    2013 Top Trend - Invitations That Tell A Story

    This week’s top trend is one of our favorites – telling the story of the couple and how they got together!

     

     

    story-invitation-1

    The story-telling invitation, designed by the bride, takes guests through their first meeting in high school through their on-again/off-again long distance courtship, and ultimately invites guests to the wedding.

    story-invitation-4

    The design utilizes lots of fun fonts and graphic elements to lead readers through the information while maximizing the use of space on the paper.

    story-invitation-2

    The invite fits perfectly on our Signature Z-Card, even utilizing the space on the flap.

    story-invitation-3

    The design was carried on in the RSVP card.  So much fun!

    Let us know if we can help you with your perfect invitation!

    Congrats 2013 Grads!

    Custom photo graduation announcements by EnvelopMe.com

    By Paula Smith

    How do you say “We are so proud of you!” Shout it out! The best way is to send out a custom Graduation Announcement, of course.  We offer many options for Graduation Announcements. One of my personal favorite is a Photo Card. It can be as simple as a single photo with just the name and date or it can be as grand as a double-sided or folding card with multiple photos.

    We can customize your Announcement in school colors, favorite colors, or even a theme. You can call or email with any questions for your custom invitation. We also offer standard (non-custom) announcements at a 30% discount (and you can design online). Either way,  we are happy to help you celebrate this great accomplishment!

    A “Mason Jar” themed Rustic Wedding

    Erin & Jason’s Rustic Wedding – photo by www.collettemrukphotography.com

    Rustic weddings are hot, and we have been dying to share this delightful rustic invitation suite that we created for Erin & Jason, along with Wedding Coordinator Shannon McLeod (whom we adore, by the way!).  And we thought it would be fun to take you through the design process of how this invitation came to be.

    It all started with a mason jar and an idea or two. The wedding was being held at the breathtaking Boone Hall Plantation in South Carolina, so the couple wanted an invitation that would set the stage for the amazing venue. Continue reading A “Mason Jar” themed Rustic Wedding
