Nothing gets me more excited than beautiful nature inspired art. So you can imagine, I got a little giddy when I saw this invitation. This may be the best, most beautiful, most time-consuming wedding invitation I've ever seen! The couple, gifted with talents galore, wanted to create as much of their rustic wedding  as possible, themselves. This began with the design and then the making of the invites. Ian {husband-to-be} spent 20 minutes for every 4 cards on the laser printer. The back kraft layers were also laser cut and then sewn onto the front card.  

Each guest received an invite, a field guide, and a map {all handmade, of course!}, all tucked into a hand-stamped envelope wrapped with twine and a little {hand-cut and sanded} wood button. 

After the wedding, the couple got busy on their 'Thank-you's': a little box filled with a photo display stand {aka wooden spool}, a hand stamped magnet, directions, and a photo from the big day.   

Everything was tucked on a little bed of moss.

I would have gladly made this couple a river rock rug if only they had invited me...
