Our invitations were designed by me, Sharon, and my good friend and awesome designer Kara Schlindwein. They were printed by Panorama Press, who was a dream to work with! (I made the Save-the-Dates myself, with a picture taken on my iPhone by Sonrisa and some of our photobooth photo collection. They were printed for super cheap by Vistaprint.)
We bought the beautiful, perfect, vintage tandem Schwinn off eBay from a lovely family in Connecticut, who bought in 1963 and took amazing care of it all these years.
We made all the bunting (those triangle-shaped banner things) and table runners (the big pieces of fabric on the tables) ourselves using old sheets and some new fabric. We collected the jars and bottles and vases for the centerpieces over many months, with invaluable help from our friends and family, especially our moms, Phyllis Erwin and Helen Wasko! We bought the flowers online from fiftyflowers.com.
The cake toppers were from Etsy, and although they weren't meant to be cake toppers, they were adorable! Aqua owls!
Our amazing caterers were Diverse Caterers, and while we wish we got leftovers, we have to admit they did an incredible job, making a wide variety of fish-based, vegetarian, vegan, and/or gluten-free foods from several continents. Everything we got to try was delicious and the waitstaff was super helpful.
Our incredibly delicious cupcakes were made by Dana Boyer at Baby Cakes. I want a lifetime supply of those things!
We also need to thank Jim Erwin for his expert choice of wines! You guests didn't drink enough of it, maybe because it was so hot that day, but that just means we have a long-lasting supply!
More thank-yous:
