Your invites are stunning! I love the color combination, the mix of fonts, and I'm a sucker for a pocketfold invite. Nicely done!
Thank you SO much! I really wanted to include all of our wedding colors in the invites, but didn't want it to be overwhelming, childish or tacky. I think the trim and ampersand in tiffany blue was exactly what we needed. WHO doesn't love a nice pocketfold haha. Thanks so much for your comment. The ampersand actually has a lot more meaning which is why I REALLY wanted to include it on the invites. We are using standing ampersand's as our table numbers (I will show some samples were working on shortly), our cake topper is an R "&" M logo and finally Ryan and I are getting matching tattoos of the ampersand after our wedding...eeek!
Very nice. I like simplicity too. Glad to hear you already are receiving responses. Did any say a song they wanted to hear? What a nice idea.
Thank you Lynne! I think simplicity goes a long way. Yes, we have received song selections on all of the RSVP cards thus far with the exception of Ryan's grandparents. Some of the ones that have been selected so far are; You are my best friend by Queen, You make me Wanna Shout, Wannabe by Spice Girls, Blank Space by Taylor Swift, Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis.....so its got some range which is great!
We are actually still deciding on our first dance dong right now and Can't Help Falling in Love is actually on our short list - we've cut it down to three songs. I will list them with YouTube post's shortly and hopefully get some feedback from you guys!
Love love love your invites! So modern yet timeless, I think they're great for your event!
These photography permits are killing me!! I can't find anywhere for engagement pics where we can just show up and take some darn pictures! Ugh. I have a month to come up with something.
We set our date for April 9, 2016 at the Pillar and Post hotel in Niagara on the Lake. I'm super excited, but this planning nonsense is stressful stuff!! So happy for you that it's almost your big day and you're able to enjoy the fruits of your labour!
Thank you SO much for your comments on our invites. I really truly love them and I think they are the perfect balance that we wanted! OMG, I know the permits are killers! We actually haven't taken our engagement photos yet, but they are planned for May 10th, so coming up VERY soon. I had the same debate, I really didn't want to pay $300+ for the rights just to take photos. Seemed like such a waste.
I was actually debating taking our photos at the Distillery District in Toronto. Ryan and I have had many beautiful dates there and I thought it would have been nice to use a backdrop the complete opposite of where our wedding photos will be. BUT they did want $300 for the permit and I refused to pay that. My photographer said that they do not have permit police on Sunday morning so we could do an early morning session without a permit, BUT it is a risk. IF someone happens to show up out of the blue it could cause problems. I'm not interested in dealing with a situation like that so I tossed that idea pretty quickly. Instead we decided to take our photos at Scottsdale Farms. If you do a quick google of "scottsdale farm engagement photos" you will see a whole whack of ideas and I think they are really lovely. Nicest thing...NO PERMIT NEEDED, NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED. In addition, my photographer has used this location many times and says it is one of her favorites, so I know she will have some lovely ideas for us.
Aww...Pillar and Post. Such a beautiful location. My mom, grandma and I went for a girls spa weekend there a couple of year ago. Such fond memories. Your wedding will have such a lovely backdrop. Yes, planning can be stressful, but I removed a lot of that stress by taking care of the BIG items - like vendors, dress, ect early on. Now I am just having to finalize and provide payment for those items and I am really enjoying the DIY and "fun" things with Ryan and my girls. Hopefully you can do the same!!!!
