Our invitations were one serious labor of love. I redesigned them multiple times, a little more satisfied with the design with each revision. And, with a welcomed epiphany earlier this year, we settled on a final design, one that was art deco enough for us both, but still minimalist.

We took somewhat of a different approach with our invites, opting to go a tad less formal with the wording. I love the formality of a wedding, but our wedding is no black-tie affair. For one, my parents like to go by their first names, and for the most part, Mr. A’s do as well. There are no “Mr. and Mrs. Argyles” in this family. And, because both parents so generously split the cost of the wedding, we made sure to include them both. And, my favorite part? They are red. A bold and gorgeous shade of red.

In sticking with our eco-friendly goal, we printed front and back.

Using the back of the main invitation to include the reception details / times / address. As for the design, I mirrored the front and reversed the colors, using red for the text on this side.

And the second best part? It’s all printed on 100% recycled cardstock. Score.
