The wedding planning has begun. It’s all very low-stress. La dee dah. The only thing I really have to worry about is securing a dress. We’ve already chosen the place, the date, and the oh-so-insane menu. Secured the rabbi. Cleared the date with our families. We’re in need of a photographer, certainly, a florist for simple arrangements. But the rest of it will pull together without much effort. There will be no dancing. The Suitor and I despise weddings where we’re forced to dance. There will be entertainment, but neither a band nor DJ will be involved. We can plan our New York wedding from here this summer. Which means I’m counting on our friends to help out. It also means we’re doing a lot of it online. So in my search for invitations, I found these. One day, I swear, one day I will have invitations like that. A cashmere-wrapped invitation or an adorable knit sweater with pine cones (save the date), or an actual nest with moss and feathers (for a baby shower). These things aren’t just so over-the-top and extraordinary, they’re smart. Oh how I long to have invitations like that. I know they’re silly and extravagant, but oh my, a girl can certainly dream.
