I unknowingly organized this post upon discovering brilliant creative Kelly Anderson’s portfolio without realizing that she is also the same person behind the record playing wedding invitation I recently posted on! I had to share this handkerchief map with you guys because not only is it awesome, Kelli has graciously written an entire post explaining the design process behind the creation of this map. She gives you descriptive details beginning from the conception of the idea to the printing of the digital files on fabric. If you’ve ever wondered “How did they do that!” when seeing a remarkably unconventional invite like I have many times before, then wonder no more friend, Kelli is here to share.

Her work is truly incredible. I would be thrilled if something like this map arrived in the mail. And the handkerchief would be such a sweet keepsake to remind you of the event.

This is so cute. What a darling invite, I would keep this forever!
PS. in response to your Blogger’s Get-together question – I have been wanting to host one here in Houston, but I don’t have that many readers in Houston – most of my readers are in California, so that’s why I host them over there. But I would LOVE to host one in Houston. I will ask around and see if there’s enough interest. Keep checking my blog, if I do plan a Houston one, I will announce it on there. If I do, it will most likely be when it cools down, so perhaps September-October?
