Kate Spade's Paperless Post

http://www.paperlesspost.com/

I am a huge advocate of creating e-invites or e-wedsites instead of printed ones. Now don't get me wrong. I loooove papers products and I used to collect them. But the fact of the matter is, it's wasteful. What do we do with invitations after we receive them? Do we REALLY think guests are gonna love it so much that they will display it forever? 

Some would argue that "there's still nothing like sending real invites to make guests feel special" but no matter how you argue it, there are OTHER ways to make guests feel special without having to do this. 

And this is a really serious issue folks. Do you know that the Philippines only has 24% of trees in our forest left? And this is just in our own neck of the woods--how about in the other parts of the globe? I don't claim that I am a pure blooded environmentalist but we can all contribute in our own little way. 

Kate Spade for The Paperless Post

E-invites are soooo easy and fun to make! The best part of it now is, Kate Spade has its own version of it as collaborated with The Paperless Post! So imagine sending out invites using Kate Spade's signature paper products but in paperless version! Oh how delightful! 

First, I'll show you some of the designs and what The Paperless Post is all about. And then next, I will show you a walkthrough of how to make one! It's easy as 1-2-3! 

The Paperless Post writes: "Communication is an extension of personal style: how you say something is often as important as what’s being said. Paperless Post modernizes the tradition of correspondence and helps you create cards and invitations that reflect an individual aesthetic. The medium is the message, after all. Happy sending."

The Rebellious Invite

Cootie Catcher Invite by oneLittleM (Etsy)

When Rebellious Bride Ji received the prototype of their cootie catcher invitation from Etsy, she and her friends were just absolutely delighted.

But it was a different story when she went home and showed it to her mom. They had an argument. Ji's mom could not understand what kind of an invitation her daughter came up with. Ji's mom was so affected in fact that she was not able to sleep that night. The following morning, she resolved the "invitation issue" by deciding to have her own formal invitations printed out for the more "gown-up" guests of the wedding. Ji was more than willing to compromise--but eventually, her mom decided to stick with the cootie catcher invite even for the "gown-ups".

When the titas first saw the invitation, their reaction was: "Ano ito?!?" (What is this?!?). Separately, my own mom also saw this invitation and as expected, was scandalized by how informal it was. They just don't get it, do they? Haha!

Well, we say this invitation is just ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! The cootie catcher idea is such a breath of fresh air! It definitely reflected the free-spirited personalities of the engaged couple!
