Hotels

Hi friends and family.  Some of you may have noticed that Sam and I did not include information for a hotel in our invitation. Simply put, in a city with so many options, we couldn't fathom making that decision for you.

If you are planning on booking a hotel while you party with us, we're happy to help you choose one. Also, here is a handy link to the ten closest hotels to the Latvian Society. Since we live here, we don't have too much experience in hotels here, but can help you find one for your budget and comfort level.  If you ask me, I will probably tell you that Penns View Hotel seems like the coolest.  It's a small, independent hotel in the Historic District, and still not too far away.

If anyone coming to our wedding has already booked their hotel, or has stayed in Philly before and has a recommendation to make, or a hotel to avoid, please share your experience in the comments, so anyone can benefit.

Thanks!

As artists, Sam and I have decided to go DIY on many aspects of our upcoming wedding.  While the image above is a design we made on an iPad app called LetterMpress; ( that replicates traditional letterpress printed images) we did decide to hand print our invitations, that we also designed and drew.  

I finally took the plunge into screenprinting and had Lauren at BYO Print teach me how to use photo emulsion to burn a silkscreen.  Now, I have handprinted invitations plus a new skill. I finally know how ALL of the equipment at the printshop works! Yippee! 

Also, PaperSource is a dangerous place for a printmaker on a craft mission. $$$ paper....
