Love of Paper Part 1.

Just for you reader!

When you think about the list of paper goods that are so-called ‘required’ for weddings these days it really goes as far as your budget.  To me as a bride the limitless number of possibilities that are out there is scary, it made me want to hide!

 

no more choices please!

So whats the plan? 

So the next few posts I want to really go through the whole paper possibilities i.e. 

  • Engagement Invitations
  • Save the Date Cards
  • Wedding Invitations
  • RSVP Cards
  • Gift Cards
  • Travel and accommodation arrangements, maps and directions, parking and transportation details.
  • Ceremony Programs
  • Place Cards
  • Table Cards
  • Seating Charts
  • Favours
  • Menus
  • Guest Books
  • Wishing Trees
  • Thank You cards

Didn’t I tell you that the paper goods went as long as your budget or I really should say as long as your creativity?

Its the beginnings of what?

The secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings. – David Weinbaum   

So that’s right people, or no-one (It’s my first post, I’m being realistic here, mkay!) I decided to take David’s words to heart. I’m starting something fresh, I’m starting something new. Are you excited? I’m… starting a wedding blog! (disappointed much? I figure you guys are smart cookies and read the title of my blog huh?) 

ooo even got a fancy header!

 A bit of background; This isn’t my first wedding blog by the way. My first one, was a record of all things related to my wedding (selfish much? not others, just mine… and well I think it just got boring!) I barely had enough time to put any thought into what I was actually writing. I barely wrote sentences, rather just wrote instructions.  It was my memory bank to keep me sane, and If anyone nicked my wedding planner I had the back up!  I posted DIY things to freebies and had 35 followers (nearly like Jesus feeding the 5000, except I fed 35 people. However I accumulated just over 3500 hits in my 13 month of planning! So watch out, I’ll be catching up yet!) .

I found since planning my own wedding that I have a creativity that I didn’t know existed! (For a girl who answers phones for her day job and types data and was never good at art! this is a big step!) I was opened to a world of wedding blogs, creativity, paper goods, photography, designs and oh my goodness its like leading fuel to the fire!  

Blog

So the reason for this blog is: 

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drowned your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

It’s August 4th 2010, 9 sleeps away from my wedding and  I am finally doing what I want to be doing. I have direction, inspiration and motivation.
