I love weddings!
And since I'm just the helpful aunt I get to enjoy the wedding preparations without stressing about travel arrangements for out-of-town guests and requested microbrews that don't seem to be available. (I'm going on record now that my two boys can just elope and it'll be okay with us and our bank account.)
I love making signs and chalkboards so I volunteered to take on several projects for my lovely niece. Like these "thank you" signs--take a photo with the bride and groom holding them and you have perfect, memorable thank you notes.
This was based on the Chopin font with a sprinkle of Brock capitals--I used the same combo for my Meadowsweet Cottage sign. You know that the partnership is going to go well when the bride chooses one of your favorite fonts!
BTW, she's fabulous at getting her thank-you's out immediately. I appreciate that great etiquette and I'm happy to help her out.
I have some swirls to add on her Choose a Seat sign and I'll be finished with that. I had a lightbulb moment about how to transport and assemble the biggest project I took on for the bride and groom. (Now I just need some dowels and a drill, she said mysteriously. ) And I'll soon have the food and drink menu in hand so I can do the lettering on those with a chalkboard pen. The end is in sight--good thing, since the wedding is right around the corner!
Bring joy,

ReplyDeleteThanks, Joanne! I'm a font junkie and it's nice to have an excuse for it now.

You certainly inspired me with all your wonderful wedding preparations, Carol! But when do you not?
DeleteI can't remember the last time I went to a wedding and I love them so much! I too am appreciative of good etiquette, it seems a lost art. Bravo to the newlyweds!
