Custom Birth Announcements

I've done a few of these now, but I'll share these since they're my own, and my favorite :)

I can do custom birth announcements, shower invitations, thank-you notes, baptism invitations and announncements, or any other special occasion stationery...

Custom Baby Shower Invitation, Thank-Yous and Favors

Here is an entire set of custom stationery I did for a baby shower. We started with a gorgeous chocolate pearlescent metallic pocketfold invitation including the shower details and registry information. I've heard that most of the guests said it was the coolest shower invitation they'd ever seen!

I also created custom labels for the favor bags which included a "Thank you for 'showering' with us" theme and included wine, lotion and shower gel.

Pics coming soon...

Angie's Custom Boarding Pass Design

Occasionally I'll take on a design-only project where I do the design and the customer handles his or her own printing and assembling. I don't take on many of these projects since my favorite part is seeing the whole project come together, but if it's something you're interested in feel free to ask if I have any design spots available!

Angie's boarding passes were for her AHR (At Home Reception) after her Breezes Bahamas destination wedding. I had done a monogram for her wedding a few months ago and we incorporated the same blue, chocolate, and gold colors.

Miranda and Colin - Custom AHR (At-Home-Reception) Invitations

Miranda just had a gorgeous wedding in Cuba and DIY'd all her own invitations. So when it came time for her AHR (At-Home-Reception) she was tired of projects! She had an idea and color scheme she wanted to stay within but let me take some creative liberty. I love the end result! I used a gorgeous coral background design and incorporated a subtle starfish for the cover vellum wrap and carried the design through to the inside. I created a custom monogram with their married initial and used that as the centerpiece for the cover as well as the heading at the top of their invitation. The main invitation was layered over a charcoal pearlescent metallic cardstock, and the tea-length invitation slid into the printed vellum sleeve. A matching RSVP card slid behind the invitation.

Jess & Chris - Custom Boarding Pass Invitations for Cozumel Mexico

Jess' invitations featured a navy linen sleeve, a layered printed bellyband, kraft paper bellyband and envelopes, and were printed on a smooth white paper with an all-over distressed design. The overall look was slightly vintage, slightly whimsical, but totally gorgeous! I love her red and yellow floral design and the navy blue pulled it all together.

Debbie & Rodney - Custom Passport Invitations

Now here are some fun custom passport invitations!

Debbie wanted something bright and fun that would incorporate her wedding colors of yellow, pink and coral for her Excellence Riviera Cancun destination wedding. We used the traditional passport background in white and did a custom printed cover which featured a subtle floral print in bright yellow and her vibrant pink, coral, and orange flower graphics that carried through to the inside pages. The entire invitation was printed on a pearlescent metallic paper and we completed the look with custom printed envelopes.

Updates!

Wow - has it really been 4 months since I updated this blog? Bad blogger! I have been insanely busy this spring/summer with invitations and design that it's all I can do to keep up with orders- the blog just didn't make it to the top of the priority list. But, I'm trying to update things little by little over the next week. I'm not going to blog everything I've done over the last few months, but I will hit some of the highlights and post a few of my favorite projects. Then I'll try REALLY hard to do better!

For those that have been following me, I have also been promising a new website for quite some time. That has also gone the way of the blog... something that just never becomes a high priority because I have so much else going on! But, I'm also working hard on that over the next few days and although it might not have a fully functional shopping cart just yet, I'll have more galleries, more options, and as always, a way to order your custom boarding pass invitations, custom passport invitations, and pretty much anything else your little heart desires in the way of custom wedding stationery!
