Moving Announcement!
Big Announcement:
After five years on Far West I have decided to close Inviting Affairs retail store and focus on our growing invitation business. We are moving to a studio in Rosedale. You will still be able to order personalized stationery, cups, keychains etc. We will also still carry our favorite lines like Rifle Paper Co., Boatman Geller, One Canoe Two, FarmHouse Fresh Goods, and many more. Everything in the shop right now is 50-90% off so come bay and get some really great deals.

Art That Inspires
The most beautiful stationery is one that tells a story. Each design and typeface reflects the individuals. This can be a lofty goal to reach in the design world, but that is when everything you encounter becomes an inspiration. One of our favorite ways to stretch our creative minds is to look outside the world of paper. Below are a few of our favorite art pieces & artists that have inspired us to stretch our imaginations & talents beyond expectation. {click here to view more}

Beautiful Austin Wedding
I know this pretty much goes without saying, but there’s nothing quite like a bright, yellow hue to add the perfect dose of happy to your Big Day. Not that this darling Austin duo needed it, mind you. Their smiling faces are delivering enough happy to last a decade (literally), but prop their downright adorableness up against a sunshiny backdrop like this one planned to perfection by Pearl Events Austin and it’s like the best day ever with amazing blooms from Bouquet of Austin and one lovely image after another captured by Concept Photography.
