#150 Favour Bags

I did consider making these newspaper gift bags (Mr N & I met in a newsagents) using this tutorial from the fabulous How About Orange, cute & you're recycling too!
There are so many fantastic choices for favour boxes & bags. It's worth taking the time to find one that fits the feel of your wedding, as well as your budget, perfectly.
There are also a lot of gorgeous & simple diy options if there's a little room on your to do list?

Given my fondness for a rustic theme, the inclusion of jute bags is hardly suprising?

Calico is such a simple, pretty & versitile medium, especially for diy-ers...

I love the look of craft paper bags, especially when a little creative quirk is added.

The paper bags with the printed menu & the peg are my favourites, great concept & so effective!

#147 Wooden Stationary

I love paper goods. I handmade all our save the dates, invites, place cards, menus & programs, buying the supplies for these was beyond exciting for me.

You know what I love more than paper though? Wood.
I found these INCREDIBLE invites from Oslo Press halfway through the process of making ours & was absolutely blown away. I seriously considered abandoning the project & re-jigging the budget to have a little slice of this heaven...

         

Heaven is an understatement. Swoon after swoon after swoon...

   

Table numbers, two stunning custom designs, place cards, escort cards & favour tags... You can order just about anything you can think of from Oslo Press.
I am still suffering from a potentially fatal case of love. It's very serious. Surely there is something I can custom order to cure this ailment...

#114 First Anniversary

The traditional first anniversary gift is paper.
How about these hand cut silhouettes from another ridiculously talented Boston based artist, Joe Bagley?



 

I think they would look sensational mounted to 'float' in a box frame...

  

And perhaps if by the one year anniversary a baby is on the way, this could be an option?

Did you, or are you & your partner doing the tradition anniversary gift order? Or anniversary gifts at all?

#93 A Paper Story

One day...

   
It begins...
(*note- just to be clear, that is not a wedding invite sneak peek. That was our melbourne engagement party/2nd birthday party/missing you melbourne bunch picnic 'thingo' invite.)
 
 
Mmm paper...
 
The lovely hand of my lovely man...
 
 

And that, my darling Mr N, is why you should not multi task.
