Introducing: The Catherine Booklet Invitation

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!

This is for sure a unique and different invitation. All the pertinent wedding information is kept nicely in this cute little booklet, each page holding the same information a standard enclosure card would hold. The top layer is a gorgeous piece of vellum featuring the future mr. and mrs. last name initial. So when guests open the envelope they will see this with the invitation directly below it.

The next page features all the reception information including time location, shuttle information. There was also additional room to provide guests with hotel room blocking information!

If you have more information no worries, additional pages can easily be added to accommodate all of your info!

All the pages in the booked are scored to provide easy page turning. All the pages are held nicely together with two layers of ribbon and decorative brats and are backed to a sturdy metallic 5x7 card stock!

As of now the RSVP card stands separately, but I have great plans to include it as part of the book with an easy perforated detachment!

All pieces of this invitation are completely customizable. Paper colors can all be changed, monogram, wording, layout, number of pages can all be customized to meet your needs! My favorite part to customize would also be in the ribbon & brat choices...did you know the brats (which are the small silver squares up the left edge) can have rhinestones? Different shapes and sizes are also available!

Maria & Marc's Flourish Border White Panel Invitation

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.

So when they decided to go custom I was thrilled! Not only did they get a great invitation, they even saved money over the send-n-seal invite! Who would have ever thought a custom invitation could beat the price of a send-n-seal invite...even more, a send-n-seal invitation that was discounted!?! Well I'm hear to tell you it can be done! :)
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!

Maria & Marc are clients of (and were referred to us by) our friends at Entertain Me Event Planning in Wilmington, De! They have picked great invites and a great coordinator!

Jackie & Brian's Pink Coral Swirl Gatefold Invitation & Accessories

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.

So when it came to invitations there really was no other option but to go complete custom...all the way down to the paper! Using her small swatch of fabric we picked the closest pantone color & then printed a swirl pattern onto a cream colored paper (front and back side) so that we could bring her color into the

invitation!

The ribbon that closes the gatefold neatly holds all the enclosures together for a truly elegant look.

When guests untie the ribbon they can then open the gatefold to reveal a very simple and elegant invitation printed in a smoke grey color - which looks fabulous and less harsh than a tru black ink.
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!

We have some extra custom paper that we will be using for Jackie & Brian's programs...I'll have to show you those when I'm done! I'm excited for a nice layered invitation with vellum overlay!

I had a few scraps of paper after creating the samples, so I started designing some coordinating decor pieces for reception decor to add to my portfolio!
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

. There was only about 1.5"x7" piece of paper and I got the great idea to make napkin rings out of them! I hate any cute paper going to waste! I simple used a little ribbon to keep it together. If you were to place the same type of order as Jackie the great news would be that the paper for this item would essentially be free as they are actually scraps!

For a more personalized touch...tell guests where they are supposed to sit with the napkin ring also acting as a place card!

With the littlest scraps I was able to punch hearts out of them...the swirl and cream heart combo confetti would look adorable surrounding the centerpieces, lining the gift table or place card table...

Black, White & Gold Pocketfold

Lindsey & Mike selected this black pocketfold with antique gold accent color for their upcoming November 2010 wedding. This beautiful invitation will certainly set the tone for their sophisticated and elegant black and white themed wedding! They had a lot of information to relay to their guests so they opted for several enclosures.

They included directions to both the ceremony & reception, hotel blocking information, a reception card that informed guests about cocktail hours, the reception and afterparty...and of course they had a reply card too!

The front tab will be simple and elegant...featuring both of their names in the antique gold font color!

Introducing THE ELIZA PERFETTO Wedding Invitation

Today we are introducing you to the Eliza Perfetto Pocket styled invitation. This charming 6"x6" square is named after my Grandmother Grace Eliza. I've always been a fan of the name Eliza and yet she never liked it and tells everyone her middle name is Elizabeth...so funny!

This sample is sporting a metallic sand pocket and a persian blue back layer with cream colored invitation and enclosures. This color combination is ideal for an nautical themed wedding or event.

Below is a close up of all the enclosures...a great money saving idea is to have a wedding weekend information card where you can cram a lot of information on instead of an individual card for each and every item. The wedding weekend card includes hotel accommodation room block information, Sunday brunch information and the wedding website.

For more information on this invitation please visit its listing on our Etsy Shop!

Introducing THE STEPHANIE SIGNATURE POCKET

The last couple of weeks has been incredibly hectic, what with the arrival of the new printer, putting samples and a sample album together, creating my etsy shop, and of course the usual realm of business, meeting with brides and helping them design the perfect invitation for their upcoming weddings! FINALLY, I'm able to start showing off some of what I'm up to!

I'm excited to introduce you to The Stephanie Signature Pocket, yep you got that right, I named it after myself! In fact, each and everyone of my invitation styles will be named after the lovely and special ladies in my life!


The Stephanie Signature Pocket is the perfect catch all for all your VIP wedding information. The side pocket on the right comfortably fits up to 4 enclosure cards so you can easily relay your reception, hotel accomodations, directions and all other wedding information as well as your RSVP card.


Each of my invitation styles will be able to easily mix and match with any of the invitation designs that I have done. If you do not see anything you like we can always create a new design specifically for you to work with your wedding or event style and theme. This particular sample features the flourish design! All the paper colors, font choices, etc can all be customized specifically to coordinate with your wedding and event.

Enclosures for the longest time consisted of only RSVP and reception cards...now there are wedding website, weekend activities, hotel block information, etc. Theses days there can be a lot of information to relay to guests and having a nice little pocket on the invitation will keep everyone organized and informed!

I haven't really spent time on creating unique ways of closing the pockets yet - so stayed tuned and I start using belly bands, tabs, ribbons, charms, and many other embellishments to create that unique look!

For more information on ordering a sample of this invtation or the invitation itself please visit The Stephanie Flourish Etsy Listing.

Style Sunday: Summer Series: Palm Trees

Heading to a tropical destination wedding? The first thing I always am excited to see when landing in a tropical local is the palm trees! They are generally the first thing you see and nothing screams warm weather, summer or the beach better then a palm tree. Find below some of my favorite Palm Tree theme things....
Each of these invitations set the tone for your tropical wedding...My favorite is the invitation in the top right corner. I love the symbolic beach images...so cute and simple!
How cute are those coconut candles? They are palm tree - beach theme in a not in your face simple way! Does that even make sense? They are also environmentally friendly, which is extra important at an outdoor wedding. Palm tree favor boxes and coconut flavored tea are also nice touches for favors.
Don't forget to incorporate the palm tree to your decor. Dance the night away on top of a personalized monogram decal on the dance floor. The palm tree cake topper is also adorable and is really perfect for any beach wedding, palm tree theme or not....don't forget coordinating place card holders.
