Weddings, much like babies, are quite the industry! Both are equally life-changing, and I suppose in many respects, one is a harbinger for the other.
Lately I’ve been thinking quite a bit about wedding invites, namely because we keep getting them... as ‘tis the season for weddings!!! We had one in June in San Francisco, and three in September! (Why, just this time last year we were gearing up for our wedding in Rio!).
While I’m remaining cautiously optimistic, hubby is of the opinion that we may not be able to attend some (or all?) of them, given that they are all a few weeks past my due date. Ah well, what does he know anyhow – where there’s a will, there’s a way.
That said, I love receiving personalized wedding invites, as I believe that each of them encapsulates a little bit about the individual, not to mention the couple. Call me old-fashioned, but I still believe in the sanctity of invites, as they just add a little something special to the occasion than an Evite (though I guess you could do whatever you want these days, it’s *your* party afterall).
The bonus of putting in extra effort on your own wedding invite, is that you can even use it as a memento later on in life, and I find that to be quite nice!! For instance, our wedding invite still sits in a frame next to our nightstand. When it’s not covered by junk (aka when it’s actually visible), the mere sight puts a smile on my face.
