The Lobster Invitations: Just a Post-It?

The Lobster Invitations: Just a Post-It?

I’m behind on completing our invitations. I have a target send date of mid-June which is in 3 weeks. We currently have NO invites. Our guests may just get a handwritten Post-it in the mail with another Post-it to send back. Eek!

Last time in Invitation Wish List, I showed you some things that I want need for our invites. Of course, there is no Wedding Santa and I will not get everything that I want except maybe the Snoopy Sno Cone. Regardless, I have been working with my good friends at 4fifteen who also designed our Brooklyn Bridge Save the Dates.

I sent some on my invitation inspiration from Printable Press including:

Regency. I really like the regality of this one balance with contemporary.

Regency

Black Tie. I liked this look but then someone mentioned how the invite kind of looks like a diploma. So of course, I can only see that now.

Black Tie

Opera. I like this one but it’s too swirly for me.

Opera

Metropolitan. This one screams Lobster.

Metropolitan

Lush Bouquet. This would be very appropriate (color-wise) for the Lobster wedding.

Then there was the gorgeous Balsam Calligraphy from Bella Figura. I just drool every time I see this. The simplicity of the black and white is so us.

Ah, decisions, decisions.

Where did you go for invitation inspiration? Did you know what you wanted or did you put together components from all over?

I loved the Snoopy Snow Cone. Using it are some of my earliest childhood memories.

Is it just me, or do the Regency and the Opera look the same? I can’t tell, but maybe that’s because I’ve been staring at invites for the past few weeks straight trying to make a decision!

@ mareundarum it’s not just you, haha I noticed it too. When you hover over the link for opera it says regency in the bottom internet status bar thing ( :

I love this post regardless, invitations are one of my favourite things to look at! I think I like the yellow one best but I may be biased because I looove florals ; ) Whatever you chose will be gorgeous!

Oooh, I love the Regency and Metropolitan!! How clean and classic/modern (whatever that means.) I may have to snatch these images for my inspiration pages.

I also love the yellow blooms, but dang, that’s bright!

the metropolitan is awesome. i pored over bella figura for inspiration, and then ended up with something totally random.

The metropolitan one seems to match your Save the Date “theme” and the last one is extremely hard to read! Hopefully, we’ll see a post soon about what you decided on!

Ok, phew, glad I wasn’t going into invitation hypnosis or something! The Opera is very pretty, but very….operatic? Sorry, couldn’t resist the attempt. I think it is really swirly, like you said, and maybe not in the same feel as your STDs. Good luck picking though, they are all beautiful!
