There are some people you should know. Especially if a) you live in Chicago, b) need something screen printed, or c) like nice, friendly folks. Say hello to Justin & Erin of Barrel Maker Printing. They printed our wedding invitations, and the experience couldn’t have been more pleasant. We don’t wanna give away our finished invites just yet (we haven’t put them in the mail yet, sheesh), but we did want to let you in on the process. Not only do they have a cool workspace that they let me photograph, but they’re laid back and their services are very affordable (and worth the price). Thanks, Justin & Erin, for being yet another lovely, hassle-free vendor we’ve worked with in planning our wedding. Maybe we’ll see you at the farmer’s market in a couple of weeks?

Though the B-bops and I haven’t set a date yet, my head is buzzing with wedding plans. And because I’m really good at forgetting things, it’s a well developed skill of mine really, I’m turning each idea into a blog post! This will create a permanent record that we can look back through when the actual planning occurs, which will probably be a couple years from now if we don’t win the Crate & Barrel Ultimate Wedding Contest*. So what’s my first idea, you ask?

JK. I’m actually more like the opposite of edgy. I’m a big proponent of hugs and baby animals… and hugging baby animals. But that doesn’t mean I can’t look edgy right?
P.S. I realize that some of these items, a ceramic mug, for instance, may not appear “edgy” to some. Just go with me on this. It’s all about the color scheme here. K? Thanks.
