Invitation Sensation

One of the questions I get asked almost every day is, “If I’m having a destination wedding, should I still do formal invitations?”
The answer is: Absolutely! Invitations are a gorgeous part of your wedding experience and just as important as choosing a flower or color theme for your special day. While in the past few years, invitations have been largely ignored as a method of keeping the budget down, destination brides have recently been bringing back this tradition of sending out beautiful formal invitations out of consideration for their guests that might not be able to attend.
“My grandmother is a huge part of my life,” Lindsay* a bride/client from Connecticut explained. “She can’t fly to my wedding because of her age, so I want to incorporate her in the process as much as possible.” And she’s right. Many older generations see the wedding invitation as a crucial element and can’t fathom not sending them out. So why not indulge a little in the wonderful world of tissue, design and letterpress, while satisfying certain social expectations at the same time, shall we? (more…)

Save the Date Magnets
Mimmo+Naz
When it came to my own DW, I decided to make my own save-the-date magnets. I figured this would be a sure way to keep the event fresh in my guests’ minds and get them thinking about booking their tickets to my wedding.
To start, I asked a very creative graphic designer friend to help me create the layout. We talked about sticking with a beach/tropical theme, but staying away from something too cheesy or cartoonish. Also, I wanted to incorporate my love for things antique into the design, so he came up with a vintage palm tree motif. I loved it instantly! He laid out the design in a tiled format on a standard 8.5 x 11 paper size so I could print them from home.
If you’re thinking of making magnets, I totally suggest it, as it’s not a hard project, it just takes a bit of effort. Once you have the design in place, you will need to go shopping for supplies! I purchased magnet paper (I literally bought a huge sheet off of a roll of magnetic paper) from an art store. I also bought some gorgeous cream coloured linen paper to print the designs. The cream colour really accented the olive green palm tree hues, and somehow enhanced the vintage feel I was aiming for. With paper in hand, I ran it through my HP home printer and had the project off to a great start. (more…)
