After sending our STDs, it was time to move on to the invitations. Early on, I had a few favorite bits and pieces from invitations but nothing that felt just right to purchase (or even create) as a full set. Everything was beautiful, but just not quite “us.”

I love that these invitations featured the font Strangelove (a favorite font of mine) and the wrap around mailing labels.

I love the RSVP cards from this invitation set! I would much rather send something fun like this (and leave space for a little note from friends and family) than send the “yes” or “no” options.
Regatta Wedding Invitations by Oscar & Emma From Minted Paper Goods via Lover.ly
This invitation grabbed my attention because of the anchor, something that I love and really wanted to incorporate into our wedding—especially the paper goods.
So while that left us with a lot of inspiration and bits and pieces to use, it really didn’t leave us with a set idea of “okay, let’s work off of this design.” Off to Pinterest I went, where I hoped to find something that would allow me to incorporate all these different pieces into one invitation.
I did find something there…but first, what do you think of the few items we planned to incorporate?
Great inspiration choices! I especially love the rsvp options. 
I love the font on the first ones, but is not something I’d feel like incorporating in our wedding, it just doesn’t go with the vibe. That is the tricky part, is not just about what you like, it’s about what fits.
I love those! I used a very similar font (Canoe) to write on our chalkboards.
Can’t wait to see what you picked
@almost-mrsp: I do too! I think they’re so fun, and I can’t wait to see what our family and friends end up sending back to us, haha.
@Miss Toadstool: Very true! As you’ll see, it didn’t quite end up working the way I planned…
@Miss Wallaby: Now I have to go look that font up!
I love the “regretfully attend, gladly decline.” Very tongue-in-cheek!
Guests love fun rsvps too! Can’t wait to see how you incorporate these fun things into your invites!
I love the fun RSVPs.. I kind of wish we had a little space on ours for guests to write or doodle things, since they always seem so cute when I see others blog about them!
I love all the fun elements you hope to incorporate: the wrap-around designs, the fun RSVPs, the top font, and the anchor. Can’t wait to see how you combine them!!
From a fellow Indy bride-to-be (and also we booked Mustard Seed Gardens) I just wanted to say hi! I came across your blog while searching for anything and everything I could find about Mustard Seed Gardens. I will be following your journey to the big day!
Mrs. Otter, Indianapolis, IN Age and Occupation: 22, Freelance Social Media Consultant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, CVS Shift Supervisor Engagement Date: November 11, 2011 Wedding Date: April 2013 Venue: Mustard Seed Gardens About Me: I'm a born and raised Hoosier girl, but a diehard Michigan Wolverines fan. I have a tendency to take too many photos and spend full days having TV marathons. Mr. Otter and I met in high school, started dating a couple years later, and moved in after a month of being official. He is easygoing and makes plans on a whim, while I'm color coordinating my planner and organizing everything in sight. He hates glitter, but it's my favorite thing. I have tattoos and he still won't get one, despite my attempts to convince him. We're planning a small, rustic, and (hopefully!) peony-filled wedding to get our married life started. (And yes, there will be glitter involved!)
