A special delivery in the mail

Ok, so I think it is safe for me to share this now... recently we picked up our wedding invitations!! One of those moments where you are thinking 'Wow, this is really happening' then you are overcome by a mass swarm of butterflies through your body!

Originally inspired by this concept (below), we wanted our invites to exude our laid back nature and ability to have a bit of fun. We are not about cliche romances - there will not be a single diamonte, rose, chair cover or even a gift registry at our wedding.

So first up, this is our 'Save The Date'. We sent these babies out in November (4.5 months before the wedding), since I have some international family members flying in for the big event!!

And here are the official invites! Totally wrapped in them (pardon the pun). A BIG thank you to Circle of Friends in Shepparton, Victoria - in particular Mahlah, for her beautiful creation. We have had so many wonderful comments on them already.

Now that they are in the mail and in the hands of our 40-50 guests, it is time to get cracking on the program, which I am overloaded with great ideas on.
