Wedding Blog
They are FINALLY all out and we have started to receive some of the RSVP/menu cards, so I think it is safe to share a few pictures with you.
Since making invitations is what I do for a living, I thought it most appropriate to make ours. 
And after many renditions, I am so happy with the final result. So without any further ado…
They came in the mail in this box…
and when you open it… VOILA!
Since we needed to know which guest would be having what entree, I created this little card and filled in each of the guests names for them. We asked that they send the menu card back with the RSVP.
What do you think?!

Share this post: Introducing… OUR INVITATIONS!
beautiful invites! i would have loved receiving a little package in the mail and to open it to find your wedding invitation!
I’m sure your guests will love and appreciate the energy and effort you put into your invites. I know many of my guests did, and it really set the tone for the rest of our wedding.
Wow, they’re amazing! I’ve been waiting to see what you’ve come up with and I’m sure your guests will be floored! Congrats on getting them out the door — I’m sure this was a huge project
I love the script typeface you are using! (Unless that is “real” calligraphy on the invitation….) Mind sharing the name of the font?
Flippin’ Stunning!
Do you have a website?
Just so you know, even though you blocked out the ceremony location and city on your invites, you kept them in your bio….just thought you should know!
p.s. the invitations are stunning…I love the way you arranged the meal choice card.

Wow! I just designed mine and thought they were nice but dang these blow mine out of the freakin water These are so beautiful.
Amazing. No wonder you do that for a living!
How were all the inserts arranged in the box? I was thinking about doing boxed invitations but can’t work through how to organize it all together!
I LOVE them! Tres chic! Also, love the blog. It is very fresh and fun to read! Keep up that awesome work! I look forward to reading more.
awwwwwwesome. i’m a big fan of boxed invites because that’s what we did as well….i CANNOT express how many compliments we got. the work was well worth it.
Gorgeous, I especially love the effect of the crumpled-looking brown paper!
terrible, just terrible. kidding! these are fantastic!!! very nice. love the sage & brown. and, they come in a box. how can you top that? so cool!
So gorgeous!!!
I would love to receive those in the mail…. GORGEOUS!!!!
Woah…what did you use to address the envelopes? It looks like it was embossed! Soooo cool…
Haha tofu, you’re funny.
you know… i thought those stamps looked funny when you posted them before, but I had another thought: perhaps angling them so they’re flush with the envelope’s corner would looks more uniform.
Love the embossing though - looks lovely!
To answer some of your questions…
there is no font for our names - we did have our calligrapher write them out for us…
I do have a website - it is http://www.hautepapier.com
The RSVP envelopes are indeed embossed- I had a stamp made of the address
As for the alignment of the stamp - I tried it and wasn’t thrilled… on the actual ones that got sent out, I used the LOVE stamp from 1995 - see my previous post…
As for arranging in the box, I put the reception card behind the invite and the RSVP cards/envelope on the very bottom
Absolutely beautiful invites! I love your colors as they are mine as well!!!! heh heh.
I am also sending mine out in boxes, but I was wondering where you got your brown boxes. That particular shade has been difficult for me to find. THX.
Beautiful invitations and your website is pure eye candy! When will the Haute Boutique open?
Love your invites, could you tell me what size they are?
Miss Raspberry, did you do your own calligraphy? Also, would you mind sharing where you got your stamps made?
