live. breathe. design.

mostly everyone has seen the photo with the couple vacationing in canada – where the squirrel popped into the photo of them in banf national park.

this reminded me of our own vacation squirrel.  when we were in san fancisco last septemeber for our honeymoon, we were walking through golden gate park, after stopping arizmendi’s (by the way – the best bakery ever). we stopped to take some photos and this squirrel was very interested in us & our food – apparently he heard the good things about arizmendi’s too.

what do you have in this purse….(notice how close this squirrel is to sean’s foot, crazy!)

i have never in my life seen a squirrel get this close to a person…

he was clearly interested in the baked goods!

a lot of brides ask: what should my RSVP date be?

i always recommend one week prior to the date the caterer gives you for final guest count. this way you have a week for any last minute return cards along with time for phone calls to anyone on your guest list who hasn’t responded yet. this usually ends up being about 3 weeks before your wedding date. but remember, always check with the caterer to know exactly when they need the final number of guests!

custom designed and eco-friendly, these wedding invitations are the perfect way to go green. the invitations are seal and send – so all one piece means less paper used (your RSVP card tears right off!). plus they were printed digitally (less waste and less toxic!) on 100% post consumer waste.

the design is hand drawn incorporating faith symbols for both casey and andrew making this invitation uniquely theirs.

loving the way the lino cut looks on the linen paper.
