Joy & Derrick - Pocketfold Invitations

I do a ton of invitations, and while I usually am pretty happy with the overall result, every once in a while there's an invitation that really stands out as a favorite. Joy's invitations fit that category. I had done her save-the-dates a few months ago, and we did a lot of brainstorming to come up with something that would be whimsical yet elegant, and compliment her classy beach theme. Joy has a great sense of style and also is able to really communicate exactly what she's looking for- both characteristics that make for an awesome client!

We used a metallic chocolate pocketfold, and layered her cream invitation stock over a gorgeous dark citron. Her RSVP & Mailing envelopes are metallic cream and the entire package is presented with a custom monogram and custom-printed bellyband. We carried the same graphics throughout the inserts, monogram, bellyband, and envelopes.

We're currently working on her menus and programs, but here are her invitations... love, love, LOVE them!

Emily & Darren - Boarding Pass Invitations

Emily wanted some custom boarding pass invitations with a whimsical yet elegant feel. We used greens and blues with accents of brown to create a gorgeous Save The Date invitation for her destination wedding at Dreams Resort in Cancun, Mexico. These are definitely some of my favorite boarding pass invitations that I've done. We finished off the design with a chocolate metallic sleeve embellished with a bellyband of raffia and a mother of pearl shell. Simply gorgeous!

Leslie & Patrick - Boarding Pass Invitations

Leslie's invitations are full of color and tropical influences. She has a gorgeous color scheme of purple, fucshia, and orange. We incorporated starfish and floral elements to create her custom boarding pass invitations for her Jamaican destination wedding. Her invitations included two pages of information, were enclosed in a dark plum metallic sleeve and had optional chocolate metallic envelopes.

Karen & Daniel - Boarding Pass Invitations

Aren't these boarding pass invitations fun? I love Karen's bright colors and vibrant designt. She wanted tropical and bright colors. I think we did it! These four-page boarding passes had a main invite page, 2 informational pages, and an RSVP page. Then, we did custom-printed RSVP envelopes, placed it all in a vibrant ocean blue sleeve, embellished the invite with a mother-of-pearl shell and tucked it all in a gorgeous yellow envelope. I'm sure if I got this invitation in the mail I'd be so excited about that destination wedding!

Alyssa & Kareem - Tea-Length Invitations, Thank-You Notes

I had the pleasure of working on both Alyssa's announcements and thank you notes. Her fabulous Hawaii wedding definitely called for something special and out of the ordinary.

For her announcements, we used a simple tea-length metallic invitation backing and affixed her printed announcement (complete with teaser pic!) with silver brads. For her thank-yous, we went over the top and did miniature pocketfolds. These are gorgeous in person! I made a custom monogram with Alyssa & Kareem's wedding date and used this as a bellyband for the outside. A simple, printed "Thank you" was the only insert. The metallic white and aqua flowed with the rest of Alyssa's wedding theme and completed the whole look she'd carried throughout.

Congrats Alyssa & Kareem!

Jaime's invitations included printed RSVP envelopes and a matching bellyband. I love when I get to design the whole package- it really makes the invitation stand out and shows your guests that you're the bride that thinks of every detail!
