Mexican Papel Picado Wedding Invitation

As a graphic designer, I love working on invitations with true inspiration! This one was inspired by the bride's Mexican heritage and her lovely lace wedding gown.

At our consultation, she mentioned including papel picado banners at her wedding and wanted that image to set the tone. I designed the banner with her wedding date hidden within each panel. To incorporate her heritage even more, we included Spanish on the enclosure cards. For the seal, we used the appropriate "Amor". And to bring in her wedding dress design, I created a lace image on the enclosure cards. By using the lace in the bride's colors, we stayed true to the Mexican theme.

For the envelope liners, we purchased inexpensive doilies to give the envelopes that papel picado look without the cost of a custom die-cut liner.

Romantic Garden Wedding

What's more romantic than getting married in a garden?! With that in mind and incorporating colors of blush pink, silver and ivory, I created an invitation with a whimsical yet elegant frame overlaying a pink floral lace design.

The invitation and response card were letterpress printed on Crane's Lettra cotton cover stock. Edges of the cards were given soft round edges. The invitation was affixed to a beautiful silver metallic cardstock and backed with another layer of the Lettra cotton stock. The two backings added depth to the invitation as well as weight. 

I custom designed a monogram for the couple and had it printed on pink metallic cardstock to act as a belly band wrapped around the invitation.  Finally, the envelopes were lined in the same pink metallic paper.

The letterpress printed foldover thank you notes complemented the invitation design and incorporated their monogram; a pink metallic envelope was used.
