Ahhh...from the first moment I saw this invitation by Swayspace in the Winter 2008 issue of New York Magazine Weddings it was love at first sight. Nick and I, like the couple the invite was designed for, also collect vintage tourist trays from all of the states we've lived in. So far we only have three states, but...the Air Force is working on it, don't worry. :)
It all started when I came across the Missouri tray at my grandma's house, Too weird, right? Nick's home state is Missouri, so I started hunting on ebay and other vintage sites to find an Indiana tray. Sure enough, we are now the proud owners of Missouri, Indiana, and Mississippi with a Nevada tray on the way. {We just found out we are moving to Las Vegas after the new year! Thank you USAF for picking a big city this time!}
Travel, particularly all over the US, is a huge theme in our wedding partially because of Nick's Air Force career so I love love love the idea of include our home states on our invites. However, I'm not sure it will work with what I've got in mind, but it is darn cute idea!

love the invites. Cute tray idea. The hubby and I have decided to buy a piece of artwork that represents all the places we'll be living. I'm going to buy a large color photograph of the P'cola Beach sign and have it framed.
Congrats on Vegas. What has your future Hubby selected? So I assume you're in Columbus. My hubby just finished there a couple of weeks ago. He's a WSO. Since we have so much time btwn now and when we go to NC for the 15 squardon, he decided to go to EWO school in Tx.
Good luck to you guys in Vegas and on the upcoming wedding.
P.S. I love your site.
