Card Crazy

So - in case you don't know this about me, I am card obsessed. I buy cards all of the time. We have a dedicated drawer in our condo just to house all of the cards I purchase. It may be a bit crazy, but it comes in handy when we need to send out a last minute "Birthday/Baby/Get Well/Thank You/Congratulations" acknowledgment. Anyway, today I ran across some fun cards from Seltzer Goods. I have picked up a couple of their cards before, but it is great to see all of their offerings. I like the funny, quirky type of cards - vs. the sappy, sentimental type. Do any of you have "card drawers?" What are your favorite types of cards to send out - funny, sweet, store bought, handmade?

A few of my favorites from Seltzer Goods -

You betcha - dig it.

Words of encourgement.

Precisely.

Nothing could be more true.

They also make posters. I can't wait for it to warm up around here enough for me to "get my ride on" soon.

This is for my friend, Scientist Susan.

From the mailbox....

A few super cute Save the Dates/Wedding Invitations have graced our mailbox this week.  I love getting mail - especially when it is on pretty paper announcing the marriage of good friends. 

You cannot tell from the picture, but the paper is textured with small ridges.  I love how classic this 'Save the Date' is for Josh and Christine's wedding in Boston.  I highly recommend reading their super sweet and creative proposal story here:

I love Ian and Emily's use of the photo booth pictures in the invitation!  I am very excited for any wedding reception that involves bike riding and tequila drinking - read more here: http://www.ianandem.com/

Ditto: Invite Crush

Did you see this? Dying. Like really. Sigh.

Invites!

I have used Party Cat and Polka Dot Designs for a lot of invites. They are great, easy and really fast. I however am a HUGE fan of Tiny Prints (all cards above from there). I have done numerous invites, and I always do our holiday cards there... I usually don't even change the suggested font, but you can. Another added bonus of TP is they have cute stickers and what-not that go with whatever design you choose...

Then there is always Paper Source...order some cute cards and a stamp...print on colored vellum and attach with a ribbon. That is my super quick go-to invite.

Help: Baby Shower Invitations

Alright - a little help here please? I am planning a very low-key baby shower for a girlfriend & am in need of some invitation help. The mommy-to-be mentioned that we should just send out an "evite" for the shower...my co-organizer & I said absolutely not! So, the idea is for something simple, inexpensive, and cute. I think we are open to any ideas - craft can count! Would love the input.

Amazing Wedding Invitations

We got a beautiful wedding invite in the mail this weekend from our friends Claire and Jonathan. I love that it totally represents their style and where they live.

This weekend...

Here is what I am up to tonight - if the weather holds. Don't you love the design of this invitation? The party is for Drew of this & this from previous posts. Wish you all were here to rock out with me...

Invite for ABQ BBQ

Wish you all could come. ) : Basically we are having a small BBQ in my parents backyard for Scott's family (that live in Albquerque) and my family. A few family friends and the few high school friends that actually live in ABQ (KC, Raul, Judd + significant others).

Made the invitation for free on this site. http://www.invitationland.com/ Then you can save as a PDF and email out! So great! Did this for a friends baby shower as well.
