I designed the invitations myself in Word. Together with our friends and family, we hand-beaded and assembled 180 custom pocketfold invitations. It was a lot of work (more than I thought it’d be) but worth it in the end. They were unique and fit with all of our copperwire. They are 5×7 landscape, see vendor reviews for more information.

Including the mothers names was a very conscious and deliberate choice. We both think that reducing women to an abbreviation is completely ridiculous and a tradition/etiquette worth changing. Our mothers are spectacular women who we owe our lives to. The least they deserve is to have their names on our wedding invitation. :::stepping off soap box:::

Dad surprised us with custom stamps!!! (our very first picture ever taken together) He even put a copper border on them and our wedding date. I’m guessing they were expensive but people raved about them.
