Cooper's 4th Birthday





Most of the projects I work on are wedding related, but this invitation was a fun change of scenary for me. Cooper is getting ready to celebrate his 4th birthday, and his mother was looking for something fun and "boy-themed"! We definitely accomplished that task with this sports-themed design. I love the lead-in at the top - an All Star Celebration for our M.V.P.! I tied the envelopes in with the invitation by adding the stars on the return address. Cooper was so excited to see his invitations, his mom even let him pick out the stamps!
Happy Birthday Cooper - I hope you have a great time at your party!!!

Anita's Custom Programs & Menus







Anita was throwing an 80th Birthday Party for her husband Jim. She had ordered invitations through someone else, but they were not able to provide her coordinating programs. Anita brought me one of her invitations, which were made of a black metallic paper with a deep metallic red and silver foil stripe along the bottom edge, and printed on metallic paper. Her booklets are made of the same black metallic paper, printed on the white metallic with a silver foil backer. The program is listed on the left side of the program, with the menu printed on the right. The booklet has the deep metallic red and silver foil stripe carried through on the outside edge so that it coordinates with her invitations perfectly!

Johanna's Boarding Pass Invites









Johanna is having a destination wedding, and what better way to invite your guests than a Boarding Pass Invitation! I have been wanting to do a boarding pass style invite for months now, and when Johanna came to me and mentioned she wanted to do something fun for wedding invitations, I knew I had a taker! Johanna chose these fun, bright colors to set the tone for her tropical wedding. Each of her invitations is personalized with her guests' names, and even includes the departing airport code of each guest! The second insert provides her guests with travel information, resort information, and an itinerary for the festivities. Johanna did not need a response card for her invitations, but this style of invite could easily accommodate a tear-off RSVP postcard. The ensemble is bound together by a metallic jacket, and includes a monogram band wrap. Her set is completed by a matching metallic envelope that has been printed with each guests' name! Keep an eye out for Johanna's announcements, which will have a more traditional flare!
