Anytime I see a DIY Bride who tackles the wedding invitations, I have to throw her props because doing your own invites is no small feat (nor is doing ALL of the paper goods like this bride).

Well, that's exactly how we feel on SMP today. We've found ourselves a pretty, simple, clean, new look and although we are a little bit nervous to unveil it...we couldn't be more proud. We feel like we've put on our big girl pants with a logo that will stand the test of time, a header that is as clean and easy to... [MORE]
