Invitations and Favors

I haven’t posted anything new for awhile because I’m spending lots of time updating my other blogs and with the wedding coming down to four months, I’ve pretty much busy with that.

Check out my other blog: U Inspirare for some wedding inspiration blogs.

Also check out another blog I started for companies I found interesting:  Where Its Made

I attended the Invitation and Favors wedding workshop at The Wedding Cafe (i LOVE these people).  The Wedding Cafe only has two more workshops left, but this is the last one I’ll attend since it’s in town and gas in Hawaii has climbed to $4.00 (and that’s for unleaded!)…so I can’t drive into town every week, I already do it for my babysitting gig, but driving into town everyday without a jobby job doesn’t make sense to me.

There was pre-entertainment by Ben and Maila, who I wish I could afford for live music-but I have to stick to my budget.

Kinohi Designs were there representing and I didn’t know this company existed before but I did see one of the invitation designs they had exhibited on Wedding Paper Divas!  I almost ordered this very same invitation from Wedding Paper Divas and I didn’t know it was by Kinohi Designs.  Good for them!  I just check out their website and it’s lovely!

Creations By You were fun speakers and they love their bling, Swarovski crystals anyone?  This is a great place where you can go to with your ideas and then they can print everything but you put it together.  It’s for the DIY brides.

Creations by You..lots of DIY ideas here and as they said, lots of bling! Fun!

Next up is Shop Toast, my new fave!  I love their favor ideas-check out Whereitsmade for my blurb about them:

Shop Toast-my new favorite!! I love their mini pop favors, adorable!

mini pop favors with customized stickers! LOVE.

Cakeworks Hawaii was there and they usually do lovely wedding cakes but have opened a new line called Candyworks.

Here are some favors from Cake Works-they have a new line called Candy Works

The next vendor..oh how to explain, as I say in the caption, if I had the budget, Miemiko Atelier does letterpress invitation which is an art.

Miemiko Atelier -- gorgeous letterpress...ooo, if I had the budget to this I would have.

So pretty

gorgeous

Emi Ink is my favorite-I say that about everything I know, but  am serious when I say Emi Ink is my fave.  Her invitations inspired me as I make my own invitations.  I would love for Emi Ink to do my invites but I made a choice to DIY for invitations, but I admire the paper they use, the simplicity but wow factor.  It’s gorgeous and they do fabulous work!  Check out their website and they have a blog as well.

Emi Ink- I LOVE Emi Ink!

I love the color swatches-hey look! That's my color palette! 😉

 

so cute!

 

Menehune Mac makes all kinds of goodies too-who knew?  I thought they only made chocolate covered macadamia nuts, not so!

Menehune Mac! I never knew made favors too!

There were other vendors there-I just had no chance to grab a picture because the table was crowded!  But I had fun as usual and I had goodies as usual 🙂  Enjoy!
