
that’s a great invite! sounds like you’re gonna have a great shower!
I love that song too. : ) And I would be flipping out about the registry as well! Yay for gifts!!!
My BFF/Matron of Honor #1 does catering with her dad & husband so they are making all of my favorite foods. We’re also having cupcakes b/c I am not a big cake eater. It’s not really a theme, it’s more of a brides favorites shin-dig
Sounds like such a cute theme — can’t wait to see pics after your shower!
Love that song! Can’t wait to see how it all came together! Loooove the invites!
An Alice in Wonderland shower! Love the invites and the hand addresses envelopes. Perfect prints are over rated

Miss Ramen, Phoenix
Age and Occupation: 26, Optometry Student
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, Industrial Designer
Engagement Date: January 3, 2009
Wedding Date: December 2009
Venue: Phoenix Art Museum
About Me: I'm an SF-born, Seattle-raised girl, transplanted to Phoenix where I'll be getting married, and planning all the way from Orange County where I go to school (yes, it feels as crazy as it sounds). I loooooove Yogurtland, am slightly very obsessed with all things paper, am heavily addicted to wedding blogs, deeply desire a puppy, thoroughly enjoy cooking, cry when I watch (almost all) movies, thrive on solo car-karaoke, can't stop being sarcastic, am neurotic about taking pictures of almost everything I eat before I eat it, and aspire to travel the world. My super-talented fiance and I are attempting to DIY a majority of our massive (~350 guests) "clean & modern, yet romantic, but completely unexpected, with a teeny dash of vintage" wedding, stay within our not-so-massive budget, and somehow get a really luxe (but still fun!) look/feel at the same time. In music terms (since we're both really into music) think Coldplay meets Motown meets Kanye meets Sinatra.
