If my etsy shop sales are any indication, chevron is definitely a hot pattern for weddings. I'm currently working on 3 printable invitation suites for weddings and bridal showers that feature chevron in the background. Plus, I'm getting ready to start a 4th suite with a custom flower request {sweet peas} on the chevron background. Each of the 3 orders shown above feature different color combinations and I'm loving each one. Particularly the brown that was requested with my hand-drawn billy balls {craspedia}.
One of my favorite parts of invitation suites is seeing what the bride wants to say for the "accepts/declines" lines on the RSVP cards. The cards above say:
____ See Y'all There
____ Sorry, Can't Make It
------------------------------------------------------
____ Gladly Accepts
____ Regretfully Declines
Are you planning to be a guest at an upcoming wedding? Surprising the happy couple with a fun and unique wedding gift will surely bring a smile to their face. The UncommonGoods website has a great selection of wedding gifts for the bride, groom and the newlyweds. A few years ago I remember ordering the cutest picnic backpack for my cousin's wedding. We bought a bottle of wine to include with the gift and since they were an outdoorsy couple and liked to hike, this gift was perfect for them. Tip: finding wedding gifts that relate to the couple's personality will always be a win-win for you and the bride and groom.
Above is just a sampling of the many unique gifts you will find at UncommonGoods {including the picnic basket which they still carry}. What unique wedding gift have you given to another couple?
