Lisa’s 5×7 pocket fold invitation is one of the most popular styles we design for brides, due to its versatile size and overall design that allows up to four cards to be tucked into the pocket. Lisa’s invitation was clean and classic with a more modern twist since we used nearly all Roman fonts- she didn’t want any frills – no ribbon, no swirly scripts, nothing fancy. The one thing she knew she wanted was a watermark of the Carillon Park Bell Tower on the seal on the outside…but no matter what we tried it just didn’t look right, so I came up with another layout idea for the seal instead, using her and Matt’s initials and a decorative ampersand…and she loved it. This is still one of my favorites to this day because of its simple yet classic look that is dressed up ever-so-cooly with the patterned pocket.

Silver. Black. A script with lots of swashes. Double-faced Midori satin ribbon. Add those ingredients together and you have the recipe for an elegant formal wedding invitation. Stephanie chose a silver metallic pocket invitation in a classic 5×7 size for her Hilton Head destination wedding because she wanted to make sure people knew it would still be a relatively formal event despite it being at the beach at sunset. We work with a lot of destination brides, and most of the time we go with something in tropical colors, or perhaps use a palm tree graphic. This invitation was stunning and let her guests know what to expect (so they wouldn’t show up to the wedding in shorts).
