Nick and Lindsay’s creative wedding rehearsal dinner invitation (created by multi-talented photographer Brooke Courtney) was easily the most popular post of 2012 – and for good reason! From the sweet “Best day ever” packaging to the cute and totally useful “call anyone but the bride” list of phone numbers, I wish I had thought to do something similar for my own wedding guests!

The laser cut technique is such a great way to add dimension and texture to a wedding invitation suite, and Georgie + Dave’s nature-inspired invitations by Amy of Saint Gertrude Design and Letterpress are a perfect example. The tree silhouette is beautiful as a stand alone piece, and is even more beautiful when combined with letterpress printed pieces!

Of all the gorgeous wedding invitations I’ve had the pleasure of featuring this year, these beautiful and whimsical invitations – a collaboration between the bride, Lindsay, and lettering artist Molly Jacques – are definitely at the top of my list. I’m completely smitten with every detail, from Molly’s beautiful hand lettering (of course) to the silhouettes and mixture of patterns and textures. Just gorgeous!

Okay everyone, I’m signing off for the holidays! I’m heading out to wrap a few remaining presents, pack for our trip, and take care of a few loose ends… you know, glamorous stuff. Next week I’ll feature a few of my favorite posts from 2012 before returning with new content the following week. But in the meantime…
…a few links for your weekend:
This week on Oh So Beautiful Paper:
That’s it for me this week! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday, and I’ll see you back here soon! xoxo
Sophie reached the 3-month mark last week, and while I haven’t been very good about taking a monthly photo of her in the same place I wanted to capture her in this adorable and smiley stage before she gets even bigger. So before we all go running off for the holidays, I thought I’d share a few photos!
Before Sophie was born, I remember thinking that the three month mark was going to be this huge milestone. She’ll be doing things! Less crying! Sleeping through the night! Ah, the optimism of pre-babydom… I can’t help but laugh at my earlier emphasis on an arbitrary timeframe. Sophie is so different now compared to her first few weeks as a newborn, but you definitely trade old challenges for new ones with each stage. Right now, we can’t get enough of her gummy smiles and tiny laughs. We’re still working on the whole sleep-through-the-night thing, but my mom reminded me that longer sleep often comes as a baby gains more weight. Sophie is a small baby (only 10.5 lbs at 3 months), so it could take a while and we’re trying to be patient.
Sophie has had such a sweet and happy temperament ever since she was born – we feel so lucky! She absolutely lights up whenever she sees us, and it almost makes my heart burst when I hear her making happy cooing noises at her papa while I’m doing something in another room. She also makes the most hilarious faces and noises that crack us up to no end – even though she has no idea that she’s been so funny! I’m looking forward to all the milestones to come, but I’m also really loving this stage in her life.
This weekend we’ll be making the loooooong drive up to Syracuse to spend the holidays with my husband’s family, and while I’m excited for Sophie to (hopefully) experience snow for the first time, I’m a bit nervous about how she’ll handle the several-hours-long car ride. Anyone have any tips for making long drives with young babies? I’d love any advice or tips that you experienced mamas could share!
