Fiancé and me are getting hitched on May 15 this year. Soon, right? And there's so much to do!!
But today I wanted to share with you my DIY'd wedding invitations! I'm kind of proud ^_^
This is it! It's a fold-out-booklet you have to pull out a burlap pocket (self-sewn might I add :P ), with a personal gift, a souvenir fiancé and me picked up in Thailand last holiday.
So what's is the souvenir, you ask? It's an embellished coconut shell with a flowery soap inside! When we were strolling one of the night markets in Thailand, we saw a man carving these flowers out of soap, and we thought "that is so cool!" and then Fiancé said: "let's buy these as wedding invitations!" ...I would like to take credit for the cool idea but yeah.. no.. it was him.. :)
Every one of them is handcarved and handpainted and unique! Coolness, no?
And here is the folded out booklet. I used pictures of us as a "watermarked" background, added the KRAFTpapered the back, added pearls, washi tape and a twine bow and voilá!
Details:
And yes, then we personally hand-delivered (actually it was more like "deliver-and-run") to each invitee! We drove around A LOT! At the end of that weekend, I was so happy that we had a relatively small wedding party and live in a small country :)
Okay, gotta run.. So much to dooooo!!!!!
congrats !!! love the addition of the burlap pocket, super cute !
