Map It

Did you include maps with your invitations? 

We went in circles debating whether we should or not but I hated the plainness of computer-generated ones and wasn't feeling crafty enough to whip one up on my own. Of course, I swooned over the gorgeous work of Laura Hooper but, unfortunately, spending several hundred dollars on map design and printing just wasn't in the budget. 

So, I pulled up all the crafty gene I could muster in one afternoon and whipped up something like this. Unfortunately, I never got any photos of the final product nor do I have a copy (how does that happen?). So, this was only a draft but you get an idea of the whimsy effect I was going for.

What do you think? What are you doing or going to do for maps (or are you doing them at all?)? Are you lucky enough to afford a custom-designed and hand-painted one or are you going the DIY route?
