Being a native of the Lowcountry, nothing is more quintessentially 'Lowcountry' to me than Carew Rice's silhouette art (scroll down a bit). This is something of a tribute to his work.

We cut every piece of paper and made the pockets ourselves. Michael made the nifty plexiglass cutting template for the top edge of the pocket.
Total cost with postage was about $150 for 80 invitations and 70 mailings.

We were scheduled to be married there until big changes in our family, causing us to move 3.5 months before the wedding and changing our venue, and adding a lot of work to prepare and make for the new venue - our home.
