Introducing the Heidi Layered Invitation in the Casual American Typewriter Design

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.

This invitation and others can be purchased from our Etsy Shop!
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!

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!

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!

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.

Style Sunday: Summer Series: Seashells

Last Sunday we focused on Beachy Casual and showed you some great ideas for a low-key and fun beach wedding, or themed party or event. This week we are stepping it up a notch to show you that a beach wedding doesn't have to be casual. There are tons of items for a seashell theme and it can easily be dressed up or dressed down.

My favorite invitation for a seashell beach theme is definitely the TRU Invitation featured in the upper left corner. The shells on the invitation are absolutely gorgeous and it is a great invitation that will definitely set the tone for a more formal beach wedding. The invitation in the upper right, by Carlson Craft, is available in multiple colors. It is a little more casual and would definitely set the tone for a laid-back event.

To make it an authentic seashell theme I would definitely recommend these assorted seashell place card holders. I'd suggest using a tray filled with sand to nestle your seashell place card holders into...this would truly be an unexpected and great way to greet your guests.

For a more formal wedding use the seashell paper cut outs and the small silver shell place card holders.

Let your guests bring a bit of the beach home with them with the gel beach themed candles (shown in the upper left). It's a great gift idea and every time your guest light heir candle they can remind themselves how much fun they had at your wedding.

I personally love these seashell candle tea lights...they would make excellent favors, but I think they would make even better table decor. Swap out the traditional tea lights around your center piece with these to add that something extra special.

You can also skip the fancy cake and serve cupcakes - cupcakes have always been a big hit at the weddings I have seen them at. The die cut cupcake wrappers feature seashells too!

Small shell soaps also make a nice favor, they come wrapped nicely in an aqua blue box - they just look so classy!

Don't forget to thank you guests with personalized favor tags!

Kreative Idea: Skip the expensive floral arrangements for your centerpiece, instead find a fantastic vase, fill it it with sand, candles & shells.

Mirka & Jan's Red Rose Theme Invitations

Today I had the pleasure of meeting with Mirka about invitations. She was a breeze to work with because she knew exactly what she looking for out of an invitation. She came armed and ready to go with pictures of invitations she liked, this is so helpful to have when meeting with your stationery consultant because it helps us help you so much faster.

Mirka and her fiance are both from Slovakia - half of their guests speak only Slovak and the other half speak English, they also have a small guest list of only about 50 people. Because of this I instantly recommended that they do a custom invitation. Printing companies have such high set up fees that to have to have them set up 2 different invitations and then tack on a foreign language charge would put the price of their invitations a ridiculous high price for only 50 invitations.

Mirka also requested a unique invitation size. Traditionally in the US invitations really do not start any smaller than 5x7, however as she explained to me, in Slovakia guests traditionally keep their invitations and they like to put them into photo albums, so their invitations are generally no larger that 4x6.

Because of all of these unique factors, custom design was truly the best scenario.

This was one of the inspiration invitations that Mirka showed me that she liked...

This is how I recreated...this is a rough draft, client's personal invitation was blocked for privacy.

This was another inspiration picture Mirka shared with me, her only request was that flower have color.

This is what I created for her..

We thank the photographer at freedigitalphotos.net for use of his red rose photo.
