The invitation is a classic A7 single card (printed on both sides). First things first - I knew I wanted a pattern because they are pretty… but mostly since it would play an important role in our cake design (explanation coming soon). Secondly, I wanted the invitation to have movement, that’s why I didn’t place all the text flush left
For the RSVP I decided to go the Postcard route. I think this is an excellent idea for all you eco-friendly brides. Cost efficient and less paper… what could be better than that.I kept the idea of the pattern to keep a consistency in the design. As for the other side, I found an image of an old clock (which happened to be NYC) and with the use of Live Trace in Adobe Illustrator CS2, I was able to create this unique vector image. I love the feel of transforming a photo to a vector… it automatically makes it more vintage looking.
Since we are getting married at a hotel, I needed accommodations card to advise our guests of special rates. I really love this piece… maybe it’s because of the vintage looking hotel on the card. I bascially used the same steps to transform a photo to a vector image.The colors might change slightly depending on the color of the envelopes. And of course some tweaking will occur… but overall I love it. I am really happy with the outcome.
