Custom Passport Invitations | Costa Rica Destination Wedding

I have literally hundreds of invitations that I should be blogging about and when trying to pick a starting point decided to post Kiley's fabulous custom damask 2-page Passport invitation since her wedding is this weekend...
The outside cover is a gorgeous sand shimmer cardstock and the inside is a white shimmer with a subtle damask print. Custom stamps inform the guests of the important wedding details and a personal letter from the bride and groom make these invitations stand out.

These passports can be completely customized for your wedding location and theme.

Congratulations Kiley!

Custom Shower Invitations - Rhinestones, Ribbon, and Raffia!

I love Nicole's shower invitations. I did her boarding pass save the dates a few months ago, and her sister contacted me to make her shower invitations to match. We did a fun design using raffia and ribbon to evoke an elegant beach feel and accented one of the starfish with a rhinestone. The invitation is printed on white shimmer cardstock and mounted on a gorgeous sand shimmer stock.

This invitation can be completely customized with nearly any color starfish, ribbon and paper and not only is a fabulous shower invitation, but also is a great save the date or formal destination wedding invitation.

Happy New Year!

Well, it's happened again... I have the best intentions, but reality gets the better of me. I haven't blogged in 6 months- yikes! But, it's for good reason: I'm just that busy. Thanks to all my great customers over the last year Sproullie Designs continues to grow and expand. I launched my new website two months ago and the response has been overwhelming. I could never possibly blog all the great invitations and stationery I've worked on over the last several months, but I will try to "backblog" a few things over the next couple weeks.

Stay tuned :)

Shannon & Michael's Custom Pocketfold Invitations

Shannon's invitations are soooo pretty. This is another current fave... I made these a few months ago, but am just now getting around to blogging them. For her invitations we used a light blue pocketfold with a light green metallic accent. Her subtle coral graphics and custom monogram bellyband with raffia really set the tone for her elegant beach wedding.

Avi & Nathaniel's Custom Pocketfold Invitations - Hawaii Destination Wedding

OK, every once in a while an invitation comes along that I fall in love with. This is one of them. These invitations are just sooooo gorgeous in person- they feature a khaki canvas pocketfold with a chocolate canvas and custom monogram bellyband with raffia accents. The main invitation matt and the background for the monogram on the bellyband are made of Japanese Cane or Basho Paper. I absolutely love this paper!

Lindsay and Ryan - Custom Boarding Pass Save the Dates

Lindsay saw Shelley & Amos' invitations and loved the colors and graphics. She wanted to do something similar for her Save the Dates to announce her upcoming wedding in Los Cabos at the Cabo Surf Hotel.

For her fun custom boarding pass invitations we used a bright white glossy stock to print the passes, then placed them in a metallic black sleeve with a metallic fuschia and mother-of-pearl bellyband. The invitation was mailed in a matching metallic fuschia envelope.

Menus, Programs and Announcements

I designed Jaymie's beautiful Pocketfold Invitations a few months ago, and we carried her blue and black/white damask theme through to the rest of her invitation stationery. Jaymie's fan programs incorporated the damask print subtley at the bottom of the fan and her menus introduced a custom married monogram to her guests. Finally, we used the same colors and graphics to create an invitation for her At-home-reception for her guests that were uable to attend her gorgeous Dreams Cancun wedding.

Custom Baby Baptism Invitations

I made these custom baptism invitations for Timothy's special day. Timothy's mom wanted to use chocolate and blue with an elegant celtic cross theme. I found a beautiful blue damask print to complement the design. The invitation was mounted on a chocolate pearlescent metallic cardstock and mailed in chocolate metallic envelopes.

Mayumi & Eric's Custom Hawaii Pocketfold Invitations

Mayumi had a gorgeous color scheme of rose pink and charcoal. For her Hawaii wedding, we wanted to do something classy and elegant with just a hint of "tropical". For her invitations I used a square pocketfold of smooth charcoal, printed her main invitation body and three inserts on a smooth white stock, layered her invitations on a pearlescent metallic rose pink cardstock and adorned the exterior of the invitation with a bellyband of metallic cardstock and black satin. A custom monogram with the couples' names, date and the pink palm tree graphic completed the look.

Monica & Andrew - Dreams Los Cabos Boarding Pass Invitations

There will always be a special place in my heart for the girls that get married at Dreams Cabo. That's where I got married! So needless to say, I loved designing Monica's boarding pass invitations. Her bright color scheme, starfish theme, and colorful envelopes made for a really fun invitation set!

For Monica's invitations, we printed on a bright white glossy stock and placed them in an orange sleeve. Her mailing envelopes were bright green, her custom printed RSVP envelopes bright yellow, and the invitation was finished off with a bellyband of printed vellum over a bright blue bellyband.

Alicia & Robert - Custom Pocketfold Wedding Invitations

I love Alicia's modern design. She wanted an invitation that was simple, elegant, and focused on their names/date as the main design element. Her pale green and chocolate pearlescent metallic were complemented by a champagne shimmer cardstock and the invitation featured a bellyband with their monogram.
