Greenbeanbaby creates whimisical pieces of art entirely out of bits of paper. She sells handmade bridal shower invitations at her etsy shop, but also does some custom invitation work.

I finally got my save the dates in from Tag and Company. This particular style, the one we chose, is called “luxe.”

They’re really great quality and relatively cheap too - only $3 per invite/save the date. This company specializes in save the dates, but they’re perfectly willing to change the wording to make it into a formal wedding invitation for free. They’re great and come…

Mr. Caterpillar and I attended the Sapuquezes’ wedding in mid August. By the end of August, we had a thank you note filled with lovely handwriting and heartfelt sentiments. Mr. Caterpillar and I are not the Sapuquezes. We have yet to write a single thank you note.

I’m tempted to blame our lack of thank you notes on our current homelessness, but I’m pretty sure more…

I just got Miss Butterfly’s shower invite in the mail! (Sorry it’s a bit wrinkled - I have a small mailbox.)

When Miss Butterfly’s MOH found out I was posting it on weddingbee, she said, ” I should have taken more time and made it even better had I known it was about to be displayed!”

If I’m invited to anything wedding related, know that pictures -…

As much as I hate to use the phrase “B-List Guests,” I think it’s sometimes inevitable that we have them. It’s especially unavoidable if you have parents who want to send out invitations to certain guests just in case they want to come - mostly to be polite and to announce that I was getting married. I gave my mom 24 “seats” and only 10…

The Guestbook Store allows you to customize guestbook pages into a fun, interactive, scrapbook-like layout. You can choose specific themes like wedding or bridal shower, pick a fabric or leather cover, then select the number of pages you want. You can even add special pages for displaying invitations, recording gift logs, or blank create-your-own pages.

I don’t know if I’m really going to call it “The Story of Us” but it seems like a good starting point. Now that my menus are done, the other side of the tented cards will be a short timeline.

We originally wanted to write a personal story about how we met, or how our relationship progressed, or something to that effect. However, as I…

Yes, two weeks-ish ago, my invitations made their journey out into the world (or more specifically, to our guests since sociable as I am, I’m still capping my guest list at 300– sorry, world!). Since they were pretty simple–an invitation card, a reception card, a response card + envelope–it was not the most difficult thing for me to assemble them. (Not that such a trivial…

Between programs, menus, personal story, and table escort cards, I found menus to be the easiest to do. Why? My venue already provided the descriptions of the food, and Adrienne from Custom Programs designed the rest!

Here is what I am serving and what my menu looks like. Imagine that it’s on one side of a tent card, where the menu itself is ecru cardstock…

We blogged about how cool concert ticket invitations would be a couple weeks ago, and Bliss Weddings Market is now offering them!

You can use them as save the dates, wedding invitations, bridal shower invites, bachelorette party invites, and more. The tickets measure 5 1/2″ W x 2″ H, and are available in red, blue, yellow, green, purple, orange, and pink. They also come with…

I admit it. I’m an invitation addict. How will I ever choose from all the millions of gorgeous papers and designs and fonts and colors and and and…? My newest invitation crush is the work of the invitation duo, Wiley Valentine. Their designs unique and have a bit of an old-word charm to them.

I love the lacy feel of the “Jessica” invitations and the detail…

I just saw this today and thought it could be a very cute addition to save the dates. MOO.com makes minicards with your own pictures on the front. They are about half the size of a regular business card and you can fit about 5-6 lines of text on the back. But they only cost $20 for 100 of them, plus, you can print a different…

Hi Weddingbee,

I just wanted to share with you my wedding invitations that I love! The pictures don’t do them full justice to how lovely they are. My fiance and I had very specific ideas about what we wanted our invites to look like, and so we went the custom route. The best part was we were able to incorporate so much of our family into…

Now that the wedding is drawing nearer, I have become very conscious about the money I spend because I need to have enough left over to pay my vendors on the last week. Can you imagine if I ran out of money? Eeeek!!

Anyway, one way that I am saving money (albeit only a hundred bucks or so), is to have “shared” menus at each…

Seems like you girls have ceremony programs on the brain. Alright, alright… I confess that I do too. I hereby declare that obsessing over ceremony programs is a normal and decent human activity! Or obsessing over any wedding detail for that matter…

Here’s a website that can either cure or feed your preoccupation with sample ceremony program layouts.

I can’t vouch for their products or customer…
