I do a few a year and I love Jennifer’s. I worked with her future mother-in-law on this order and we made them similar colors and a swirly pattern to match her invitations. The ribbed metallic envelopes will be such a surprise to their guests.
Sara was another bride that was fortunate enough to have her consult when I had thought of this custom 5×7 pocket. Just like the Tori Pocketfold released last month, this is a totally customized pocketfold. Sara’s even has their names in a monogram on the front. The pink and green and fun fonts were perfect […]
There isn’t one thing about Teresa’s invitation that I have done before. I had gatefolds custom made for her, four inserts, lined envelopes with a pretty monogram printed on them, and of course, custom stamps. Teresa is also my first delivered invitation with a sash wrap around the invitations. This is the new trend with […]
Something Borrowed, Something Blue! What a cute shower theme and I had a blast doing Monica’s invitations for her shower. Monica is also a designer and I’ve worked with her enough now that I knew what she would love for these invites. The ribbed outer envelopes in a beautiful blue completed these invites.
Sara wanted an underlying theme for her wedding – a FairyTale. Without using castles or stars, we accomplished this through the wording, ribbon accent and swirl design. Her colors are so unique and rich. The fonts go perfectly with the graphic and I love the monogram on the front of the folded card. She matched […]
Damask is “the” thing for invitations this year. Although Marcy’s invites aren’t traditional damask – they are damaskesque. 😉 This invite has two firsts for me. 1) It is the first invitation ever that every single element is exactly how I would do it for myself. I love the graphic, the lower case font, the […]
Swirls are so popular on wedding invitations this year. They are elegant, but still fun. Beth’s invitations are gorgeous in two shades of champagne and this striking black swirl. The insert package is beautiful with the bold graphic and delicate printing for the guest’s names on the sash.
This is all I’ve been doing the last two weeks – showers and save the dates. Katie’s wedding is also a destination – although it isn’t far from Chicago, everyone will still have to travel. I hadn’t met Katie or even talked much about style, but when she chose the fonts – a lower case […]
I don’t do many save the dates, but I have more and more orders – especially when the wedding is a destination. Jennifer had two problems – budget and they had a TON of information to get on the save the date. The wedding is in Punta Cana and even issues like Passports needed to […]
As I just posted, Hydrangeas sure are the popular “theme” with weddings right now. Lisa’s mother Betty had contacted me too late for me to do the June wedding invitations. She was so disappointed that I agreed to do the shower invitations and shower thank yous. They even splurged and did custom stamps!
This was my most difficult invitation logistically. Stephanie is having three events for her wedding weekend – a Rehearsal Dinner, the actual wedding and then a day after Brunch. Nearly half of the guest list is invited to all three events. A small portion is invited to the wedding and day after brunch. And the […]
There is important information regarding 2008 postage in this entry. Stamps are the craziest thing. You probably never pay any attention to them, but once it comes to putting them on your wedding invitations, they become important. When I do consults in my studio, I often will get on the subject of postage when I […]
Well, she bought the cardstock from me too, but my main job was to design the invites. I was booked for May 2008 and Lori sweet talked me into designing her invites and she would do the rest. These were a ton of fun as the invitations for the reception taking place at home after […]
I have been wanting to do one of these for years. I don’t even know how the ribbon got on Karen’s pocket. She and I have been talking for so long and had so many ideas, I don’t even remember how we came up with this one. The ribbon wraps completely around the pocket and […]
Going with my attitude that I want to do things differently, I decided to add graphics to Michelle’s RSVP envelopes. These are now my new favorite thing and I’ve been getting more and more *daring* in my proofs to upcoming clients. Some have told me “no”, but thankfully, Michelle was all for it. I love […]
