I'm off to the Big Easy this weekend for a wedding. It took baby sister heading to LSU for school to give me my first taste of N'awlins, and I love it!
The culture, the sounds, the colors, the history, the vampires. It's almost like you're in another country. Which, with all the rich history it holds, you just might be!
If you've never been, put it on your must do list.
Have a beignet at Cafe Du Monde.
Marvel at the architecture in the French Quarter.
See what all the Voodoo hype is about.
And, take a tour. Any tour. The Garden District. A cemetery. The swamp.
The one thing I missed out on last time was the "amazing food" I'd heard so much about. I have it on good authority that I'll definitely get my fill of Cajun & Creole cuisine this time.
If I close my eyes, I think I can hear the jazz drifting out onto the cobblestone streets, and into the warm night air.
So, I know I'm always going on & on about the beauty of custom, but I'm here to say it again.
The other day I got an email about a bachelor party invitation from the site. My new friend did a search of something along the lines of "new orleans invitation", and lo & behold, one of my designs popped up.
So, after a little chit chat, a tweak here & there, we went from this:
to this:
She found the bachelor party invitation, and made it her own. We threw in some pink, changed the phrase to the french version, and added the bride-to-be's name to the Bourbon sign. How cute is that, by the way?
Now, you might be thinking "well, that's not totally custom". But, it is. Because you know: if you find somethin' you like on the site, but you want to move this there, and change this color to that, it's still custom. It's custom, because you found an idea you liked, and ran with it your way.
See how fun this is?! And, please. Would you not book your ticket immediately to the bachelor/bachelorette party if you received this in the mail to set the tone for the weekend?
