Things I've Learned This Weekend

• Etsy has 372 pages of wedding invitations.
• It will take roughly 4-5 hours to look through all 372 pages.
• You can start with 30 invites you like.
• You will end up with 6 you REALLY like and want to order samples of.
• Letterpress invitations are pretty pretty pretty and $$$$$
• We will most likely end up DIYing *some* of the components of the invites.
• My love of etsy holds no bounds.
  

Working on The Details

Here are more photos of the venue we really like. The blue room is where the reception would be held. This means we get to eliminate blue from the color palette (except the hydrangeas) which makes my life a little better.

Though we *thought* we had decided on colors, we are moving towards green and brown. Mainly because I found these two invitations and WE LOVE THEM. With the blue from the "blue room" in our reception-- the colors would be green, brown and blue.

Here is the big dilemma-- both of these are MAJOR spring wedding invites, maybe summer. So do we move the wedding up? Noooo. I think we are going to tell the world to suck it and just have spring wedding invitations for a fall wedding. I mean, it is Texas-- so it isn't like the leaves are going to change and look pretty or anything. It just gets mildly cooler.

Thoughts?
