I don't want to give any of the specifics away, but last week Erin's father, the amazing Mr. Geof Huth, came through with a truly fantastic design for our invitations, and is getting them printed for us as we speak. Geof is, for those who are unaware, a quite accomplished visual poet with a staggering intellect for linguistic deconstruction and a great eye for typography, but was thankfully willing to slum it in the practical design world as a favor. We had investigated several of the mass-produced templates that are available from printers online, and even found a few that we liked, but really we wouldn't have wanted these things done any other way, and ultimately I enjoy the fact that our invitations are going to arrive at our guests' doorsteps with both a style that is uniquely our own and a personal family touch.
So I just wanted to devote this post to all of our friends and family we have putting their creative abilities to work to help us make this wedding awesome. Again, I don't want to give too much away by getting into specifics (I'll try to give some more personal shout-outs after the fact), but we've got folks helping us out with everything from the food to the decor to the music, and we couldn't be more excited. I don't think we could make this into the kind of event that we could stand behind without their help.
Also it fulfills my action/heist movie fantasy of assembling a ragtag team of misfit specialists to pool their skills to make something impossible happen. I just hope when this is all done they're not disappointed with their cut of the loot.
