Personalized Black Wedding Invitations

This has got to be one of the coolest wedding invitations I've seen in awhile. While the black makes it ultra cool, it's these little perforated circles on the invite that make it really unique. From La Caja de Tipos who designed the invite:

"With all this we have created an invitation in two parts, the lower with the event data and instructions for in order that everyone know what to do and top with a series of micro-perforated circles with laser that can be separated as each guest wants and, this way, draw various elements regarding the wedding such as a heart, rings, a shrimp ... typical things."

Custom Illustrated Wedding Invitations

I recently designed some wedding invitations for a friend who lives in southern California. They wanted to do illustrated versions of them and use the colors yellow and purple (Laker colors). This was the end result! It was really fun and I had help from illustrator Anne To with the artwork on the invitation itself.


The programs were done in a fan style and the little seating cards had the menu listed inside.

Thanks to Keith and Bok for letting me be a part of your special day!

Pearl Jam Inspired Wedding Invitation

Discovered this lovely wedding invitation from one plus one design also known for designing the infamous letterpressed "Away We Go" hot air balloon wedding invitation. The bride and groom wanted to incorporate their appreciation for music into the invite. The birds themselves also have an important meaning to their wedding--specifically the processional. Love their work!

"The two birds are based on a lyric from the song Shelly walked down the aisle to, ‘Low Light’ by Pearl Jam. ‘Two birds is what they’ll see, getting lost upon their way’ sums this couple up perfectly. The two birds represent the night they met, amazingly at a Pearl Jam concert in Toronto, and the guitar for music of course, their shared passion (til death do them part)."

A Paper Record Wedding Invitation-Yes! It Plays Music!

Discovered this amazing and unique wedding invitation on Swiss Miss. It is incredibly ingenious with a wonderful design to boot. It is a booklet-style invitation designed with some paper-folding that amplifies the sound of a sewing needle moving along the grooves of a flexidisc record. This brilliant design was done by Kelli Anderson and she even has a video demo of it in action. So there's only one question to be asked, "Does your wedding invitation make music?"


Check out the demo!

Wood-Engraved invitations and favors

After seeing the beautiful wood-engraved tags on Oh, Hello Friend, I had to go see RobertoSand's work for myself.

From Oh, Hello Friend's Wedding

He had an array of different pieces including wood engraved wedding invitations.
Gorgeous detail!

What great wedding favors ideas. If only he was around when I got married. Love these wooden airplane favors. Pricing is also very reasonable!

A Vintage Travel-Themed Wedding

This past summer, I helped some good friends design their wedding invitations. The rules? They wanted it to be travel-themed (since they are both big globetrotters) and had to utilize the colors of their alumni, University of Washington which were gold and purple. The bride really wanted to do the invitation like a passport. Slightly hesitant because while her wedding was meant to be very romantic and vintage, those colors didn't really quite fit the palette and I've seen one too many cheesy passport invitations. We eventually came to an agreement that it didn't have to literally read like a passport but still come off as one. Hopefully that goal was accomplished.

The cover was foil stamped in silver onto Curious Touch lavender skin cover stock (which feels almost like leathery). I seriously was in love with that paper. It sat in a translucent gold envelope for delivery. All saddle stitched together with purple thread.

Instead of the traditional passport invite look of having the couple's photo and a form layout, we went for the traditional looking invitation inside to maintain the vintage feel. It was purple ink digitally printed onto cream cardstock.

Threw in some vintage drawings for good measure. The postcard RSVP was to mirror old-school telegram forms (as seen in next image). It was perfed for easy and convenient mailing.

I also really loved their wedding photos by Rock the Image. Check out the wonderful wedding below. You'll see below that the seating charts were all passports to different cities theyve visited tucked into a little passport holder. Each table was marked with a miniaturized version of special landmarks. Check out more fab photos on the photographer's blog.

Lawn Ornaments & Fireflies Wedding Invitation

What an interesting combination, but this illustrative wedding invitation of garden gnomes and jars of fireflies turned out quite fun! Simple one color and whimsical, it definitely helps set the tone of the wedding. Designed by a creative agency in Charleston, SC called Fuzzco.
