You are Cordially Invited!

One of the many things my mom has passed down to me is her love of creating printable items. Booklets, pamphlets, newsletters, games and yes, invitations. Well, it was a no brainer that I’d be designing our wedding invitation.

The first thing I wanted to do with all the stationary was use the same two fonts to help tie it all together. I loved the idea of using a very masculine font such as Copperplate Gothic Light with a very romantic script like Chopin Script. The duo creates a great balance, sort of like Thomas & I.

When it came to the “design” both Thomas and I agreed we’d like to use our wedding colors as well as stick with the fall theme we are trying to create. After trying numerous leaves, trees and various foliage, I came across a graphic set leaves on a stock photo site that interested me. After I purchased the set, and fiddled with the design for a week or so, voila - A completed invitation!!

I was sure to carry the same design throughout all of the invite pieces. Yes, we have a few pieces: RSVP card, reception card, accommodations’ card and directions card. An associate of my mom’s printed the invitations from Florida and we purchased the pocket-folds, matting and envelopes from an internet vendor. The entire invite will be finished off with ribbon. I hope you all love our pocket-fold invites as much as we do!
