bree's etsy series :: design by tine

Everything happens for a reason and timing is everything. I truly believe my husband and I are perfect examples of those two statements being true. We dated long distance in the beginning and our relationship progressed fairly quickly, but we both knew it was right. Since some of our guests did not know the detailed history of our relationship, we wanted to showcase it in a fun and unique way. We highlighted four fun facts about us and they made their debut on the cocktail napkins during the cocktail hour.

Bree & Brad FUN FACT #1:
They met for the first time at the nuptials of the Best Man & Matron of Honor in April 2003 – although sparks didn’t fly until Thanksgiving 2006!!

Bree & Brad FUN FACT #2:
They dated for 11 months before Brad proposed to Bree! They got married 11 months after Bree moved back to Michigan to be with Brad.

Bree & Brad FUN FACT #3:
Their first official date was at Mary’s (bridesmaid) 30th birthday party on New Year’s Eve 2006!!!

Bree & Brad FUN FACT #4:
The first year of their relationship was long distance - approximately 71,351 miles were traveled between them to see each other. That is equivalent to almost 3 times around the earth.

The seller, designbytine, produced these napkins that were a great conversation piece during cocktail hour. The seller worked with me to ensure the ink colors and font selection matched our wedding theme. An electronic proof of the wording was sent to me prior to printing, to ensure accuracy and satisfaction. Unfortunately, I recently read on the sellers blog that they are no longer doing custom napkins. Not to worry, there are other sellers on Etsy that do the custom napkins. Simply do a search for custom or personalized cocktail napkins.
