If I were to do everything over again, I probably would have been a wedding planner.  Although it was stressful at times, I loved planning our wedding!

My husband’s family lives in California, and mine live in Japan, so we decided to hold our wedding halfway between both locations in Hawaii. Although it was a bit pricey for us, we decided to have our wedding at the Kahala Hotel & Resort in Honolulu, Hawaii.  It was such a beautiful location, but I knew that meant I was going to have to keep a close watch on our budget.

I went through many wedding magazines for ideas, but nothing came close to the Martha Stewart Weddings magazines.  Each magazine had creative and stylish ideas throughout and I wanted everything in them.  I especially loved all the invitations they featured, but was sad to find out how much it would cost. When I took a look at things in our price range, the only things they had were the typical white and black font invitations with white ribbon.

That’s when I thought I’m just going to have to make them myself and while I’m at it,  I’ll do the place cards and programs.  I looked around the Internet to try and find some instructions on how to make invitations from scratch, but there wasn’t a lot out there.  This is what inspired me to start up this website.  Thanks for stopping by!  More about me
