I LOVE getting our RSVPs back. Anyone with me on this one? It is so much fun to get mail every day, and even more fun when they write a little note on the RSVP card. However, when I opened my mailbox the other day, I also found a surprise package waiting for me.
I tore in the envelope and found this. Hm, curious.
But look at how cute our names look. We’d better check inside.
Hm, color?
Wow!
All pictures are personal photos
Our wonderful map artist, Crystal Kluge, had made two watercolor renditions of our map and sent us both copies. I think they are both so uniquely beautiful, I can’t decide which one I like more. These will make a wonderful keepsake from our wedding. I am thinking about framing them both together, kind of like a Warhol. What do you think? Do you have any thoughts about what to do with these beautiful pieces of art?
Have you received any surprise mail lately?
What a wonderful suprise! They are both so pretty, I understand the difficulty in choosing. 
They’re SO pretty! I wish a custom map would fit in our budget - I LOVE the way they look!
These are great! What a nice surprise. My save-the-date designer and printer sent us a keepsake printed on thicker more luxe paper. I thought it was a really lovely gesture.
Oh my gosh, they’re so great! How wonderful! I would definitely frame them both and put them in different spots in your house! I did my own map, but I’m thinking of rendering it in watercolor now, because of your post. They’re soooo beautiful!
THIS IS SO SWEET AND THOUGHTFUL. i am tearing up! definitely frame. i think this would be perfect in a guest bathroom and what a great conversation starter!
or maybe use them as covers for your wedding photo album?
i really need to add that i truly love that you have a “map artist.”
I like the one with blue water and green land. It seems logical.
I totally agree, that one just feels a little more cheerful and it’s deff the one I gravitated to first.
I love these!!!! Do you know if she does them for areas outside of NY. Like colorado? If so I would LOVE her contact info!
Oh and I def. Like the first one the best but would frame them both!
oh! what a great surprise! i like the first one but i would definitely try to find a way to display both of them
@Miss Sweet Tea: I think she will do almost anywhere! You can find her at http://www.crystalkluge.com…enjoy!
maybe you could commission the artist to paint a third for your home, and gift each of these to your parents.
How fun! Checking mail got significantly less interesting for me for about a week after the RSVP deadline hit… but then got re-interesting because of presennnttssss!
How gorgeous are those! Rethinking my invitation plans . . .
what a nice surprise! they’re lovely and will be so nice to have as a keepsake.
