Wedding Invitations

A colleague's friend who is getting married wanted to make her own wedding invitations and she was referred to me for help. It was the first time I sat down with a bride to come up with a design for her to use, but it went wonderfully well. She seemed really pleased with the design we came up with and had even decided coming in after flipping through the catalogue that she wanted to buy a Big Shot. It made my designing job SO much easier because we were able to play with embossing folders for a fast and beautiful result. She also later bought the Favor Box die to make her own favors.

While I didn't photograph her personalized sample when we were done, I did prepare a couple of quick samples to have something to show her as a starting point for our conversation. I kept those extremely simple, knowing that she had never done paper crafts before and that she had over a hundred invitations to make.

I thought I would share those with you in case anyone is looking for ideas. The text does not pertain to the bride I met, it is an example of a wedding invitation text I found online and copied in Word.
