Ashley's Wedding Invitations- Dusty Lavender and Grey

I love to be able to do the invitations of friends, and Lauren, Haydee and Ashley are all dear friends. Ashley and I go way back to 10 and unders softball. She was my maid of honor and I am honored to be in her bridal party! When it came time to design her invitations, she wanted something vintage but classic. We decided to take the lace of Haydee's design and use it more in the background.

The Invite layer was letterpressed by Darling Press and Stationers who did an amazing job. The rest of the items were digitally printed to match. We also incorporated Rehearsal Dinner Invites, and a special RSVP for those who are attending. It will save on paper and stamps! The whole suite is put into a beautiful dusty lavender pocket.

Tristan's Wedding Invitations- Blooms

Tristan is having a beautiful flower inspired wedding. When we first met, she fell in love with Envelopments Bloom paper in Green. She also loved Envelopments Save the Date design and we started off using that. For the invitation we used the same fonts and papers and used a Pocket Invite to hold her enclosures. Pocket invites are a great option if you have multiple enclosures because the weight of the pocket can still be hung on a refigerator, unlike pocketfolds. Her wedding is closely approaching and I wish her and Matt all the best!!

Ashley's Wedding Invitations

These invitations were made with black linen pockets, thick white cardstock with a red backing layer. The bride wanted to incorporate her purple with a beautiful purple and silver plume carstock inside the pocket.

Our Paper Products - {November 2010 Wedding}

{ TABLE NUMBERS }

These were done on folded dark red metallic cardstock, they were backed in the seashell cardstock and then the printed layers were done on white metallic linen paper. Designs kept with the damask symbol theme that was throughout the paper products.

*Our favorite touch was that we did movie names, my husband and I love movies. Since we met when we 21 we were limited to types of dates so we always went to the movies. Each table had a favorite movie title. Our bridesmaids sat at Wedding Crashers and our groomsmen sat at the Hangover. The rest of the tables were Ace Ventura, The Sandlot, Bull Durham, The Miracle, Full Metal Jacket, Days of Thunder, Ghostbusters, National Treasure, Out Cold, Couples Retreat, Caddyshack and For the Love of the Game. Each table number had our favorite quote on the back. You can see my Uncle reading the quote in one of the pictures.

{ SEATING CHART}

Our Seating Chart was done like most, each individual was named with the Table they were at. One addition that I made to it was making a diagram of the tables. That way people knew which direction to walk to their table. I hate going to weddings where you have no idea where your table is even though it is numbered. It even showed the fireplace, bar and dance floor for directionality.

{ PROGRAMS}

Our Programs almost mirror the design of the invitation, it had the bridal party, family, order of events, a thank you and then a note to the deceased. Luckily people actually read it and were very touched when they saw their significant others or family on the list.

{ INVITATIONS }

Our invitations were done with three cardstocks, the beige layer was a seashell cardstock with a red metallic backing layer and then the printed layer was on white metallic paper or for the invite layer, letterpress paper. I chose to do letterpress for our invite layer because I have always loved letterpress and my justification to my mom who was paying for supplies was that I was saving her TONS of money by doing them myself, so she should upgrade the printing!

{ EXTRAS }

We did a cookie and brownie bar as a favor. My bridesmaid and I baked all the brownies and peanut butter cup cookies the Thursday before. (Sadly we missed the Giants World Series Parade to bake) My Nonno made his famous chocolate chip for me to give out. I also designed stickers that we put on the plastic bags.

Renee's Invitations

Renee's invitations were printed on ivory metallic paper and backed by a watermelon fuschia layer. Her envelopes were a cantelope color that matched the font coloring.

Rehearsal Dinner Invites

These rehearsal dinner invites were created with Envelopment's bloom graphic and multiple fonts.

Sorry for the bad quality. I am back to using my iPhone because I lost my camera while at my friend's bachelorette party.

Brian and Sarah's Invitations

Uncle Joey's Birthday Invite

I was lucky enough to be asked by my Great Aunt to design and make my Great Uncle Joey's Birthday invites. He is turning the big 7-0 and she had a specific design in mind.

Crystal's Wedding Invitations

These invitations came out better than I ever expected. She came to me with the exact idea of waht she wanted. I made a bunch of different samples for her. She constructed what she wanted out of the samples and we made these. Each insert is backed with metallic cardstock and each pocketfold is stamped.

I will also be doing her escort cards and programs... will be posting pictures once we finish those up at the end of the month.

Real Wedding- Anne Marie's

I had the pleasure of working with an amazing bride for the past year. I got to work on almost all of her paper products. We did Save the Dates, Invitations, Favor Card, Monogram Squares (she made her own programs, I just printed the squares) and Menus.

Her color scheme was antique gold, chocolate and eggplant. Absolutely beautiful rich colors. Her photographer took the following pictures which are absolutely amazing:

Alison's Invitations and Reception Pieces

Alison had to reschedule her wedding due to a venue mishap. She contacted me to make her invitations and reception details.
