My sister's wedding is coming up in a few short weeks, and I have been really busy with all the paper items - programs, signs, tags, labels. It's a lot of fun, but there's a lot of it to do!
Here are two invitations that I recently designed for her. If any of you are interested in knowing my design rates, you can email me at cityofdionne@gmail.com.
Instead of an Afternoon Tea, the Bridal Shower is going to be an afternoon 'breakfast', since Breakfast is Karla's favorite meal of the day. When I think of breakfast, I think of coffee, toast and reading the newspaper, so I decided to incorporate newsprint into the background of the invite, but keep it girly with adding a frilly detail.
Then for the wedding - it's going to be a casual wedding, with the ceremony at the beach and the reception in a backyard. That's why I had the invitation printed on wood, to add to that casual theme.
What do you think?
