The National Stationery Show took place from May 19-22 in NYC, and I followed along religiously on Oh So Beautiful Paper. I told my wedding stationery designer that I will literally crawl into her luggage if she goes next year – it is such a dream of mine. Cards everywhere. And twine. And wrapping paper. And planners. Seriously? I sifted through hundreds of pictures and posted my favorites below! Feast your eyes.
I love coming across an invitation or Save the Date set that I’m obsessed with – most of them are found on Oh So Beautiful Paper. In fact, that’s where I found my stationery designer, Atheneum Creative. We met to review some options last Friday, and seriously y’all, I had the hardest time picking because I loved them all. I cannot wait to share pictures!
The other day, I totally fell in love with a craft + hot pink set of Save the Date invitations (here). Are they not gorgeous? And very DIY. That stamp from Antiquaria is amazing.
We’re having our invitation design review on Friday + I’m like a kid in a candy shop – so excited. I went to Oh So Beautiful Paper the other day + spotted the most gorgeous wedding + rehearsal dinner stationery by Jay Adores Design Co. Are they not incredible? I super love the packaging. Then, I snooped + found their Save-the-Dates. Also amazing. Huge paper crush right now.
Perfect packaging
The Rehearsal Dinner Invitations
These menus are incredible…
We sent our save-the-dates two weeks ago, and so I think it’s about time I posted some pictures! They were designed by Atheneum Creative, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how they turned out. We picked two custom logos for our stationary – one of them is shown on the wooden bottle below. I am currently “AS” and Sasha is “ASP” (Alexander Sasha Petrovic), and so we’ll become ASP on July 19. We have called each other ASP for awhile now, so we wanted to incorporate this into our logo. Now I cannot wait to help design the invitations!
The ‘Save-the-Date’ has become increasingly more popular in the last ten to fifteen years. They are a fun way to give your guests plenty of warning about the date of your wedding, given that the invitations are typically sent six to eight weeks before the event.
Plain stationary for save-the-dates is rarely seen anymore (which doesn’t mean it isn’t a good idea!) The fridge magnet is a popular choice, but I’ve found many other unique and beautiful options.
