The sweetest seating chart for the sweetest bridal shower. In this day and pandemic-age, people are feeling all kinds of weird about how to interact with group events. Allow your guests to feel more at ease and create a seating chart for your smaller events too! Not only can you group people with their comfortability levels, but you also give your guests an easy landing point. Or maybe it’s just me who hates the awkward, “Soooo, where we gonna sit?” part of the party. 🙃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Seating charts start at $150 and are priced depending on the amount of text and surface material. Like this bride, feel free to purchase your own piece and then let me write it pretty for you! Or hit me up for some of my favorite local vendors who will also let me write on their pretty pieces.

A few posts back I shared the most frequently asked questions I get when it comes to envelope addressing (go check it and save!) and as we are heading into wedding season (yeeee!) I figured I would share some of my FAV addressing styles in my stories today. I’ll share some of my favorite work and also some inspiration ideas to help you get those creative juices flowing!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First up, navy blue + white. A CLASSIC FOR A REASON. Is there a better combo? I doubt it. Tell me your favorite color combo below! 👇🏼

Everything about this table-setting I adore! The moody florals. Succulent favors. White linens. And our wooden table numbers — available to rent!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Love seeing how each couple creates their own unique look for their special day! Save this post or take a look at my website to see more ideas of how to make these wooden table numbers a statement on your event day!

✨ FAQs for Envelope Addressing ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you charge? // $2.50 for guest + return address or $1.50 for guest address only per envelope
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How long does it take? // I prefer to have your envelopes 1-2 weeks prior to your send date!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you offer different styles of writing? // Yes, but this comes with a caveat! [Yes] I can modify my writing to accommodate more traditional or modern styles, but [no] I will not copy another calligrapher’s work! Feel free to send inspo photos though!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
HOT TIP! Create your guest list in google sheets and then add me to view! That way if addresses change or you need to add a guest last minute all you have to do is update the list and I’ll see the changes on my end. 👌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Save this post to come back and revisit later! Any other questions? Send them my way! 👇🏼

It’s been a little over two years since this sweet baby girl was born and I opted to stay at home full time. It’s wild to think that I’ve been out of the classroom that long (I was a 6th grade teacher for 5 years) and that I’ve been pursuing this sweet business during that time.
• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Know that when you choose my services, you are supporting a huge dream of mine! A dream that allows me to stay home with my babies during their little years and honestly I’m SO grateful for every order that comes my way, small or large. So thanks for being here and supporting my small business!

How is it possible I’ve never shared these little cuties? Cotton candy favors for the guests of the new Mr. & Mrs. Cotton. I mean, DOES IT GET CUTER? Answer: No, it does not.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! Although, does it really feel like Super Bowl this year? 🤷🏻♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am someone who loves to host, so 2020 really messed with me. We moved into our home a year ago and then the pandemic hit the next month. As with everything in 2020, all these plans to host and have our people over were put on hold. So I’m praying that 2021 is the year to redeem that excitement!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m dreaming of summer dinner parties on our (almost finished!) back patio and BBQs on the weekends. And hopefully some weddings to attend mixed in there too! 🤞🏼What gatherings are you hoping for in 2021? Tell me! 👇🏼

✨ Sign Rentals ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have chalkboards and vintage windows in my sign rental stock and it’s been so fun to see every client’s vision come to life in different ways! From seating charts to welcome signs, program signs to bar menus, it’s a great challenge for me to make them new each and every time!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Head to my website [link in bio!] to see the full listing + pricing of my rental options!

Let’s talk bar menus!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you plan to have a bar at your special event, you gotta have a bar menu to show off all your options! First, because they look pretty. Second, because they’re practical. And that’s basically me in a nutshell — I like things to be pretty, but practical. 🙃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bar signs are priced depending on the material you want to use (mirror, acrylic, wood, etc.) and the amount of text/design required. In my stories today I’ll be showing off some of my favorite designs I’ve had the pleasure of creating and sharing some designs I’d LOVE to give a try!

Jumping on this 8 About Me bandwagon! 😜
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1 // my husband and I have been together 14 years this coming April and will celebrate 10 years married in June. We got married at 22 and now, at the ripe old age of 32, I realize what BABIES we were then. 👶🏻
2 // unique names are a thing for me, hence my children’s names: Willow, Poppy, + Fox. I loved being the only person in school with my name whereas my husband (Ben) shared his name with 3 others in a senior class of only 42. 🤣
3 // my enneagram number is a 2 wing 1 for all you lovers out there 🤍
4 // my sister .watkins is my closest and dearest friend. We have that weird thing where we sometimes feel each other’s feelings and regularly start to text each other at the EXACT SAME TIME.
5 // I am number 10 of 32 first cousins on my dad’s side of the family and my husband almost took my maiden name for his own because I was pretty attached to it.
6 // i prefer all lowercase letters over capitalizing things. no idea why.
7 // sourdough bread + Pepsi are life. I would eat this combo every day if it wasn’t so bad for me.
8 // Jesus is my Savior. ✌🏼
