Mrs. Argyle's Picture
Mrs. Argyle, St. Louis Age and Occupation: 24, Project Coordinator Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Pilot Engagement Date: February 15, 2009 Wedding Date: September 2010 Venue: Jewel Box in Forest Park and Windows on Washington About Me: I'm a true Midwestern girl (born and raised), lover of red wine, reality TV and the entire J.Crew catalog. I love to dance regardless of who is watching, and enjoy a good laugh with my girls. I have a soft spot in my heart for planet Earth, my two dogs and my fiance. Fall is my favorite season (which is why we are marrying in September), but I love a warm summer day and the Colorado mountains in the winter. We are planning a modern soiree downtown, with lots of bold colors, and fun, eco-friendly elements.
About Mrs. Argyle

So, I love our invites. They were a serious labor of love considering I redesigned them so. many. freaking. times. And, I love how each piece in the suite has its own little unique piece.

And, now that you’ve seen all of the pieces (rehearsal dinner invite, the main invite, the map / directions card and the RSVP postcard) individually, how did it all come together?. Quite perfectly, if I don’t say so myself (minus the poor photography on my part):

And, are you wondering what we did with those strips and circles? We made belly bands that coordinate with our invite design, of course.

We’ve received some great feedback from our guests. They love the bold color, the simple design, the map. And, we have loved receiving all of our RSVPs so far.

Were you happy with your overall invitation suite? Were you excited to see it all come together?

Argyle, they all look great together! I wish we had some better photography of our invitation suite too. You never think to take your invitation to the wedding for photography!

I want to know about the white font too. Was it on colored paper? Or was it on white paper (using a lot of pink and orange ink!)

@Mrs. Snow: I actually mailed one to my photog just in case I forget to bring one, she’ll have the whole set handy!

@gmreyes2: I designed them myself, but had them professionally printed. @Dreamer12781: They were all printed on white paper, using a digital printing process, so the red and orange you see is ink.

@Mrs. Taco: I’m glad someone else loves wedding maps as much as me :)

Glad you had fun with the design and printing of your wedding invites. As a printer I like to see what other people do. God bless you and have a great wedding!
