The Overlooked
I was a weird kid obsessed with biography books. While I loved reading about George Washington,

historical figures with collaged illustrations paired with a short movie-summary blurb for each figure.

Wedding invites are all starting to look the same. Customization and character are always
fun ways to make things feel personalized. We included distinguishing facial features, a bit of
research for corresponding ethnic patterns, and Connie and Jason's adorable dogs, Obi and Addie.
I'm all about inside jokes – I'm sorry if some of these don't make sense.
