Invitation Inspiration

I’ve been mulling over wedding invitation designs ever since I completed our Save the Dates. There are so many designs to choose from! Should I choose a envelopment enclosure? A stack of cards for each topic? Go simple and leave the rest to our wedding website?

After scouring the web for the past two months, I think I’ve narrowed the packaging down to a final decision: a booklet. I love the idea of creating a mini-book for many different reasons. First off, Mr. Pomegranate and I love to read (I’m now very aware of how much we love to read after unpacking our entire library since our recent move). Secondly, I think it’s a simple way to package the suite of information ensuring that the good stuff won’t get lost in the mix - plus I can create it in a post office friendly size for cheaper postage. Lastly, how could I pass up an opportunity to create my very own wedding invitation booklet after viewing these?!

I love the originality of each and every one of these. As a guest, it makes the anticipation of the wedding that much better — you know if the couple put that much thought into the invitation that the wedding will be even more special.

Those are gorgeous invitation inspirations. CDG does amazing work it seems…alas, something that elaborate would have been completely beyond our budget I suspect. My guess is that those invites would make letterpress look cheap!

Still gorgeous though…

I did booklets for my wedding invitations and everyone raved! Pictures can be found on this first part of a progress post I made about my planning progress: http://community.livejournal.com/weddingplans/13005941.html

What a great idea! I made booklet for our programs, and they weren’t too expensive. I bet they can be converted into invitations…not necessarily that $$ but time consuming, I suppose….

Hey Miss Pomegranate,

I remember your search for lovely black and white shoes, and came across a beautiful pair on sale for 45% off by Vince Camuto at Endless. I was drooling over them myself and wanted to pass it along.. here is the link:
