just wanted to share some wonderful designs we stumbled across this morning. they are from passing notes. beautiful. here is a little excerpt from the about section of their website, i don't think it could have been said any better: Passing Notes embraces the thrill of that first folded note. For people who appreciate and value the beauty that exists in the imperfect, inconspicuous, and overlooked details of life... this is for you, from me.

I uploaded this nifty little 2009-2010 Ordering Calendar for ya'll.  The calendar shows recommended months to order your wedding and social stationery based on the month of your event.  As always, it is best to order early - but should you find yourself in a panic with your event rapidly approaching - I do my best to accommodate rush orders.  If I'm really pressed I can (depending on the type of stationery) get an order done in two weeks.  The greatest exception to that rush two weeks is silk products.  Silk products take on average 4-12 weeks to arrive from the manufacturer.

Weddings ... in the chart I show columns for save the dates (and/or engagement announcements), invitations & reception.  The reception column speaks to table cards, escort cards, place cards, programs, favor tags, etc.  I do recommend ordering everything together - around the same time you're ordering save the dates & invitations - however, with reception stationery you have a better idea of quantities once all your replies are in.  You can always place your order early then we can adjust quantities as necessary prior to production.

When to Mail for Weddings ...

Save the Dates = Send 4-6 Months before the wedding 

Invitations = Send 8-10 Weeks before the wedding 

When to Mail for Social Events ...

Invitations = Send 4-6 Weeks before the event

Cheers!!

Loved the bright, fun color combination on this wedding invitation. This booklet style was done in Graphite Metallic cardstock with a Teal vellum overlay. The text was printed on a crisp White Linen. Adding an engagement photo to your wedding invitations is a great way to really personalize your invitations and make them your own!!
