Paper Parade: Help A Bride!

We have been working with Chelsea over at Buckets and Bunches and last night she came to an inconclusive decision on which typestyle to use for her wedding napkins we are printing up for her big day. Her timing was perfect, for as we messaged back and forth late in the evening I was having a font crisis myself with a wedding program. Isn't it nice to know you are not alone? Especially late at night?!

Click her and help her out by voting on your favorite typestyle for the napkins. We voted for our favorite. But we really like them all! Tough call - go make yours now! We'll be sure to show you the final design when all is said and done!
