{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  As you all read this, I’ll be in the middle of a long drive with my husband to visit his family in upstate New York.  I’m not looking forward to the long drive up, but it’ll be nice to chase after our niece and nephew all weekend.  Before I head off, I’ll leave you with one last reminder to enter the holiday card giveaway from Satsuma Press – the contest closes tonight at midnight!  But in the meantime…

Watercolor Wedding Map

I love custom maps for wedding invitations, but sometimes they can fall a bit too far on the cartoonish side.  Luckily, this hand drawn map from Courtney at Swiss Cottage Designs strikes the perfect balance of modern and whimsical.  Courtney created this gorgeous custom map of Boston Harbor for a recent bride – I love the watercolor details and hand lettering!

Christina’s Bridal Shower and Engagement Party Invitations

I don’t often have the opportunity to feature either engagement party invitations or bridal shower invitations, so when Rachelle from Wiley Valentine sent these over as part of Christina and Trevor’s rock n’ roll wedding invitation suite, I thought they deserved a post all of their own!  Rachelle carried the rock n’ roll theme through with the type choices and banner details on the bridal shower invitation:

I love the delicate patterns in the engagement party invitations, also letterpress printed by Michael at Czar Press:

Love Letter-Inspired Wedding Invitations

Kate from Ruby & Willow designed these wedding invitations for a bride from North America marrying a New Zealander, and the entire invitation is so incredibly romantic I can barely stand it.  The design was inspired by old fashioned love letters and features the wording from their wedding song on the belly band and tag around the invitation and rsvp postcard.

I love the way Kate incorporates some texture into the invitation – the strip of fabric and striped twine are a perfect touch!

Loving those pops of red in an otherwise neutral color palette, not to mention the beautiful vintage postage stamps against a dramatic black envelope!

{happy weekend!}

Wow, this has been a FULL week – but between the launch of United With Love and a fantastic week here on Oh So Beautiful Paper, it’s been a GREAT week.  But I’m also super excited for the weekend; tonight we’re going up to Baltimore to see Wolf Parade!  Later this weekend I’m planning to swing by the Book Arts Fair at Pyramid Atlantic in Silver Spring and re-tackle the great office clean-out of 2010.  But in the meantime…
