Included is the whole works - invitation, backing layer, response card, details card, ribbon and all the envelopes you need.
BOHEMIAN MOBILE BY BLUE LOTUS DESIGNS SHOP
I love this gorgeous, rustic mobile! You could hang this over your tables or in a few trees to create a stunning detail. A plus about this beauty is the lights weaved in at the top are battery-powered, so you won’t have an ugly cord sticking out of it!

Let your guests relive their childhood on this wooden swing! You can even customize it to include your names on the top of the swing, so after your wedding, you can set it up outside in your backyard.
SUNSCREEN SIGN BY LAVENDER AND ORCHID
If you’re in the south, you know we grow mosquitoes as large as they come. Help protect your guests with bug spray and sunscreen and use this pretty sign to tell them where to get it. Pro tip! Order natural bug spray that uses essential oils instead of the heavy chemicals. It’s much safer for your guests and they’ll smell much better!
LACE BUNTING BY BALOOLAHB
This dainty lace bunting would be a gorgeous addition to trees or an outdoor tent! It’s 8 feet long, so it’ll spread far and wide, with long ties on each end to attach.

WAGON BY MINIWAGONS
Oh my gosh, stop it. This wagon! If you’ve got a flower girl or ring bearer a little too young to walk - or one that you know will either run or freeze - this gorgeous handmade wagon is a perfect solution to get them down the aisle. It’s unfinished, so you can decorate or stain it however you please!
PERSIAN RUG BY ORIENTALS ART
If you’re saying you’re “I Do’s” in the woods, add some texture to the aisle with an oriental rug or two! This rug in particular is on the pricey side ($570), so if you go this route, make sure you like the rug enough to keep it in your home afterwards!
