Hopefully by now you are all officially invited to our wedding. We had a great time designing the invites with a letterpress house out of Minnesota. Back when I worked with the Youth and Aids Projects (YAP) in Minneapolis, I used to spend my lunch breaks outside the office in Loring Park. One of my favorite places to window shop along the park was Lunalux – a charming paper house that gives homage to the aesthetic influence of steampunk while cranking out high tech results. Hooray for our wedding for letting me put my shopping desires to use!We worked with Jenni, Lunalux’s owner and letterpress maven to design our eco-friendly invitations. The little lovebird that you see in the corner of the invitation is an original design by Erika Buentello, a fabulous illustrator from Texas. And after an adventure that involved a craigslist and a freecycle transaction, Marisa and I were able to get our hands on a typewriter for putting on the addresses. And while there aren't a lot of stamp options these days beside cracked bells and serpentine wedding hearts, we were delighted to find that one of our options was the State of Minnesota. Our Minnesotan kittens thought the stamp was truly delightful and in dedicated to them.
We look forward to your RSVPs and don’t forget to book your hotel room as soon as you can.
Love, m&g

It was a pleasure to work with you two! I hope you have a fantastic wedding celebration with all your loved ones, and if you ever make it back to MN, please stop by to say hi.

Marisa - Just a reminder that now that you are hitched, you have forsworn all other Babes beside Gail.
It was great. Thanks for having us!
