I came across Night Owl Paper Goods while I was planning my wedding. I saw they offered wood invitations and save the dates and I fell in love. Unfortunately, I we couldn’t afford them but I still plan to use that idea for something in the future. As I took a look around their shop I just couldn’t resist smiling at all the cute and unique items they sell. I just had to make them shop of the month. They rule!
Super crafty team, Alan Henderson and Jennifer Tatham, show their love for handmade goods, the earth and folk art through the design of their website as well as all the items they offer. They have been featured in numerous publications like Everyday with Rachael Ray and Cottage Living as well as the Today Show. Their unique goods can be found in hundreds of stores. I can see why!
Here are a few of my absolute loves from their shop.

I know many people don’t send letters anymore but there is nothing like receiving a handwritten note from someone you care about. When it comes to event invites and wedding items, creating a beautiful envelope is part of the whole experience.
One simple way to jazz them up is by using special stamps. I personally love vintage postal items because they really created some awesome designs back in the day. However, you can still find some really nice ones that are printed today. Here are some inspirations of old and new stamps that can really make or break an invite’s presentation.
These first few can all be found at USPS.com.
Now to take a trip back in time, here are some vintage treats I feel would make a great statement on your save the dates and wedding invitations as well as all the pre-wedding events. Enjoy!

I came across these items on one of my favorite blogs, Oh So Beautiful Paper, and had to share it. My love for sewn pieces and embroidery has grown so much throughout the years – from the time when I was looking for the multi-needle embroidery machine reviews myself to buy one, so when I see it used in a unique way, it truly makes me smile.
These next few examples really used this handmade accent in a beautiful way and truly were a success. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
And here are some more really cute things I found among my searches.
