i will admit that my owl obsession has dwindled [gasp]. i started collecting owl items a few years ago in college and i have some great pieces that i will never part with [ i'm convinced that one day my grandkids will ask their parents what's up with grandma and all those damn owls - haha]. oh well. although i have had too much of my share of owls - i will always be a lover of all things bird-related and therefore this custom invitation by matthew bowers is right up my alley! so cute!

please, mr. postman

when j and i first started dating, we would go to the local playground and do mad libs for hours! mad libs played a large role in those first few months when we were getting to know eachother. since our first road trip to panama city beach [and no, not during spring break!] consisted of mad libs for the majority of the drive, mad libs will always be close to my heart. i can't wait to fill this one out and send to my boy. so cute!

if there's someone super special in your life, you should send it to them too because it never hurts to randomly remind him/her that you think of them always.

this tradition may also show itself in our diy invitations. we've discussed doing a similar rsvp card to the folks over at redprairiepress.blogspot.com below! they are so fun and unique. and i feel like they probably truly reflect the couple's personalities. it would be so awesome to get an invitation like this one in the mail!




did you include any of your personal traditions in your invitations or save the dates?
