As always, Triple B encourages everyone to ultimately do what works best for them and their household. (I’m even tweaking a couple of these for my own Save-the-Dates…) However I thought the below suggestions were pretty universal: [Read more...]

Bridgette’s Pick of the Week – New Wedding Invitation Resources

13 Feb2013 By Bridgette 6 Comments

A fun bridal shower invite from DynaSmiles by DNT.

Way before I thought about a wedding of my own I was a bona fide fan of stationery. My father purchased my first set of personalized note cards when I was about 8 years-old and I even worked a part-time job after college at a fancy smancy British stationery shop.
