I wonder have you heard of the New York Stationery brand Paperless Post?

I am about to show you a revelation in wedding invites that where not only can you send them in paper format, but also through the world wide web. It’s a great innovative idea, as most people tend to have friends and family all round the world these days. Paperless Post enables you to connect with your loved ones, with the brucey bonus of keeping those postage costs down. So I have taken the liberty to have a look on their website and choose my very own favourite invites. They are all very beautiful with collaborative designers such as Kate Spade, Oscar de la Renta and Vera Wang to name a few.

So creating a modern day theme, I have chosen the “custom made” invite to write about on my blog. If your not the creative type, the Quia II Belini is perfect for creating the your very own personalised Save the Date card. Not only will it fit you both as a couple, you could almost mix it up a bit by creating a collage of images and placing them in a moodboard template, try using Pixlr, this makes a real statement about you both as a couple.

Let me show you how, using images from  and , and come on a WedVenture with me….

Theme: Me, myself and our selfie…….

Timeless and stunning, no matter what, your loved ones will love seeing you both at your happiest and relaxed. The pre-engagement images from  show how you can use these images …..

The Invites

For a city wedding why not go for one of these chic invites to seal the theme. Looking at our New York bride Lucy, if I was to get an E-vite to a New York wedding the credit card would be out and flights would be booked asap. Take a look……
