Brickhouse Events: Invitations...Part I

After scouring the internet for library themed wedding invites on the typical invitation websites, I wasn't having any luck. While the ones that I saw were "nice," they just weren't what I was looking for. If my our invitation and save the date were displayed next to each other, I wanted them to "go," and I wasn't finding anything that flowed nicely. I decided to search "library themed wedding invitations" on Etsy, and found so many more options.

The ones that tickled my fancy were the ones that looked like a book cover. Below is the one I ended up purchasing from 3EggsDesign on Etsy. I was able to make some changes to the invitation suite, such as having adding entree choices to the R.S.V.P. cards, and having an information card instead of a save the date (Kim is totally awesome!!).

I love the look of the invitation suite, and it fit in my budget, score! I received a PDF of the invitation suite and took them to Staples to be printed. The only downside was that I had to cut them out myself. After I used this amazing/awesome/miracle worker for a paper cutter:

I started out using the kind where you slide the blade to cut the paper, but I just wasn't happy with the way the invitations were coming out (a.k.a. it was the worst paper cutter ever and the invites were looking aw-ful). Luckily my dad already had the paper cutter above, so I was able to salvage the invites I had already cut. If you're printing your own invitations, you have to get a cutter like this one!

Here are some other literary wedding invitations fit for various budgets and where to find them.
