Leslie and Tom

Leslie and Tom exquisite three-layer pocket invitations were mailed last week for their late June wedding.  It's official now!  Leslie chose a color scheme of black and cream using a beautiful patterened paper for the back layer of her invitation and other cards.  She also had several inserts in her invitation such as a rehearsal dinner insert, reception card, 2 rsvp sets and a donation card.  Both RSVP card had a menu choice so Leslie could keep track of their choice of entrees.  The escort cards will reflect those choices at the wedding...stay tuned for those pictures.  This not only helps the guest receive all the information for the wedding weekend in one mailing but allows the bride to keep track of responses in an organized manner.  We wrapped the pockets in a thick ivory ribbon with a topper using Tom's initial of his last name.

Charissa and Wes

Charissa and Wes are getting married in May in Rosemary Beach, FL!  We designed a neutral colored custom pocket invitation set for all the events that were going to take place on this exciting weekend.  First we needed a Welcome Party and Rehearsal Dinner insert.  Then we had 2 different RSVP sets...one for those guests invited to the RD, Welcome Party and Wedding and another for those invited to the Welcome Party and Wedding.  Everyone received an Accommodations / Info card with all the details.  The beautiful invitation was a square three-layered invitation with paisley paper for the back layer and raised mocha ink.  Charissa wanted a very "scripty" font for their names and we used that font throughout to tie everything together.  Brown ink was used to hand-address the envelopes in calligraphy.  The pockets were closed by a 1 1/2" taupe ribbon.  My motto is always ...Every invitation set should look "well-thought out" and this is a perfect example. 

Graduation and Birthday

Here are a couple pictures of some projects I did in April for a party in Winter Park, FL.  It was a referral from a bride that I did her wedding.  I love the white calligraphy on the navy envelopes.  Then two graduation announcements / invitations that I did for friends.  The one on the left matches the announcement from University of Dayton and the one on the right matches Ballard High School colors.  Keep me in mind for other projects!!

Leslie and Eric Wedding

Leslie and Eric were married April 14, 2012 at St. Paul United Methodist Church and had their reception in the Crystal Ballroom of The Brown Hotel.  Ellen from ShaFox weddings coordinated the event.  I had the pleasure of working with Leslie and her mom on their letterpress invitations and calligraphy which I blogged about previously.  Leslie chose soft colors of pale pink and pewter gray on eggshell paper for her invitations.  She decided on soft pink paper and a thick 7/8" pink ribbon for her programs and gray ink.  I printed their custom married monogram at the top of the programs and also the menu cards.  I layered the hand-written calligraphied menu cards and escort cards with the pale pink paper and ivory top cards.  Congratulations to Leslise and Eric!

Ashley and Zach Wedding

Ashley and Zach were married this past Friday at St. Francis of Assisi.  Ashley chose letterpress invitations earlier in the year and I played off of that using parchment paper to make her programs, table numbers, menu cards and escort cards.  As you can see...classic colors and simple presentation made for beautiful wedding papers.  I love this top picture as you can see her flowers on the table at her reception.  You can see her invitations on a previous blog but pay close attention to the monogram we letterpressed on the back of the extra thick invitation.  It was an "A" and "Z".  For the wedding menus and programs we added the "S" in the middle to make their married monogram.

Meredith and Lary

Meredith chose a beautiful three layered wedding invitation with raised black and hot pink ink.  A matching reception card and rsvp set made this invitation set different from others that I have done.  She liked the three solid layers that complimented her wedding colors and this turned out fantastic!
