Written, sent and now waiting


Yesterday I sent out most of my wedding invitations. These invitations are beautifully quirky. Designed by the very talented Zoe Sadler. Zoe is an illustrator who has recently branched out into wedding stationery.
My wedding has a vintage glam feel, and I wanted my invitations to reflect this, but I also wanted to have a Zoe style twist.

Seems to me planning a wedding is one huge learning curve. So for any brides to be out there, here are some tips to make the invitation process a little easier:
1. Don't leave it until 3 months before your wedding to decide what you want your invitations to look like
2. Have a definite number of guests
3. Make sure you know the correct spellings of all your guests' names
4. Don't try to write your invitations when you have to deal with a tipsy fiancé
5. And finally, most importantly don't use ribbons around you're inquisitive 9-month old kitten.


So now the invitations have gone out it's a waiting game for the RSVPs to come back. Woop woop.

Hello!


Welcome to charlie moments. Firstly, let me tell you a little bit about myself...
I work in marketing for a David & Charles, who publish tons of gorgeous craft books, it's a total source of inspiration. Which brings me on to personal me. I love to craft, in my mind there is nothing better than curling up on the sofa with loved ones, and crafting, though my fiancé gets annoyed with me ignoring him as I contemplate my knitting, complaining because I've dropped another stitch, or just making lots of noise with the sewing machine.
I'm also getting married, and I can guarantee that over the next ten weeks I will be blogging (whinging) about the trials and tribulations of final stages of wedding planning, dread to think what I'll be like when I'm actually married.
Anyway, look forward to blogging more to you soon.x
