Hard choice, but I vote for Bryn’s hand-drawn napkin invitations.
Bryn’s hand-drawn napkin invitations are incredible and get my vote. They make me want to have a party just so I can send out invites like that!
My vote is for Jennifer’s bottled cider. I’m so impressed that she picked and pressed the apples, bottled the cider, and made the labels herself! She is a DIY superstar!
This is tough…but I think the manually pressed bottled cider has won me over – plus really cute labels! these are all so lovely!
The hand-written napkins. There’s such meaning behind something scribbled on a napkin, and it’s so beautifully implemented. Makes me want to touch a paper napkin for god’s sake.
It’s a close call, but I’d say the paper napkin birthday invites. I had to look at these twice to realize they were hand-written. Such a cute idea and gorgeous illustrations!
All so beautiful but I’m going to have to go with Bryn’s hand drawn invites. So gorgeous..so original… and I bet so much fun to get in the mail!
These are all so unique! I think I have to go with the hand-written napkin invitations, though. So beautiful and personal.
Hands-down–the 24 hand-drawn/hand-written napkins. Nobody does this!
So charming.
I get to vote for myself right? Because no one else has!!
Go Cassie’s boutonnieres!
What guest could refuse such a wonderful, personal inviation? I vote for the hand-created napkin submitted by Bryn.

Bryn’s napkin invitations really stand out.
The handwritten napkin invitations are a winner! So fresh a concept for a dinner invitation. The napkin format makes it look fresh, almost off-hand, yet the design is charming and individually made — this pretty restaurant, this date, and for you. Lucky invitee!

The napkin invites by Bryn are fabulous. I would love receiving one in the mail…and would definitely accept the invitation.
Beautifully done.
I’m so impressed by the napkin design by Bryn! Its such a cool idea that incorporates innovation (the medium), class (the exquisite writing) and style (choice of image, color, simplicity)… Each is a unique piece of art and the time put into each drawing and handwritten detail is evident and meaningful and would definitely be savored by those receiving them.
that’s my vote!
