Last weekend I hosted a bridal shower for my neice, Sara McFarlane. Sara will marry Kirk Wolff in December.
I made these invitations and favors for the shower, along with somewhat coordinating centerpieces. More photos of the whole lady party here.
I love, truly love, making invitations and other paper stationery things. As communication becomes more digital, I’ve begun to crave beautiful things I can hold in my hands. I love the texture of paper, and the rituals of writing letters and opening letters (although I wish I did more of this…)
I also love writing things with pens and paper because it forces my mind to slow down, to work on one letterform at a time. When I’m typing I’m always thinking of two other things as I type. That sort of multi-tasking wears me down.
In any event, it was a great party Saturday. Sara is just simply gorgeous, inside and out. She’s moving to the St. Paul area after the wedding and we’ll miss her.
