I stayed away from using “We Have STDs” as the title for this post because I’m trying to be mature. Really. But as I typed “Wedding Packages,” I ended up laughing to myself anyway.
I tried.
Anyway! We did get some exciting wedding packages the other day, and one of them was a box full of STDs! (OK, that’s pretty funny.) I’ve already raved about how great Laurie from Lucky Bee Press is, but the sweet packaging and thoughtful extras included in her shipment really took my adoration to another level. Take a peek!
Perfectly packaged with a personal note on top! So cute. And check out the bee stamp!
River Dog inspection
More adorableness (Washi tape AND twine? Too cute!)
Lucky Bee even included a free set of letterpress coasters! Perfect for the rehearsal dinner, no?
Ta-da!
So pretty. Now I just need to send them. Eeeep.
I am SO pleased with the way our STDs turned out. The cute packaging and great presentation from Lucky Bee made me super excited to get them out to our guests. They really looked better than I had even imagined. But guess what? That wasn’t the only package that arrived! We also got…
Our first wedding present!!! Yay! (Sorry, there’s a lot of !!! in this post. I was very excited.)
So exciting! I felt like I was part of the Friends episode where Monica goes crazy and opens all of Chandler’s and her wedding gifts. I was good, though, and waited for Sparks to get home. So, what could it be?
Why, it’s a margarita pitcher and four glasses! Perfect to use on our new rooftop deck! I can’t wait until it’s warm enough to invite some friends over, cook out, and have some summery drinks.
Do you remember what your first wedding gift was? Anyone else recently get their invites/STDs in the mail?
Your Save-the-Dates came out beautifully! And, what an amazing extra with those coasters! o.O Our first wedding gift was a centerpiece bowl from C & B. 
Looooove the Save the Dates! They look awesome!
Our first gift was our mixer, which I am obsessed with. I’ve only used it a few times, but every time I walk into the kitchen and see it, it makes me giggle for some reason
Ooooh that drink set is dreamy! So pretty! And your letterpress - !!! Can’t wait to see your invitation suite if just the STDs (heh) are that lovely!
We got our first wedding gift a few weeks ago, but haven’t gotten to open it yet since it was delivered to FMIL Hyena’s house! We need to go get it!
Thanx for the link to Lucky Bee, and will definitely give her a look-see. When I see such attention to detail (not to mention such great customer appreciation), that’s the kind of company I want to throw my money at.
Love you save the dates and yay for first gifts! It’s so exciting to get them in the mail!
Love your STD’s, especially since they’re Chicago themed.
omg looove those coasters! and your save the dates came out sooo awesome!!
we got a few gifts at our engagement party.. the two that stand out the most was a set of Mikasa martini glasses (that inspired the rest of my drink ware) and two champagne flutes from the FIL’s that we’ll use at the wedding
My first wedding gift was a donation on Honeyfund. It being the first, I didn’t realize I’d get an email (nor did I realize the ZOMG! Pavlovian response I’d come to associate with such emails.)
I might go out on a limb and say it just as fun getting the notifications as it was getting the gifts!
Oooh, the save the dates are gorgeous — and I am totally jealous of your margarita pitcher! The first gift we got was our Cuisinart Grind ‘n Brew coffeemaker — we still use it every day and I love it!
@Crown: I feel the same way! I’m so glad I found LB, they are really such a great little company
@Miss Candy Apple: What an AWESOME first gift!
Thanks for all the sweet compliments on the std’s! Now I really need to send them haha.
I looooooove those coasters! I’d like to get something like that for my shower.
Super fun wedding packages!!! Your STDs look so awesome, the coasters are a nice surprise and woo hoo for your first present!!! Ours was flatware– not as fun. =)
Drooling over your letterpress!!
Our first registry present was a Vinturi (wine aerator) from newlyweds who I’d just help buy their first house. Also, I am in love with your glass pitcher; just asked Mr. P why it was not on our list. Big pouty face.

Mrs. Sparkler, Chicago Age and Occupation: 27, Communications Aficionado Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Publisher Engagement Date: July 21, 2010 Wedding Date: September 2011 Venue: Chicago Illuminating Company About Me: I’m a Southern lady living in the big city of Chicago. Well, lady may be a stretch, but I’m working hard to keep some Virginia charm in our sleek, urban, wedding-palooza! I’m addicted to marathons, not-so-famous bands, Chicago restaurants, and Mark Twain. I cry during SPCA commercials, and I think LOST was the best show to ever hit television. Mr. S and I met at a classy college mixer and, 7 years later, he’s still by my side. He’s the only child, laid back, free spirit... I’m the oldest of five kids, type-A, organizer. It doesn’t work on paper, but we’ve never paid attention to that stuff anyway. Somehow it works. And like they say, sometimes when you know…you just know.
