Charm & Fig

Katherine came to me looking for a classic and fun wedding welcome piece for her winter Tomball wedding. She wanted to share Tomball's country charm to all her out-of-town guests, so we included a list and corresponding map of their favorite eats, treats and shopping in the area. Welcome paper front & back and coordinating Thank You notes. Joy & Gratitude. I loved that they wanted something a little different than the typical Thank You. Weddings truly bring me so much joy!

Why the bachelorette weekend itinerary? The party planners already know who is going, who is on the fence -- but a mailed piece gives the guests an idea of what's in store for the big weekend. These weekends take so much planning and commitment by everyone attending, so the bridesmaids usually know who is 'in' or 'out' far in advance. and suddenly, a generic invitation becomes a bit arbitrary. ...but there's still so many details to communicate to the guests and an email can be a little lack-luster. The bachelorette itinerary is an easy way way to get the guests...
