creative friends are the best.

The best part of having creative friends is that they can design fun images quickly and easily.  And I joke that they're earning their invitation to the wedding.  :D   I have a crazy talented and just crazy friend Lindsay Jo who threw together this logo for our welcome bags and a few other wedding related objects.  I love it for many many reasons.  1.  Because it is of the state of Georgia and we're getting married in Georgia and the heart is actually over McDonough. 2. Because they it is navy and one of our colors is navy. and 3. because I think it will look so super fabulous on our wedding welcome bags given out at the hotel. 

little detail #1–axed.

remember this post about all the little details that were running through my mind. sadly, one of them [and one that I thought was super cute and would add a really nice vintage touch] is not going to happen. 

remember the place card frames that were white and vintage and going to potentially tell people where they were sitting – yeah they’re TINY.  Like teeny tiny like I am unsure how theknot.com thinks that they’re big enough to hold someone’s full name.

They were on sale at theknot.com’s store – so I purchased a few to get a good look at them and was sadly disappointed.  I am marrying someone with the last name “Shanahan” and I have family members with the last name “Winkeler” … both that last names are WAAYYYY too long to fit in those tiny things.  So, I am back at square one on place cards if we end up using them.   And those “samples” I bought are on their way back to the store for my little refund.

Rawr.

wedding napkins!! how cute are these?

And … how cute are these napkins.  They are navy, lavender and off white and they say “the perfect pair” and I think they’re so crazy cute.

So as you grab a drink from the bar you can grab one of these and as you take some sort of snack from the server you will grab one of these too. 

Sometimes I feel like such a wedding dork but it is the little things that I think are so super unique and cool.  And I know that other people have personalized napkins so this is nothing new that people have not seen… but I still think it is a cute idea.   And there is a chance that if we entertain you at our house at any given time in 2012 you may get a wedding napkin – or you all can snack and drink a lot so we don’t have left overs. =)
