Freshly Minted: Grace in Bloom Engagement Party Invitation

Hooray!  My newest design is now for sale at Minted, Grace in Bloom.  This is the perfect invitation for an engagement party or even a rehearsal dinner invitation.  Be sure to check out this design and some of the others I have for sale, including this Mother's Day card.

Minted has been such a fantastic community for me to grown, learn, and experiment as a designer.  The range in talent on the site is remarkable.  I was SO excited when I learned this design scored 12th out of over 700 designs.  For someone who is self-taught, this was so very exciting!

Happy Shopping!

Etiquette 101

The last several weeks I have been working with new brides and also designing many wedding shower invitations.  In these planning conversations, it's always amazing how many etiquette questions come up. Most of the time I feel knowledgeable and up-to-speed with your average etiquette questions, but every now and then I am even stumped. 

For instance:
  • How do you address a couple who are both Judges, what is the proper way?
  • Is it OK to start sending thank you notes for wedding gifts even though my wedding is months away?
  • What range of prices should I have on my registry based on the number of guests I am inviting?
All of these are very real situations that often don't have a clear cut answer.  I decided to start a pinterest board titled, "Etiquette" in an attempt to house some of these tricky situations for both brides and everyday life.

So, do you know the answer to the above etiquette questions?  If not, check out my Pinterest board and check back as I will continue to update this.
