You go to the mailbox at end of a long day, on a cold winter evening. Instead of just a stack of bills or advertisements, there is a sliver of beauty in a padded envelope tucked inside the stack. The thickness of the envelope screams open me. The artwork on the outside reminds you to be careful … so you don’t ruin it. As you get inside your house and sit down to see what lies ahead, you realize it is from your college roommate. Immediately you remember that her wedding is in just three months, and you have been waiting to hear more about the day since getting her save the date almost a year ago.
Even when she was in college, she always gave attention to the tiniest details. The dainty necklace passed down from her grandmother. The planner book that was always tabbed and colorful even if it was nagging her for upcoming assignments and appointments. The spring break itineraries with pink flair and design. She always poured her love into everything she did.
You know even before opening this invitation that she cares and this already feels different. The anticipation builds as you pop open the flap, and it reveals a colorful liner with pink, yellow and orange flowers tucked inside. Even the thoughtfulness of how the invitations are stacked is clear as you pull them out from its cozy space within the florals. A beautiful chiffon sage green bow with a gold wax seal stamped to it keeps everything neat inside. It’s almost too beautiful to take part. You immediately need to take a photo, because you know that there is no way it will ever look like this again. Should you open it or leave it? No, you are dying to see what else lies inside.
After a little careful tug, the invitations unpack themselves and you notice immediately the color selection, artwork and bold monogram at the top of the main invitation. You know there is no way that this was found online - the monogram includes their dog, Teddy, and elements of their favorite things - the mountains, books and even pizza. It is so them, and it is fun to see something so personal on an invitation for a change.
Even the map on the back of the details card exhibits detail of a piece of art that it makes you want to frame this. Even thought you don’t like where the wedding is in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the town looks so cute. There is the downtown square and even their favorite coffee shop. The little illustrations are both inviting and peak your curiosity to go explore the city.
She has showcased their wedding weekend with a detailed timeline. The welcome party will be on Friday, the wedding and reception with information of addresses and times. It is so helpful, and you haven’t even gone to their website yet. You admire the secret QR code that is stuck into the artwork and easily scan it to RSVP right on their website. The delish meal choices included on the cards are so decadent it makes your mouth water.
There is so much flow to this invitation, and you suddenly realize even the back of each card has information and artwork as well. It just keeps going.
