paper and paper and um...well...paper

i have a few obsssions [which should actually read like a million] but this particular obsession has been something i've held near and dear to my heart from the very beginning.

paper.

i love it.

i love the way it feels in my hands. i love the way a good pen looks on a fresh clean sheet. i love thick paper that leaves an impression when you write on it.

don't get me started, i could go on for days.

that said i am sure it is not surprising when i tell you that the paper portion [save the dates, invites, programs, etc.] was the hardest part.

i will get more into the details of our paper in a different post but, i need to know:

were your invites more important to you than any other 'thing' [i.e. bridesmaid dresses, shoes, photographer] in your wedding?
