Escort Card Dilemma

August 3rd, 2008 @ 10:29 am by Mrs. Hydrangea

Our original plan to have vases with our escort cards has been shot down, and for good reason. If we passed out the escort cards like this during the cocktail hour, how would guests hold those, their drink AND get some hors d’oeurves? Quite a handful.

Officially Mrs. D (On Paper) For the Very First Time

July 17th, 2008 @ 5:14 pm by Mrs. Daffodil

It only took a few extra minutes, and it was just a small personal touch that I thought would be a little treat for ourselves. Consider this an addendum to my post last week about our place cards… I forgot to mention the place cards I created for Mr. D and myself! During all the planning, I found that in the craziness of crafting all these perfect details for your guests - the programs, the place cards, the favors, etc. - it was nice to spend a couple extra minutes on a little something for ourselves. Just a sweet, simple, and special souvenir, that now sits displayed on our mantle with our toasting glasses .

I have to admit it was pretty trippy to see my new last name (on public display, no less) for the first time! It felt a little weird in the crafting process… but on our wedding day, as I sat down at our sweetheart table and looked over at my place card, it just felt pretty cool in a quiet kind of way. Like, wow, we really are married now.
