I’ve been thinking of rebranding Papertalk for a while now, and as of last night, the rebrand is complete! The website has gone through a mini-makeover, and my newest business cards are here! Check it all out:
Currently in the works is an online store… soon you can order your invitations directly from my website . Exciting stuff!
Time is really flying by and J and I haven’t thought about who will be officiating our wedding. Last time I checked our to-do list (5 minutes ago), we were about 30 check marks behind. Yikes – quite a few things overdue, with a few catching my eye: “Start looking for an officiant who suits your style and spirit”, “Start interviewing officiants who suits your style and spirit” and “Book your officiant who suits your style and spirit”.
Officiants aren’t usually the people brides dream of when they start their wedding plans, and if you’re of a particular religious persuasion, it’s pretty much determined for you already anyway. But for non-denominational folk like us – we get the challenge of picking and choosing a person who probably knows nothing about us but are to play one of the most important roles in our life.
My brother and sister-in-law had (who I assumed was) a random perform their civil ceremony when they got married, and I must say it was something that I don’t want repeated at our wedding. She was robotic/scary (“everybody sit!”, “no pictures!”, “everybody stand up and clap!”, “everybody leave!”) and sped through the ceremony so fast I was barely able to catch their vows. But, for someone who’s only met you once or twice for a brief get-to-know you, and to go through logistics… is it realistic to expect much more?
Let this post be a cry out to my friends who I may not have known to be ordained ministers or Justice of the Peaces (is that how you write that in plural?), or even priests/rabbis – show your faces and help us on this sort of special super important day!

By the way, here is the dreamiest wedding ceremony I have ever been to (and it took place right in my living room):
The typeface you use on your invitation says a lot about the feeling of your event. I find that many non-designer brides and grooms overlook this important part of their wedding – too many times have I seen bad fonts happen to good people.
If you have absolutely no idea what to do and how to start, then take a look at the following examples (all Papertalk approved typefaces, ha ha). What kind of moods do the following type combinations create?
Play with different fonts and see what looks good together. Keep in mind the following pointers, IMHO of course:
Please…
A great place to start is Veer. A most delightful selection of fonts that you can purchase awaits you here! If you’re looking for freebies to play around with, I am faithful to one of my favourite freebie font websites, dafont. Just remember that most free fonts are not created by typographers, which means they may have funky spacing, unclean edges, or missing parts of the alphabet.
You know you’re reaching your late twenties when your friends start dropping off the single boat and getting engaged. Just wanted to say congratulations to my lovely Jmo, who got engaged on the weekend to her boy of many, many years! It’s about time! Wishing you the best planning journey ever with your *ahem* fiancé.
J and I spent Sunday morning at Evergreen Brick Works, where we met with Tara for our e-session. The night before we were busy celebrating J’s birthday and roaming the downtown streets for Nuit Blanche, so to be camera-ready and beautiful at 9:30 was a bit of a stretch. But when I saw our first set up in the woodsy pathways of the forest, I was very, very excited and full awake!
I can’t wait to see our photos posted on Tara’s blog… I’ll be sure to share them with you!
