Paper Shouts and BRIDE WARS

We all have our own styles—we have our own style when it comes to our wardrobe, our home décor, even the events we plan. When it came to planning my wedding, my style was simple and casual, but classic, and my invitations reflected that.

I made my own wedding invitations, but looking back, I would’ve saved myself the time and stress and ordered them from one of the many great companies that excels in stationery, such as Paper Shouts.

Paper Shouts offers a variety of styles of Bridal Shouts, which includes bridal shower invitations, save the date cards, and they just launched their new Couture line of Wedding Invitations (all of their Shouts are printed on 100% recycled, high-quality, uncoated paper)!

This is one of my favorites, in the Traditional Style:

Finding a venue was also a part of the planning process, and I selected a very classic hotel, and my favors and decorations were very simple, yet charming.

Thank goodness it wasn’t until AFTER my wedding that a friend told me how her cousin booked the same ballroom on a future date at the same hotel only to find out a month before her wedding that the wedding coordinator accidentally double-booked it (if she told me before my wedding I’d freak out! Unfortunately for my friend’s cousin, she ended up having to move her reception to another facility in the hotel since she had a lesser number of guests). A similar situation happened on the movie BRIDE WARS (to be released on DVD April 28), starring Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway.

BRIDE WARS: Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway), best friends since childhood, are always there for each other, through good times and bad. They even become engaged to be married within a few hours of one another. Together they plan their respective weddings, each to take place at New York’s ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel. But a clerical error and subsequent clash in wedding dates pits the two brides – neither of whom will step aside – against each other, in a competition that quickly escalates into all-out war.

I haven’t seen the movie, but have read about how both main characters have their own style--Emma is more traditional and easy-going, while Liz is a sassy perfectionist. I’d probably relate more to Emma’s style.

When it comes to weddings, or any occasion or aspect of our lives, we all have our own style. And whether you’re more of a traditional gal, more modern, or somewhere in between, you can always find something to suit your style when it comes to stationery on Paper Shouts.
