book wedding invite - Migonis Home

Our friends Brian and Jade are getting married in August (pictured below)

and we just got the most fabulous wedding invitation from them… it had to be hand delivered. It was a book wrapped in Kraft paper and tied with twine with a burlap type rose.

After I gingerly opened the package (I was dying to just rip it open) this is what I found… a library card (that Jade had ordered from a library supply store online) with the dates of all their significant events (first date, first kiss, engagement and then some less significant events but that were meaningful to them as a couple. Jade is seriously creative, she always make journals out of old books (hence the invite theme) and wanted to include the entire book in the invite packet so she used a piece of fabric on the right to secure all the pages together. Their photo and the wedding invite was under the fabric.

Isn’t that invitation incredible? Jade put so much thought into the creation of it and then so much time into actually making each one. I asked her if she was going to submit it to a wedding magazine. Immediately she said to me, “no, I don’t want anyone else to have to go through what I did.” 🙂 She and Brian have been scouting out yard sales and antique shops for all their own vintage dishes for the wedding… I’ll post about more of their creativity after their August 14 wedding.

absolutely incredible!! My mom may have some vintage plates she is willing to sell to them if they are still looking. Her antique collection is unbelievable!! Are they looking for all the same or different plates?

I just have to say I never ever saw a cloth rose on a twine in lieu of a sealing wax. What an original and marvellous idea. Genuinely unique. Congratulations to whoever thought of it!
