Wedding Invitations... Check!!!

Well… my wedding invitations are done and mailed. It feels really good to finally have that part of the process accomplished. I will post the pictures as soon as I load them onto the computer. They came out super cute and I am extremely happy with them. Wedding invitations are one of the most important parts of planning a wedding. Although some think that a wedding invitation is not very important and once people send in their response they don’t pay much attention to the invite however I still feel it is very important to pay attention to detail. It is certainly not necessary to have all the fancy things on your invitation such as special printing techniques, ribbons or jewels however you must have proper wording on your invitation to let guests know what is going on and to give the appropriate party credit for hosting the event. The way you begin the wording on your invitation depends on who is hosting this big day. Nowadays it is completely appropriate and becoming more widely accepted for a couple to be paying for their own wedding. Times are tough in this economy and if a couple is paying they certainly want to get recognition for it. Included with your invitation you may choose to include directions and a response card in order to figure out who will and will not be attending your event. It is of great importance that you word this appropriately so your guests are able to respond accordingly. See… the details are very important! But don’t worry, I am here to help!
If a couple is paying for their own wedding they may be trying to do a lot of DIY projects to make things a little more inexpensive. DIY projects are extremely fun however extremely time confusing and can be somewhat tedious. That is what I am here for!!! Not only will I help you create your one of a kind event invitation but I will help you along the way with other projects such as party favors or décor. Don’t get frustrated, just ask for help from PPI (Priscilla Planned It)!

Bridal Hair Flower

So I really really want to wear a beautiful hair flower for my wedding but every flower I have found is either too expensive or not what I am looking for. So because of the do it yourself mindset my family has, my mom is attempting to make me one. We bought fabric from JoAnn Fabrics in silk and organza and will be attempting to make our own. I will keep you posted as it comes along and if it comes out beautiful I will tell you exactly how we made it!

Flowers with a touch of cuteness...


I was just on Martha Stewarts wedding blog looking for flower ideas for my own wedding and found these. I think the 2 little bows around the stems are so cute! It really adds a subtle elegant touch.

Plan by Day, Party by Night

I currently plan events for my sisters company (Expressions of Talent). Anywhere from company events to birthday parties, weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, etc. I make things happen for these events from start to finish. I will take the hassle out of planning an event from dealing with vendors to utilizing my creative mindset to come up with a custom design that will please every audience. Now not only will I help plan your event but because I am already getting to know you through the process I will create a custom invitation based on your personality and expectations.

Where to start...

I am finally starting my own event planning and invitation business and thought this would be a good place to get the word out. I have been making invitations for friend's and family's events for years and have finally decided to make it more than just a hobby.
I put together a few invitation samples and will be creating more. Once I have finished I will post them on here for all to see and if I tempt you enough you will order some for your nexy big event.
Well, here it goes...
