THE INVITATION INSPIRATION.

I've been mulling over wedding invitation designs ever since I completed our Save the Dates. There are so many designs to choose from! Should I choose a envelopment enclosure? A stack of cards for each topic? Go simple and leave the rest to our wedding website?

After scouring the web for the past two months, I think I've narrowed the packaging down to a final decision: a booklet. I love the idea of creating a mini-book for many different reasons. First off, my fiance and I love to read (I'm now very aware of how much we love to read after unpacking our entire library). Secondly, I think it's a simple way to package the suite of information ensuring that the good stuff won't get lost in the mix - plus I can create it in a post office friendly size for cheaper postage. Lastly, how could I pass up an opportunity to create my very own wedding invitation booklet after viewing these?!

Why do you do this to me Kate? Just when I talked myself into simple, single page invites you introduce me to these...

I absolutely love this idea.
