Why stop with a hand crafted wedding when you can have a hand stitched wedding too!?  The needle and thread is no longer relegated to repairing holes and finishing pillows: you or your stationer can break it out to add a little something extra to your day-of wedding paper goods.  Embroidered and stitched elements works beautifully on both fabric and paper, so go ahead and have your programs sewn up or your place cards cross stitched!  Have each guest make a quick stitch on a map to mark their hometown for a guest book or sew your embroidered table numbers together, post-event, to make an heirloom quilt… your very own little stitch in time. — Kelly
