Handmade Wedding Invitations

These past 5 years of designing wedding invitations sure has shown me what a variety of designs brides are wanting. No matter the request, it is fun to find the little details they crave and put them on an invite. I always say the invitation is one of the MOST important things because it is the first impression you give to your potential guests about what you event will be like. I'm still waiting for one who wants formally printed menus on their place settings, but until then, I am enjoying designing for some 2014-2015 brides.

If you are engaged and shopping for wedding invitations, what do you look for?
