reading the lines differently

Browsing through my favorite paperie sites, I'm always struck by how creative wedding invitations are getting to be.  Of course we will still be held by the sweetness of the traditional, but there's no denying that we'd all utter "I wish I could do that" or "I wish I did that" when faced with the contemporary work out there.  And I'm not even talking about passports or themed movie tickets. 

These are actually just simple new ways of looking at an invitation layout.  The smart combination of fonts and colors.  Yes, block wide letters can go with elegant flowing script.  From simple, to utterly overflowing with prettiness.  And mind you, they're still traditional letterpress.  Which is all the more lovely.

what can you do with your monogram?

So your wedding is done and you can't quite let go of your monogram.  It's something from your special day that you could potentially see or use everyday... unlike of course your wedding gown (although personally, I wish I could wear it again, for one insane reason or another). 

Well, here are a couple of pretty ideas from Etsy that you could do with your wedding logo to make the memories last a wee bit longer:


Make it a wall decal on your home.  from Luxeloft.


Love reading?  Make it a stick-on bookplate.  from Oodles of Color.


Make it your official notecard and return address sticker.  from Le Papier Studio.


Have it made into a self-inking return address stamp.  from Purple Lemon Designs.


Adorn your living room with them as throw pillow covers.  from Fancy 4 U.
