Happy Thanksgiving!
Referrals are vital to my graphic design and stationery business so this year I created a "thank you" Thanksgiving mailing to Austin wedding planners, who have supported me. Using a beautiful lace handkerchief, I screenprinted my thank you message directly onto it. I simply folded the handkerchief up and tied it with yellow satin ribbon and inserted it into a matching envelope. To complete the look, I custom printed gray envelope liners with "Thank You" written in several different languages. And to give the mailing a little Thanksgiving whimsy, I added to the bottom of the handkerchief: "Keep Calm and Gobble On".
If you are interested in gifting your mom, grandmother or new mother-in-law a custom printed handkerchief at your wedding, please let me know. You can also use a handkerchief as your wedding save the date or invitation. Email me for additional information, including pricing, at info@theinvitingpear.com.

Bliss Bridal Magazine Feature
I had the honor of designing a menu and wedding invitation for the cover shoot of Bliss Bridal Magazine's winter issue. Because the theme was "winter wonderland", the colors were white with some pops of tiffany blue. I decided to think outside of the box and created a clear acrylic invitation with snow and birch trees printed on it. The invitation was wrapped with sparkly tiffany blue imported paper and white satin ribbon. Placed in a silver mailing box, the invitation set was extremely luxe. The round acrylic menu was placed on a clear easel. To see the feature in person, pick up a Bliss Bridal Magazine today!
