Love Birds Wedding Invitations

Earlier today I posted a gray and yellow inspiration board for spring weddings with a bird and pussy willow motif. I wanted to continue with the bird theme and share with you some wedding invitations and save the date cards from etsy. Some are cute and some are elegant - and there's many more if you visit etsy.com and do a search for either "love birds invitations" or just "bird invitations".
