Bookish business cards and wedding invitations
Some eye candy for your weekend. ![]()
Jessica Claire, a photographer down in Orange County and who I’ve been following for a couple of years, just got married. She has a thing for locks, so her save-the-dates had a key motif, and her invitations? Well, I’ll just let you see those for yourself. You can find her full blog post here, and all images are courtesy of her.
And the invitations…
I loved loved loved my invitations, but these are making me wish I could go back and redo mine.
These next ones are from Zenadia Designs:
This really takes the cake. “The story of Nikki & Nick.”
I first saw these on lit*chick’s tumblr account:
After seeing all this bookish stuff, I wish I was newly engaged (to the same guy) and a librarian.

Wow, those book invitations are amazing. I’m guessing that they had a small wedding. Can you imagine making 200 of those?

O to the M to the G, Trish! This is proof that we really are soul mates. I found Jessica Claire’s blog 3 years ago when I was planning my wedding and my photographer linked to her. So I saw the bookish invitations and swooned over them also….and oh, how cool would they have been for my library wedding?! She’s awesome, and I love that we have additional confirmation that our friendship was in the stars all along.

Gorgeous! And so original. I have to say, I love that YouTube wedding dance down the aisle – why not shake up tradition?

What cute ideas!!
I’m in the process of planning my wedding right now, and I’m collecting all sorts of different book theme ideas for the invites & wedding. This is one of the best I’ve seen so far, I’m so jealous.

They really are beautiful and unique. I am going to have to keep these in mind for my brother’s wedding (although they don’t love books near as much as I do). Thanks for posting these!

I adore the gorgeousness and originality people are able to come up with. I don’t have a creative bone in my body (at least for these types of things) so I marvel at how beautiful it all turns out.

These are so cute. I’ll have to consider them for when I get married (yeah, I’m thinking ahead, marriage is pretty far off for me, but a girl can dream, right?)

These are so unique! I love the book invitations! But the Key save-the-dates are probably my favorite.. they seem to be the most do-able

Great post!- Thanks for sharing
