Something Paperless from the Paper-Lover

We’re having a fairly small, relaxed, and super yummy rehearsal dinner. As per our request, Mr. Scissors’ parents are hosting the dinner at one of the local Mexican restaurants. Of course, because I’m obsessed with designing anything that will stand still long enough for me to attack it, they let me do the invitations.

I made them without paper. Shocker, I know. Seeing as I’m pretty at awesome at waiting until the last minute, and seeing that we already had 20,000 things on our plate, I decided to go the interweb invite route.

I had read somewhere before that the rehearsal dinner should stand apart from the wedding stuff, but still have a similar feel.

I took that to mean “drop the super-set wedding theme, and have some fun”. So that’s what I did. Fun and lighthearted, different from our wedding goods, but still goes along the same thread—love, hearts, brights.

I’m also a fan of the fact that I made the text scroll behind the bunting. I think I’m probably the only person that notices this or cares, but it entertains me. It lets me pretend like I’m working with paper!

So there you have ‘em. The paperless invites from the self-proclaimed paper-aholic.

How did you handle the rehearsal dinner invites? Did you go with paper or rebel and ditch it?

Those are so cute! My in-laws hosted the dinner and made the invites for us, which I’m relieved about, because I never could have made something as awesome as this!

Really cute! We also did electronic invites, due to time and lack of it

Love these! I think my favorite part is the hanging hearts from the bunting. Also I quite enjoy the two giant arrows to the Regrets Only, because you know people won’t RSVP properly

We opted for online invites for the reh too! We went the evite route, and I personalized it with photos. We’re having a country-chi cook out, so I used a photo of us in out cowboy hats from our trip to Nashville then I added some cutes pics of our dogs because, well, they’re super cute. So far, everyone’s left funny & thematic reponses. It’s a lowkey rehearsal, so a lowkey invitation seemed MUCH more inline.
