Invitation Time

We are just about six months out from our wedding – time flies when you are having fun! And with each passing month, we are slowly but surely checking things off our to-do list. Next item to tackle is invitations. My wedding planner wisely suggested picking out and ordering our invitation suite early. Unfortunately, our save-the-dates didn’t go that smoothly – it ended up taking three batches to get them right (if you have any suggestions of what to do with 320 extra save-the-dates, I am all ears!). So needless to say, I am following her recommendation so we have plenty of time to fix any unexpected mishaps.

Without really planning it, the city of San Francisco has become the theme of our wedding. I guess when you are planning a wedding in downtown SF and the majority of your guests are out-of-towners, it’s hard not to highlight this amazing place (pretty sure I’ve mentioned how much I love this city!). So it is not surprising that a lot of the invitation suites that have caught my eye are those that showcase the city/place where the wedding is being held.
