Wedding Planner: A Letterpress Program For Your Big Day
As you may have noticed, I'm a big fan of letterpress, so it's probably not a surprise that my fiancé and I are considering using letterpress programs for our wedding ceremony. While not often used at more casual weddings, programs are always a lovely keepsake for guests. Traditionally, wedding programs are a small booklet featuring the couple's names front and center, although it's becoming more common to use a single sheet of paper explaining the basics of the ceremony.
The Card Shop: Thank-You Cards From Two Trick Pony
Laurie Mee and Carrie Siegel, the co-owners of Two Trick Pony, create delightful card designs that are screen-printed by hand on 100 percent post-consumer waste recycled paper with water-based inks. I love the retro look of their designs, and the straightforward perfection in the cards' sentiments.
Since I'm in the middle of writing thank-you cards to our wedding guests, my eye was particularly drawn to these thank-you cards ($16 for six cards and envelopes).
Would You Say "I Do" to a Pop-Up Wedding?
Who doesn't love pop-up books? Or Pop-Up Video? So why not a pop-up wedding chapel?
The Card Shop: Hello! Lucky Wedding Invitations by Joel Dewberry and EIEIO
As if weddings weren't exciting enough, one of my favorite stationery companies, Hello!Lucky, has just launched two new collections of wedding invitations designed by the talented textile designer Joel Dewberry and decorative paper studio EIEIO. Each collection includes an average of six different designs, with varying colorways and the option to order the works: RSVP cards, save the dates, wedding announcements, thank-you cards, accommodations cards, reception cards, directions cards, menus, place cards, and seating cards.
Additionally, all of the materials can be printed either digitally or by letterpress — I'd go with the latter if I were you!

The Card Shop: Papeterie Bridal Shower Invites
At home, I'm a modern woman with the décor to match. But when it comes to weddings, I'm a traditionalist. No matter how laid-back (or wild and crazy) a girl may be, I'm all for elegance and sophistication on the big day.

The Card Shop: Hello!Lucky's New Site and Cards
One of my favorite card shops, Hello!Lucky, is celebrating the new year with some new changes. The vintage-inspired letterpress stationery company has a new website , which is easier to navigate and looks darn lovely, and it's also introducing digital printing. Why digital printing?
Don't Forget to Say Thanks!
When planning your wedding, it's important to say thank you. Although a handwritten note may seem old-fashioned, it's thoughtful and shows your appreciation. Give thanks to the people who send you gifts and the people who help make your wedding happen.
The Wedding Program
Although a guide to your ceremony is not a must for your wedding, programs have become increasingly popular as of late. Like many other parts of the wedding stationery, you have full creative liability here. Generally the program should be in the same style and form as the invite, save the date card, directions, and any other part of the stationery trousseau.
