I told you Jamie could take better pictures than me! Not only that but she is an amazing designer and we are beyond thrilled with our invitation suite. This is just a little hint of what the invitation will be like and it's so dern cute.

I couldn't decide which photo I liked best so here is a bunch.
Inside the envelope is a copy of the poem that was read to me at the super secret engagement ceremony.
Hummingbird
by Raymond Carver
Suppose I say summer,
write the word "hummingbird",
put it in an envelope,
take it down the hill
to the box. When you open
my letter you will recall
those days and how much,
just how much, I love you.

There is a pretty version of the poem here.

these envelopes are sooo cool! I love it!
soooo awesome
How romantic and pretty! What a cool idea to enclose the poem. :)
Simply beautiful. So clever. I am entirely jealous. I just bravely posted my attempt at our STDs. If you care to look! (Gosh the cheekiness!) Another much lower league in comparison to yours!
They look fantastic!!!
so beautiful - i love how these turned out!
Amazing. I am so impressed. I think these might be one of my favorite STDs ever.
oh my goodness- i just adore these. beautiful. and what a wonderful poem.
how darling and how INVENTIVE to use the poem and its special little envelope as a memento of your love. in a sea of bespoke wedding invitations these are truly original. of course they are- jamie made them!
(full disclosure: my now-huz proposed to me with a robbert burns poem about love in the midst of war, and, seeing as he was about to deploy to iraq, it was quite fitting. so i'm partial to engagement poems.)
These came out great! Love the poem. :)
Truly amazing! First fell in love with these over at The Sweetest Occasion, then had to come see more for myself. Well done!
k, so i'm a little behind, but now i've just realized that YOU are A+I.
carver poems, big sur engagements in yurts (i lived in a ger in mongolia in 2006 so i have a thing for round, portable living spaces that look like meringues) AND a shared reverence for the desert. and killer vintage baubles and sexy wedding cakes. you've won my heart. w o n my little h e a r t.
congrats on your magical engagement and the upcoming nupes! hooray!
these are so beautiful! i loove that sweet poem tucked into the teeny envelope. perfect.
Those are beautiful! Love it!
Aww! I love these...I'm a huge sucker for cute poems too...
