There is so much that can be done with special papers to enhance the mood of an event or party. Here are some ideas.

Starfish Passport Invitations with a Twist!

But I’m not revealing the “twist” until later when I am able to photograph the whole set. Here’s a preview of them waiting to be boxed up the other day.

Stay tuned for the new passport invitation feature!

Heather’s Seating Chart

I’m long over-due to post Heather’s save the dates and invitations, and will be shipping her wedding-day extras very soon.  Here’s a little taste of her invitation suite design which was carried onto her super-elegant seating chart.

I’m in love with her gold, ivory and eggplant color scheme.

Christine’s Extras – Simple Orchids

Christine’s Save the Date magnets started the clean orchid design theme that is continued on both her invitations and extras.

Rebecca’s Lighthouse Table Name Cards

I designed Rebecca’s passport invitations a while back, and she wanted her table name/number cards to reflect the lighthouse theme she is using at the reception.

Kristen’s Luxe Pink & Gold Invitations

I just left Kristen with the place cards and table name cards for her wedding, and just couldn’t wait to post them. I met with Kristen and John for the first time a year and a half ago (referred to me from the DJs at Mike Staff Productions) and have had a great time chatting and brain-storming with them ever since. Kristen’s all-metallic pink and quartz panel invitations are accented with a monogramed gold metallic linen band that holds the enclosure cards in place behind the main panel.

Jessica’s Recipe Card Favor Tags

Jessica is known for making her special Madellines. Being such a hot item, they were the thank you gift for guests at her engagement party. I designed these ultra-elegant recipe cards based on the tear-off rsvp card idea:

Jessica’s Engagement Party Boarding Pass Invites

Jessica originally ordered the boarding passes to use as her save-the-dates, but ultimately decided to use them for her engagement party invitations instead, and had a very clear vision of what she wanted: a Paris and love theme with romantic stamps, in red and blue so that they coordinated with the ever-famous air-mail envelopes.

Melissa’s Bright Flower Boarding Passes & Special Holder Too!

I was able to help Melissa out when the original designer she had booked suddenly went MIA, and I had so much fun working with her to create these invitations. She wanted a bright, bold, tropical and flowery boarding pass set. Her orange and pink color combination and hibiscus theme made it easy!
