| Bride Magazine's Invites can be purchased at Micheal's |
There is a great lost art in that of the well written, beautifully designed party invitation. Really the only paper invitations you find any longer are those for weddings. I like Evite and Pingg, there is the blasted temptation of using only an e-vite so you can easily track RSVPs and save on postage. But…. You lose the incredible joy of receiving something in the mail besides a bill, something lovely, with textured paper and verbose writing that makes you feel if just for a moment that you are lady in a Victorian romance novel receiving a love letter. And that moment, that fleeting, ridiculous moment, where you feel special, that is why I love to receive and send out invitations. Truth be told, I designed, printed, cut, and sent out my wedding invites. They were lovely and unique. But I have found something better… Target, Michael’s, and even Wal-Mart now sell printable wedding invitations made by gorgeous paperies.
Don’t get me wrong, I love “like a junkie loves a fix” Paper-Source and Papyrus. But the truth is they are just so stinkin’ expensive. At Michael’s I found Bride Magazine’s shower invitations and not only are they gorgeous and professional looking, they are also $7.99 for 12! Hip-hip hooray! These are the invitations I am going use for Thanksgiving. It also complemented the colors that I picked for the event. I mulled it over and while I am torn by using a taupe and hunter green, or a honey and wheat. I decided on taupe, olive green, and accents of apricot orange and merlot burgundy. Yes, I made up the names of those colors but… poetic license is a license you give yourself.
