Oh Boy… THE Invites

June 20th, 2011 @ 8:43 am by Mrs. Sparkler

This has been an insanely busy week for the Sparklers! We’ve checked so many wedding tasks off of our to-do list, and this thing is finally starting to feel real! We’ve finalized our rehearsal plans, seen our table mock-ups, bought our tickets to Hawaii for the honeymoon, and SO much more. I can’t wait to share it all with you! But first, I HAVE to show you the most exciting part of this whole planning frenzy we’ve been in. Seemingly out of nowhere, I received an email I’ve been waiting on for months. THE INVITES WERE READY.

Yep. I have a little secret to spill…we splurged on our invites. Um, big time. Our pocketbooks might be aching, but our hearts are totally bursting with happiness. They turned out so beautifully! I’m way too excited to show you, and there’s no way I can wait until they all are sent out to do that, so here’s the tiniest of previews:

Could it be a city skyline? Dominos? A close up of River Dog’s face? I’ll let you try and figure it out. :) While you’re thinking, here’s a peek at the hand lettering:

Now you might be recognizing something! At least Mrs. Ostrich, and perhaps Miss Candy Apple?

I’m sorry to be such a tease! Forgive me, hive! Get ready to relive the crazy planning week Sparks and I just had. Much more coming right up!

Looks like Anna Bond’s work. I have been coveting her beautiful, unique, soooo cute invitations for years but unless I win the lottery I don’t see it happening in the foreseeable future for me.
