From This Day Forward

Nicole and I are creative people. We do things differently than most and always try to have a little fun of it. After I proposed to my beautiful wife (whom I love so MUCH!)… Nicole, one of our first questions was how are we going to do the invitation?

Invitation: We both agreed that we didn't want to do the typical ornate card. We wanted something a little bolder. In January we had gone to Savannah, GA for Nicole's Birthday with our friends Toni and Hall. We had such a wonderful time there and thought that getting married in a square would make for a beautiful and romantic location. With the location picked we began to get our ducks in a row.

We realized that because we were only inviting a hand full of guests we could make the invitation personal and special. While Toni was visiting us Nicole mentioned the infamous book, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. We all agreed that nobody has ever received a book as an invitation before and that would add the personal touch of Savannah. Neither of us liked the name so it was retitled, "From This Day Forward" and used our favorite photo from our trip in January.



It was cool because we just changed out the dust-jacket with all the official Wedding information and the guests could then read the book to get an idea as to what Savannah is all about. To include all the extra information about traveling, lodging and the schedule we came up with a book mark. Once we had all the pieces we just wrapped it in craft paper and illustrated it with a gold pen.

Thank You Card: The Wedding day was everything you want it to be, full of happy moments and great memories. We wanted to carry on the personal touch so we wrote a book review of our Wedding/Book "From This Day Forward" with some of the highlights, see below.
