Andrea and Joel - Wedding Invitation

My sister wasn't quite sure what she wanted as far as invitations went, and as her wedding plans changed, so too did the space she needed for adding alternate locations for multiple receptions, etc. After many, many revisions, the 4x9 we started out with ended up needing to be changed to a 5x7.  *sigh*

Wedding Announcement - Suzanne and David

Another sister's announcement requiring a lot of edits.  I have now learned my lesson and will not begin designing until the bride and groom know exactly what they want it to say!  lol

Baseball Wedding Invitation

Tasia and Mitchell

This was the finalized design for Tasia and Mitchell, coordinated with their outdoor, woodsy wedding.  I did the design work and the bride handled the printing!  (My favorite!)  I designed this invitation to be layered-- their picture went on top of the text, tied on, with two insert cards attached.  Super cute!

Digital Design to Complement Embellishments

This 4x9 announcement was very unique because the bride wanted the digital design to complement the rest of the elements she had already chosen--the ribbon, the wax seal, and a separate picture. It was a little bit tricky to figure out exactly where the ribbon and picture were going to go, but I love design challenges!

Check out the unique wax seal from the back of the envelope!Here is the digital design before all of the embellishments:
PS - I always love tips, and this couple gave me a whopper! =) Thank you, Whitney and Ryan!

Tropical Summer

This couple had such fun pictures and wedding colors that flowed very nicely with their announcement's tropical summer feeling! (Now if only the weather would cooperate!)

Classy Glam

I love when brides know what style they like and give me adjectives to describe it! Emily told me she wanted "classy and glam, but simple too." I started playing around with her announcement design as I was yakking to my sister on the phone, and all of the sudden I realized I'd captured the exact look I wanted! I was so impressed with myself that I had to email it to my sister then and there so she could see what I was bragging about. lol

And the 4x4 insert:

Tri-fold Rustic Western

This announcement folds down to fit into a 5x7 envelope. Tri-folds are kind of hard to figure out without seeing them in real life, so let me explain:

This is the front. The brown flap opens up to reveal...

A full spread with these pictures on the left... And these on the right. The picture with the turquoise background is the backside of the flap. And then you flip it over to see the back:

When the tri-folds are totally unfolded, they look like this:
(front and back) (middle) Yet again, please excuse my terrible photography!!Tri-folds are a great way to showcase photography and give your announcement an original, professional format.

Accompanying Rustic Inserts

With a tri-fold announcement, you really need bigger inserts or they'll get lost in the envelope. These inserts are 3x4 inches and look beautiful with the announcements! One insert is for both the ceremony and the luncheon, and the other is just for the luncheon.

Elite Textured Vintage

Michele loved her sister AnnaLee's announcements, and since she was getting married ten days sooner (how fun to be engaged at the same time as your sister!), she wanted me to design hers too. Her photographer still hadn't gotten her pictures to her yet, but I designed some templates with place-savers for the photos. We finally got the photos and proofed late Thursday night, and thanks to our speedy local printers, printed Friday morning!

Fine Textured Black and White

This black and white 5x7 announcement looks even more fantastic on the fine textured linen material it was printed on! The delicate grid texture really makes the photos stand out and lends a classy, personable elegance. (And it makes people want to just hold your announcement in their hands and rub their fingers over it--over, and over, and over...)

PS - Did you notice the subtle heart shape in their names? Muahaha! Sometimes I even impress myself.
