All of our invitations have now reached their destinations, so it’s time to reveal them to the blogosphere!
So much went into the these it’s hard to know where to begin. Our inspirations for invitations from the beginning were passport-style invitations and boarding-pass invitations, but we were not completely in love with either one. What we wanted was the chic feel of a pocketfold invitation with the fun style of the boarding-pass invitation. Like this:
Whoa, wait…. a pocketfold invitation AND a boarding-pass invitation all in one? SOLD! That single picture was the beginning of two long months and one of the biggest DIY projects we have ever done.
A fully detailed how-to post is coming soon—cross my heart—but until then, here are the results. First, the envelope:
When our guests removed the invitation from the envelope, they saw:
And when they opened the pocketfold:
Gotcha! Didn’t think I was going to make it this easy, did you? I know, I know. I am a mean little Meerkat to tease you like this, but I don’t want to give away the final reveal until the how-to post. *grin*
How long did it take you to make your invitations? Did you run into any unexpected bumps in the road?
Yay! I love boarding pass invitations. We made boarding pass STDs! Our invitations for all 400 of our invited guests took me over 1 year to design and execute. Bumps in the road, heck yeah there were. Too many to name here even. Can’t wait to see the rest of your invitation suite. They’re already sooo pretty.
This. is. brilliant. Meerkat! And it’s DIY?! Love.

Mrs. Meerkat, Kalamazoo, MI/Riviera Maya Age and Occupation: 30, Application Engineer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, IT Consultant Engagement Date: July 26, 2008 Wedding Date: December 2010 Venue: Al Cielo / La Laguna About Me: I’m a tech-savvy tomboy with an affinity for hot tea and good sushi. Us Meerkats are just a couple fun lovin’ geeks from Michigan. We love anything having to do with movies, books, video games or technology and we hold a special place in our hearts for our two very spoiled shih-tzus, Wicket and Bravo. We also LOVE to travel. We love it so much it only took us 12 hours after we got engaged to decide to have a destination wedding. We are working our little Meerkat tails off planning a rustic-chic, travel themed destination wedding in the Riviera Maya with a semi-formal, vintage-turned-modern, outdoor at home reception back here in Michigan.
