Showcase Wednesday: Our Wedding Map!
Written by Sara on April 28, 2010 – 9:00 am -
When I thought about our wedding invitations, I always knew two things: 1) I wanted to include a map of locations for our guests, mostly for my own enjoyment (we don’t have many out-of-town family or friends), and 2) I wanted it to contribute to our overall vintage theme.
The result? Even better than I could have imagined.
After falling in love with the idea of a hand-drawn map, my non-artist self began the search for an artist to help me. Enter: Andrew, a friend from college.
While Andrew is CERTAINLY worth more than we could afford, he kindly spent hours and hours of his time to create a BEAUTIFUL map of the downtown Sioux Falls area for us. He drew each of the important buildings for us, and added the “legend” or “map key” idea that I so randomly threw at him. After all of the artwork was complete, Jordan and I added the text at the bottom.
We couldn’t be more pleased with the results!

Hi Kori, thank you so much for your kind words! My friend Andrew made our map for us; I don’t currently have an email address or phone number for him, but his Twitter handle is @ajosborn. I hope that helps! If you contact him, just mention that you read about the map he created for Sara and Jordan’s wedding in 2010 :) best of luck!
