Paper Goods

You can check out over here how we put together parts of our DIY wedding that was both a little rustic and a little tandem bicycle-y. We lucked out huge and had all of our wedding paper needs taken care of by my aunt, uncle and cousin who own a print shop in Missouri. My cousin Amy was super amazingly awesome and designed all of our paper goods off of emails full of crazy ideas from me. All together Amy created our Invitation bundle, our wedding programs, and the cards that held our wedding favors (and another paper good, but I'll share that later!). And I cannot say enough how great they turned out and how crazy patient she was with me through the entire process, we love her bunches!

Below you can see our wedding favors that Amy created. The card says "Plant These Hearts and flowers will grow". In the center are two biodegradable teal and mustard hearts that are loaded with wildflower seeds. All our guests had to do were remove the hearts from the card and plant them in some soil and water and they would be blessed with beautiful wildflowers. This all would have turned out wonderful if.....we had remembered to set them out for guests to grab on their way out. Whoops!. I'll be bringing some to family events as the year goes on so we can get those passed around the family.

You can check out the KaBloomz shop where I got our flower hearts on Etsy here.  

Here we have our wedding programs that I actually made into fans with pop sicle sticks and some craft runner tape. Our ceremony was outside in September so it was a bit toasty (110 degrees, toasty) so we thought our guests would appreciate a little relief. This part of the program has our tandem bicycle (which became our little theme as we went on) and says below "Fact: 5 years ago on this day, Emylee and Bryan had their first date". Yes, we got married on our 5th year anniversary - less dates to remember, holla!

Here's the program as a whole. We mixed a bunch of fonts and graphic elements along with the antique edge to give off a whimsical old age style.

This is what our wedding invitation bundle looks like as guests open them. 

When they opened their bundle they got their main invitation, their RSVP postcard, driving directions and a registry card all which was wrapped in a striped mustard band.

We looked online and in our wedding planning book for copy ideas for our invitation. We wanted a relaxed and fun copy that didn't come off as too stuffy. 

Here are the rest of the pieces that came in the bundle. As you can see we used the bicycle on the RSVP card so it was something that could help remind the guests the feel of our wedding.

Again, we absolutely loved our wedding paper goods and cannot thank our family enough for their huge contribution to our wedding. You can check out this project here to see how I memorialized our wedding stationary.
