The Wedding Yentas are excited to offer another sweepstakes in today’s Friday Favorites! Read below for your chance to win!
Okay, it’s time to get personal.
I’m not going to ask you questions about lady things or demand information about your upbringing. What I’m doing is telling you to get personal… about your wedding stationery.
From invitations to thank you cards, the paper goods of your wedding should reflect the style of your wedding and the personalities of you and your husband, individually and as a couple. Bringing a graphic designer into your mix of wedding vendors will allow you to really make your wedding yours. The chicken you serve at your wedding may be delicious, but the next weekend’s bride and groom may order the same entree. The chair covers you select may complement your wedding colors perfectly, but last week, they were on the seats used for the Smith wedding. Why not select an element of your wedding to really, truly reflect your individual… “ness.” Your playfulness? Your Jewishness? Your classiness?
Who can help you execute your “ness?” Behind Door #1, we have our favorite, ahem, Friday Favorite, graphic designer extraordinaire, Kari Beard of Simply SugarB. We love her work and want to make sure you all get a chance to see her style that any modern, Jewish bride would admire. She was recently featured in Brooklyn Bride and it’s a cool, behind-the-scenes look of a graphic designer’s studio.
Kari is based out of Washington, D.C. and thanks to the glory of modern day technology, if your wedding is taking place in the Motherland, Simply SugarB will be able to make sure everything is perfect for your big day in Tel Aviv. And Kari is a fellow member of the tribe, so she understands the importance of designing any Jewish elements or fonts you may want to include in your paper suite.
Simply SugarB also has a knack for creating chic and modern paper elements. We also happen to love monograms. Incorporating a monogram or logo into your wedding day personalizes the theme and style of your ceremony and reception. My wedding logo and monogram were on our ceremony programs, wedding favors, dinner menus, and out of town bags. It helped set the tone for the style our guests could expect of our day. And hey, if anyone celebrated too much and couldn’t remember whose wedding they were at, the A&B logo would help jog their memories! We love how this invitation includes a monogram at the top!
Today’s day and age calls for personalization even on the Internet. Kari can do web design for your wedding web site so all of your friends and families can stay on top of the details of your big day. There are sites that offer cookie-cutter templates, but do I really need to refer to my chicken dinner analogy again? Having a web site designed just for you is special and you can really bask in your Internet glow.
We love wedding monograms and logos so much, that we want to give away a set to a lucky winner!! To enter, leave a comment explaining the style of your wedding. Do your best to share your vision for the day: Is it formal and elegant? Is it casual and playful? Is it dark and sexy? There’s no wrong answer! Your style reflects you, and after all, we love getting to know our readers.
Comment and enter to win a set of monogrammed cards that you can use as thank you notes for your wedding-related occasions! Comments will be accepted through Sunday at 11:59 p.m. and the winner will be announced on Monday! Good luck!
