Invitation Indications

January 14th, 2010 @ 1:50 pm by Mrs. Parfait

My fantastically talented cousin, Julie, is designing all of our stationery, and she recently sent me some invitation designs. I was floored. They’re gorgeous, and I cannot wait to show you what I chose… but you’ll have to wait until after I send them out! I know, how cruel. In the meantime, I’ll give you some clues, so you have a notion of what they’ll be like.

She combined many of my stationery-related delights, including bold color:

Invitation Indications :  wedding invitations stationery 110 1

A graceful border:

A printed medley of thick and thin lines:

Itty bitty dots:

Invitation Indications :  wedding invitations stationery 53 4

And a little bunny surprise (LOL—not the kind you’d find in the snow):

Invitation Indications :  wedding invitations stationery 63 5

Now mash all that together, and you’ll have our invitations! :)

How far along are you in the invitation process? Are you including any little details that make you swoon?

my invitations are half way done. my sister, an illustrator, designed the invitation suite for us. it’s asian chic with traditional asian elements, such as double happiness lanterns, combines with letterpress printing. i found one in nyc that gave us a really good price for letterpressing 150 invites and rsvps for $400. she’s also designing our save-the-dates.

@Gerbera Daisy: Wow, what a deal! Isn’t it awesome having a loved one take care of the designing details?

@PurpleandBlue: Sorry about that–the source is the same as the second picture—from Mint Designs. I love her stuff!
