Best idea for a wedding invitation I've seen yet? DIY postcard invites. I'm thinkin' that once I have the design I want sketched out--and naturally I'm thinking happy wolves and ultra-cute skulls--I'm soooo going with something like this.
I can see it now. We cordially invite you to "The Super-Fun Adventures of Wolf and Skull!"
Really, that's just what I'm looking for. I want the invitations to be fun. I want them to be us. And I want them to be inexpensive. I mean, maybe some folks are sentimental enough to keep wedding invitations forever, but I suspect most of our invites will end up in the garbage after the wedding. This is not something we need to spend a ton of money on
Now, I'm probably not going to personally water-color every invite. I'm more of a GIMP guy. But I don't think it will cost much to have some personally designed postcards printed. I'm thinking of VistaPrint, which I've seen recommended for inexpensive printing. I will be checking their price against Kinkos, of course.

One Ring?
My first thought on finally trying to get the wedding off the ground was that I still have yet to buy Tiffany an engagement ring.
Neither one of us wants gold. At least, definitely not yellow gold. Not our color really. White gold would be ok with her, as long as it's pretty. Me, eh, whatever. Mostly we wear silver, and I'm not sure I'd be comfortable in anything else.
I don't give a hang about diamonds. She'd be fine with diamonds as long as they are sparkly.
While looking through the web at sapphire rings (and I had chosen dark sapphire because of the color corresponds with sloes), she tells me that she wants an amethyst. (What was I thinking? Of course the Hel-Girl wants purple!) So, I've been scanning the web for amethyst and silver rings.
I found some really interesting stuff on Novica, a site that sells artist and artisan work from around the world. However, she was blah about all of them except this one:
And that one is alright, I reckon. However, it finally occured to me to check Etsy. And, of course, they have all kinds of funky rings.
Among our favorites are some big ole sparkly amethysts, a shiny skull with hearts, and a couple of Nifelheim-appropriate icy blue stones, but what took the cake was the Violet Coffin Ring:
While I realize it might be possible to find a better ring for Tiff, I highly doubt it.
Of course, now that I say that, she's going on about how pretty the ice blue rings are...
