Designing for Family...

My twin brother is getting married in June and let me tell you...the pressure is ON for the most exquisite invitations I've ever designed.  Their Save-the-Dates were a stunning take on our "Andante" invitation.
Printed on ivory shimmer paper and knotted with a brown grosgrain ribbon:

Because it will be a destination wedding, we also enclosed a travel booklet so guests could begin to make their arrangements.  This staggered page-size booklet allows the headings to peak out like tabs in a file cabinet.  Printed on a shimmery blue paper and bound with a brown satin ribbon.

Then, we changed the style a bit for Kristy's bridal shower.  Her love of all things pink and all things polka dot (seriously -- they registered for Denby's Jet Dots and Kate Spade's Larabee Dots) inspired this 3 - Layer invitation using shimmery white, pale pink, and chocolate brown.

Stay tuned for pictures of their wedding invitations, but here's a sneak preview: letterpress, boxed, satin ribbon, rhinestones...and no...it's not "too much"!
