Rupal + Tien: Ganesh and Double Happiness Invitations

Rupal and Tien likely had my most challenging invitation suite of the year. My challenge was to combine a ganesh; the Indian elephant diety typically found on traditional Indian wedding invitations, AND the chinese symbol for double happiness. At the same time, Rupal, who is Indian, and Tien, who is Chinese, wanted to combine Gold and Red for their two cultures. And yet the other challenge was to combine Rupal and Tien’s modern style with the tradition of their two cultures. I designed a very modern ganesha holding the double happiness symbol in his hand. This was printed on a red suede cardstock with gold foil.

I also designed a very modern yet flourished border for the front cover of the invitation. The reverse colors of gold and red were used for the invitation.

It was very important to Rupal’s family that the Sangeet invitation be a part of the invitation suite and hold importance as the wedding invitation. I designed the invitation suite as three large a7 size panels.

The rsvp was designed with the ganesh and double happiness logo. It was secured into the invitation with a sash of gold paper.

The rsvp postcard was designed for the guests to respond to both the Sangeet and the Wedding ceremony. Custom stamps were designed to match the design.

The entire suite was wrapped with a very large sash of gold paper printed with the guests’ names.

Red outer envelopes with gold envelope wraps and custom stamps completed the entire look of this very unique invitations set.
