Default *SQUEAL* I had to share!

Ok so over Christmas we met with one of my mom's oldest friends. She started an invitation/stationary business a few years back and wanted to help us out with the invites for the wedding. Jordan came with us, but he could care less, so I got to pick whatever I wanted. WOOT!

So our proofs came in the other day and I LOVE them. Totally perfect. They are these, except it'll be red instead of hot pink. (If it gives you an error, go to http://pockets.singleresource.com, click on products, and it's the top left one on page 2)

I can't upload to PB otherwise I'd share the proofs. But it's very close to that link, with all things script in red and all the block in black.

So today, I'm wandering around the internet, looking for a fun new hybrid project, when I happen across Papertrey Ink thanks to a blog that Sara sent me to. Tons of awesome stamp sets, yadda yadda yadda. So imagine my surprise when I click on one of the alphabet sets, and it's THE EXACT SAME FONT AS THE SCRIPT ON OUR INVITATIONS!!!

*SQUEAL!*

Needless to say I'm placing an order as we speak. Now I can make up my own thank you cards for the showers and such, and everything will be perfectly matchy matchy!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!

They are very elegant!
And yes, the matchy matchy thing is the reason I made all of my stationery for my wedding...

Thanks guys Elegant is the name of the wedding game for me, that's what I'm going for with everything.
I'm super excited. I ordered them (and a few others to make a nice set of stationary for myself) and I can't WAIT til they get here

Amber it's SO much fun! Lol! I looked through 7 or 8 books, but once I saw that one I knew it was the right one for us. Picking out the fonts and wording was so much fun! I went with all more traditional wordings, they seemed more formal to me. We're going for formal and elegant so it worked well :P My moms friend gave us a HUGE discount too, so that rocked

those are beautiful!

i loved my invites for my wedding. only, they had changed chad's date he was coming home from basic training after we repeatedly made sure that it wouldn't change, lol. it did anyway! we were supposed to be married on July16th. instead it ended up being the 19th. so there went $200+ in invites, lol. i had to send out notes to everyone telling them the date changed!
