If you haven’t noticed, we had a really hard time picking out our wedding invitations. After a failed attempt at designing them myself in Adobe Illustrator, I started searching for graphic designers. Mr. B would have probably preferred if we just ordered something online, but I still wasn’t ready to let go of full control over the project.

We caught a break when I found out that there was a designer (gocubbies) in the hive who was willing to design invitations for an inexpensive price as a way to raise money for her own wedding. The samples of her work looked pretty good:

Sample Design 1

Sample Design 2

I didn’t think much of it, but I left my email address just in case. A few days later, Kyndal (gocubbies) wrote me and said she’d love to help design our invitations!

I showed Kyndal a few designs we had in mind and told her we were on the verge of just ordering something, but she said she could create whatever we wanted and (here’s the really awesome part!) design menus, programs, and tables to match –> Whaa?? #ULTIMATEWIN! I’ve always wanted coordinated stationery!

Kyndal and I have been corresponding for months now. She made good on her promise to deliver a design we loved, and she even customized the colors to match our wedding!

Ready for a peek at the final product?

Yay!

I can’t tell you how relieved we are to finally have something. Kyndal was really patient with me during the design process and I have to give her props! I didn’t know what I wanted and she was friendly, fast, and super fun to work with. Not to mention, she’s really affordable. We received numerous quotes for graphic designers and none were as low (or even came close) to her prices. Kyndal does not have a website, but she can be contacted at cursivebykyndal@Gmail.com.

Did you take a chance on a new vendor for your wedding? How did it work out?
