My Custom Wedding Invitations

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:40:00 +0000

Here are the custom wedding invitations I made for my wedding, including the RSVP and map designs. The wording is printed on a text-weight paper that shimmers in a blue color. This panel was embossed with a bamboo stencil, shaded using a pigment ink, and then mounted onto a darker blue shimmery accent paper. This was all attached to a heavyweight textured cardstock in "Admiral" blue.

These are the wedding invitations I designed for my sister-in-law. I made custom washi-lined pockets and designed the invite wording panel, map, RSVP, and Welcome Luau invite.
