A save-the-date option

Kelley is the dog.

We are trying to think up alternatives to the traditional wedding invitation. This design, by Stella Marrs, jumped out at us while browsing in the News Cafe in South Beach. We resisted buying out the lot at that moment and were happy to find bulk orders on her website, www.stellamarrs.com.

Early in our relationship, I actually gave Kelley a card of this design featuring a cat in a bridal veil. "No more nights in the alley," it read. Prophetic.
