The first thing you should know about me is that I'm into all things digital (hello,I work at POPSUGAR!), and I'm obsessed with recycling. So when it came to dealing with invites for my wedding, or I just wanted to send an e-vite and call it a day. My more-traditional fiancé had other plans,favoring the traditional paper types.

I was assigned a designer (Sheri Gruver,whom I highly recommend!) to attend me create the invitation of my dreams.Here's what I learned in the process:
