If you can't read the creative RSVP wording it says this:
Rachael & James' colors we are working with are a smoke grey and purple. James wasn't feeling the purple booklet idea, so Rachael compromised to go with the smoke and use the purple as an accent color - it wouldn't want it to be too girlie, now would we?
They wanted to stay more traditional with their invite layer, so we made it a simple right aligned wording and emphasized their names in a Honey Scrpt! Please excuse my big blank spots - I wanted to protect their privacy so I had to remove all the personal information!
The details layer communicates all the important details: reception. hotel block info, and shuttle info!
Originally I had planned to do a full out jelly bean bar - that is until I saw the crazy price of jelly beans! Quite costly, I couldn't believe chocolate candy, which I'm more partial to anyways, came in cheaper than Jelly Beans! So I nixed it and just focused on some of my favorites, jelly beans were involved to though! My little candy bar featured Peeps, 2 different types of jelly beans, Reese's Pastel Eggs (YUM) and Whopper's Robin's Eggs! 
I've got a sweet nephew who is allergic to peanuts, so I had to make sure that I labeled what everything was so that people knew what he could and couldn't eat...the Reese's eggs were out (yay more for me!)
One snowy day this winter I tried to beat the winter blahs with my Sister-in-Law Heidi, the owner and head event planner at Entertain Me Event Planning so we headed off to Christmas Tree Shop and worked on the table decor. I just love all the bright festive spring colors we pulled in! The flower vases are actually soup cans wrapped in pretty paper & a ribbon...simple, cheap and oh so cute! 
Each place setting had a little egg bowl with some pink grass and a yummy chocolate bunny for guests to eat. 
I made the fruit kabobs as an app...for some reason they didn't fly off the tray as I would have thought - but the left overs made a great snack/breakfast for me for the next week! 
I got this punch recipe from one of the girls on thenest.com message board! It was delicious and a big hit. It was a can of pineapple juice, frozen concentrate OJ thawed out, and champagne. I also added some frozen pineapple slices and cut up oranges to make it look pretty!
A week before Easter I bought a pre-packaged salad at Wegman's and I fell in love! I decided to recreate it in bulk...super easy, spinach, feta & Parm cheese, dried cranberries, and croutons. The dressing was a raspberry vinaigrette. 
You obviously can't forget the entree, Ham! This was a Costco ham with the honey glaze - aways a hit. 
The Heidi layered invitation (named after my favorite sister-in-law) can be dressed up or dressed down to accommodate a fancy or casual event. This particular sample is featuring our casual American Typewriter design. It has a silver metallic background and a white invitation layer. The fun font is emphasized in pink and orange.
The RSVP Postcards are probably my favorite part of this design. We decided to do something a little different when it came to the reply, we opted to make it Mad Lib Style! Guests can have fun filling in creative adjectives and telling you what their favorite song is that they can't wait to dance to! This is a great way to get a fabulous play list together for your dj. Wording can be customized to suite your needs! 
The Emma pocket, named after my cutie Emma M-dawg, is a fun and functional wedding invitation. It can be dressed up for an elegant affair or go casual for a more laid back style. This sample features a unique design element, a quote or saying printed on vellum paper as an overlay of a cream ribbon. This embellishment creates a truly modern looking invitation! 
Above is a close up of our unique embellishment.
Having a weekend long celebration? Inform your guests of all the weekend activities by skipping the reception enclosure and opting instead of a celebrations enclosure. On this new enclosure you can provide guests with information on Rehearsal Dinners, Sunday Brunch, the Reception and After-party. 
We are excited to announce our newest invitation style, The Sarah..this unique, fun and different booklet style features a stacked layered look. This particular sample is done in our Mod Circle Design in a Navy and Green Color Scheme. I love this invitation because it keeps everything nice, tidy and organized...just like a pocket fold, but at a much better price!
Above is a close up of the stacked layers - so it gives off the same look as a pocket fold with lots of enclosures!
The invitation layer features all the important invite info - specifically the who, what, where and when!
The details layer informs guests of all the additional information may they may need, including hotel & shuttle info and the couple's wedding website.
The reply layer features a perforated RSVP postcard - guests can simply rip it out and send it in! Additional space on the layer can be used to share any other info that you choose.
Above is the coordinating Mod Circle Table Numbers - featuring the same metallic paper & mod circle design.
Wet your guests' palettes by placing menus at each of their place settings - they love to know what they will be enjoying food-wise that evening.
Also available, coordinating napkin rings! How cute are they!?!
Erin's mom called me on Tuesday in a panic...she had been trying to print invitations to her daughter's graduation party herself - but just got too frustrated with the process...lining up the wording, trying to make it fit within the border was just too difficult for her...annnnnd she wanted to get the invitation out by the end of the week! Working with supplies I had on hand I mustered up these simple and elegant invitations on an cream colored stock. I had them printed and delivered to her by Thursday! 
Here is just a quick close up of the border I love the look of the triple line & indent...it makes a very standard piece of card stock look upscale and elegant. 
I've always thought that this invitation was absolutely adorable! I love the metallic sparkle and the whimsy and casual feel of the bride and groom with leaves blowing around them! Dawn and Joe choose this invitation for their upcoming October wedding - we think it was a great choice! 
Dawn and Joe are clients of (and were referred to us) by our friends at Entertain Me! Event Planning...if you haven't booked a day of coordinator yet check them out! They are great to work with! 
The booklet is soooo the new pocket fold. Anyone else getting tired yet of the pocket fold? It's been done, and although I've always been a fan of it I'm ready for something new! So...I've created a new invitation type, THE BOOKLET STYLE, and I'm naming it after my mother-in-law Catherine! She is a school teacher...so books have always been right up her ally! 
Maria & Marc had originally choose a send-n-seal invitation from one of our stationery albums...however after getting a sample they were quite thrilled with it. I generally do not recommend a send-n-seal as I feel they lack presence and I always fear that they will rip or be over looked in the mail. 
Maria & Marc were also a little concerned about the rsvps and people bringing more people than were invited..so they had requested to have their rsvps worded as ___seat(s) have been reserved in your name. When they decided to go the custom route it was a simple switch to actually print the number of seats reserved in there name...so now there will be no messy handwriting on their invitations when they mail them out! 
When Jackie & Brian picked the color of coral as the main color for their wedding they had no idea how difficult it would be to find anything in the particular color they choose. The beautiful color isn't quite pink...and that has made things difficult for them as they really wanted to actually use their color in more than just the bridesmaids' dresses. 
The ribbon that closes the gatefold neatly holds all the enclosures together for a truly elegant look. 
To match the invitation we all created a simple monogram notecard that the bride and groom can use for all of their thank you notes! Again, we did their names in smoke and the & was in the matching pinkish coral color used on their swirl paper! 
The table numbers also feature the same paper, but this time we added a vellum overlay & we attached it using the same cream colored ribbon.
This was by far my favorite idea with the tiny scraps of paper I had after cutting the gatefold
