Engagement Party: The Invites

{mom and dad working on the invites}

You've already seen the design for our engagement party (by Amanda of Customized Stationary). But I never showed you the details- and I know you all love details! My sweet mom and aunt went to Paper-Source to find envelopes that matched the blue just right- white wouldn't cut it for these invites! The saleslady at Paper-Source had the great idea to emboss the envelopes with a gorgeous silver glitter snowflake. We used a blue glitter pen for the calligraphy, which my mom did herself (milky pen flashback from 7th grade anyone?). The results were fantastic!Mom hard at work with the glitter

All lined up and ready to mail!

Engagement Party

I apologize for not posting this weekend- we were up in DC for our engagement party! The invites were made again by Amanda from Customized Stationary, and the party was hosted by my parents! My mom took the snowflake theme to heart, with silver and blue decorations throughout the house. And thanks to a last-minute dress fiasco, I ended up in silver myself!

Some of our bridal party that made the trip!

My very handsome fiance!
