poodle hopping

these 3D pop up invitations from lucy jane batchelor are so sweet, we kind of want to put them in shadow boxes and hang them on a wall. there are lots of other cute things on her site, as well. our favorite is the "make yourself a balloon poodle" card, which comes with two balloons. too bad we're having trouble grabbing a pic of it.

wood that they could

you know, we've said it before and we'll say it again: we're just not ready to get married. lovely institution, wrong time. but these wedding invitations from oslo press are just too good not to mention. we wonder if the good people at oslo would consider doing other custom work besides wedding invites on their wood veneer papers. could they? wood they?

that's why we switched to reisling

these great items from aliroo combine two things you definitely need to make a good party: coasters and invitations. the invitations are to welcome friends, the coasters are to keep them. as wine-fueled ruiners of both carpets and coffee tables, trust us on this one. and look how cleverly we managed to sneak yet another moving announcement under your noses!

it's that kind of party

Letterpress coasters as invitations? GENIUS! ($8.50 for a set of 4 from Orange Button) And hey, if you want to be a little frugal, force your guests to bring their invites to the party. [Via Modish, thanks.]
