Hi Weddingbee,
I just wanted to share with you my wedding invitations that I love! The pictures don’t do them full justice to how lovely they are. My fiance and I had very specific ideas about what we wanted our invites to look like, and so we went the custom route. The best part was we were able to incorporate so much of our family into the invitations. The cherry blossoms on the front of the pocketfold and the interior were painted by my father, and the map was drawn by my fiance’s brother.
The pocketfold is offset printing and the invitation and inserts are letterpressed. The invite is 160 pound paper so it’s really thick and the letterpressing came out amazing on it. It is attached to the pocketfold with a small glue dot so it can be easily removed without damaging the pocketfold or the invitation.
We worked with Yvonne from Double Happiness Creations and could not be more thrilled with the results. It was a great experience and I highly highly recommend her. She listened to all our ideas, had many great suggestions of her own, and, most importantly, was willing to do a million different drafts to give us all the options.
Enjoy!
Christina
