Jennifer + Nikolaus: Whimsical Squirrel Wedding Invitations

Jennifer’s wedding invitations are on my all time favorite list.  I don’t get the chance very option to design cute and whimsical invitations and these two squirrels in love were a blast to design.  Thanks again to Kristen Taylor for capturing the whimsy of these invitations through her photography.

I started with Jennifer’s ideas to incorporate a tree and something whimsical.  She mentioned that squirrels were sort of a family joke, but she wasn’t sure I could design something with squirrels and still be “wedding”.

The two squirrels are high up in the tree and one is holding a heart and these squirrels immediately became “wedding”. I have many favorite elements in this suite, but one of them is the squirrel running up the side of the custom postage stamp that is designed with the squirrel holding the heart. The inserts were wrapped with lots of teal colored ribbon to hold everything in a tight package.

I designed each insert with the sweet little squirrels doing something appropriate for the card. On the RSVP card, they are messing around on a mailbox.

For the reception card, I designed the two squirrels sitting on a table.

And the custom maps were designed with the same whimsical style – even an upside down acorn for the compass.

You’ll die over the cuteness of her wedding reception items so be sure to come back tomorrow!
