Invitations

I've always loved stationery. I remember when I was a kid I would store all kinds of pretty paper and notecards in my desk, but I would very rarely use any of it! When I got to high school I loved buying pretty paper with colorful designs for my scrapbooks and to this day, I still love shopping the office supplies/stationery aisle when I'm out at the store.

It comes as no surprise that I really enjoy looking around online to find the perfect wedding invitations! I'm still looking within the purple/gray color palette and I tend to be drawn to more simplistic/modern designs. Here are a couple that have caught my eye, both with a "lights" theme:

A lot of people say "don't spend a lot of money on the invitations, people just throw them away," and although it's not necessary to spend a fortune, I do think the stationery is an important part of setting the tone for the whole wedding. When I find something I love, I am also planning on using other stationery (save the dates, thank you notes, etc.) that coordinate with the invitations, and maybe even continuing the theme throughout the event :)

Let me know what you think of these or if you see any you think I might like!
