I’ve been obsessed with wedding invitations lately. I know, I know. What else is new?

It’s crazy. I feel like a German shepherd looking for a missing child. Seriously, that’s how I feel. Whenever I see invitations, my ears perk up, my sense of smell improves, and my eyes pop out a little. I feel like I need to find them. Like I should have found them yesterday.

I know it’s going to take me aaawwwhhiillleee to decide on our invites. It takes me aaawwwhhhiiilllleee to decide on pretty much everything, so the invitations (being one of the most important elements of our wedding) are hardly an exception. I worry that if I don’t find them and the time comes when we have to order something, I’m going to be a ball of tears crying, “But, but, I don’t know what I want!”

Like many of you, my search began on the Internet. I searched thousands of stationery websites—thousands, I tell ya! Who knew stationery was such a booming buisness?

I even ordered samples! I’ve ordered about a dozen, hoping each time those would be the ones. I only really like one of the samples I ordered, and it’s from Wedding Paper Divas:

My other inspiration is solely from online. I haven’t seen these in person, but I still think they deserve a spot among my favorites. Remember the invitations I swore were perfect a few weeks back (see my post about it here)? The pretty green and peach ones I absolutely adore! Here’s a picture to jog your memory:

Well, I think I can add the Whimsical Scroll Wedding Invitations from Blush Paperie to my invitation-inspiration file. See below.

Purple is definitely not my color, but the good news is that fonts and colors are customizable! Yippee! Look at the same invitation in our colors:

Gorgeous, no? Big difference, huh?

Way big difference. I love this design in the green and pink. It’s festive, feminine, and do you see those butterflies?!? Where did they come from? They weren’t on the original design, but I love them! These were obviously made for me! They are subtle and go really well with our garden theme…

Could these be the ones for us? More to come on this later.

How did you decide on your invitations?
