Pop-Up Wedding Invitations

I just finished these pop-up wedding invitations for some friends of mine and I couldn't be more pleased.

For starters, this is for a very old friend (not to say that HE'S old, but we go quite a ways back. It's my buddy, Don, from my days working at the newspaper.)

In the last year or so, he's found love. Total, mad, giddy love.

How wonderful is that?

He and John and planning on doing the deed officially in Canada and then jetting off to Europe for a dreamy three-month-long honeymoon. When they return: party! A reception at Leach Botanical Gardens.

I don't know how they thought to ask me to do their invitations, but I'm so glad that they did. I am so excited and privileged to be a small part of this really lovely event.

I found a tiny hidden space behind their cut-outs to put in a secret quote: "You don't marry someone you can live with - you marry the person you cannot live without."

Isn't that just beautiful?

Anyway, I'm really happy with these. Someday, I may put a version of these on the etsy store, but this month, I need to focus on those Father's Day cards!
