When I first met with my wonderful wedding planner, Adriel (Adriel Nutter Events), one of the very first things she told me was that Mr. Blue Moon and I needed to decide what to prioritize in our wedding budget. For example, some couples care more about great food and less about a great DJ. Or maybe we wanted to invest a significant portion of the budget into photography, and not so much into flower arrangements. After sitting down to discuss with Mr. Blue Moon, I quickly realized that he did not care one bit about invitations and stationery for the wedding. We could probably send all of our guests an email or make our wedding a Facebook event, and Mr. Blue Moon would be fine. I, however, have a love affair with fancy paper.
Seriously. I can’t go into most stores without stopping by the card section that sells thank you notes. I love to throw parties, if only to design and send invitations. I adore receiving mail, but I enjoy sending it even more. I have an entire drawer in my home office dedicated to cards, stationery, return address labels, and other accouterments. I know, I know. I have a sickness. And before we even had a venue nailed down, I was lusting after gorgeous invitation suites and perfect save the dates.
