Kate + Mike: Striped Tie inspired

I have been talking to Kate forever. I designed their magnet save the dates back last winter and I’ve been anticipating her invitations ever since. We designed something new, just for Kate. A gatefold with removable invitation and a wrap around sash that holds in the inserts. This is by far one of my favorite custom invitation. I love the functionality and how unexpected each part is for the guest to open.

The inspiration for these invitations came from the tie that Mike will wear on the wedding day. The navy and lime green colors are very fresh and modern.

Due to the long and narrow tea length invitation, I designed a stripe pattern of the deep blue and apple green for the top and bottom of the invitation. The invitation is removable and reveals the inserts.

The rsvp response postcard was designed with a monogram that was on every insert piece along with the stripes that carried through. Custom stamps because part of the design with the monogram on the stamp.

The kelly green reception cards were designed with a fun alternative for the times.

Custom maps were designed, again with the coordinating stripes and monogram.

When the invitation is closed, it is gorgeously wrapped in a custom designed sash wrap. The outer envelopes were a labor of love, that only Kate can fully appreciate ;), and were finished off with another custom stamp.
