Iwonka's Pocketfolds

There are so many elements about Iwonka's invitations that I love! Anybody that really knows me knows that I am partial to the deep red and brown colors :) I also love the graphic that was used in her ensemble, and I love how the curls in the font pick up the swirls in the graphic. I was also very excited about the seals on the outside of the pocketfold. Each of her invitations have been personalized with her guests' name and incorporates the graphic. Althought, proofreading 200+ polish names was not the easiest task for me!



I also love the format for her envelopes! Normally, I would suggest to my clients to use a colored envelope if it is available in your color scheme. But with the vibrant colors this graphic adds to the metallic ecru envelopes, I was really happy with the end result! For those newbies out there looking for ideas and gathering price info, we do not charge extra to print a graphic on your envelopes. Just one more reason to consider Salutations for the design and printing of your invitations, and it really ties the whole ensemble together!



Iwonka's custom maps were one of the most complex maps I've had to design yet. Her church and reception were not very close together (Farmington Hills and Troy), and most of her guests had to travel to attend her wedding. Rather than making the map double-sided, Iwonka elected to have an overview of the major Detroir area highways, with blow-up details for the church and reception location. Also included on her map are her accommodations, and information letting her guests know that there was a complimentary shuttle between the hotel and the reception.







At the last minute, Iwonka decided to add a Seating Chart to her order.



Her extras tied back to the original invitation to carry her theme throughout the reception, including table numbers, 2-page booklet programs, and two styles of favor tags. One is a folded card that she could hand write a person note for each of her guests and attached to the out-of-town baskets at the hotel. The other is just a flat tag that was attached to favors!
