Oh buddy… this invitation kept us laughing from the moment the customer brought the idea to us. She saw something similar elsewhere and wanted to know if we could recreate it for her… and it was truly our pleasure. This surprise 40th birthday party for the client’s husband played up the golf theme while humorously incorporating various innuendos throughout.
City skylines made quite a splash in this year’s printed world… Tag and Co. offers some really cool skyline ideas- everything from abstract outlines to more detailed pencil sketches. With the popularity of “going local”, people are developing a healthy sense of pride in their communities and wanting to show off their local love by incorporating skylines of their city on everything from save the dates to rehearsal dinner invitations. (It would also be cool to screen print a skyline onto t-shirts for the bridal party- hint, hint.)
Heather found us online, all the way from Hawaii! She knew she wanted to use green and yellow in her invitations, so we went back and forth via email with color swatch ideas for the card stock and the ribbon. She settled on a tall, tea length card in a leafy palm pattern, incorporating the yellow with her ribbon.
The credit for this grey on grey, half-tone monogram belongs to Eric, our intern who transplanted to Washington to work with reclaimed wood in early 2014. This was one of his projects while he was with us, and the monogram (which the bride absolutely loved) carried throughout the pieces of this no-fuss, grey and ivory wedding invitation suite.
This was another of my favorites this year. The invitation was neutral and formal using a palette of black, a tiny bit of ivory, and shades of gold. We used all metallic stocks, which set an extra elegant tone. One thing that was different about this invitation suite is that it included a card that listed the dates, venues, and locations of all of the wedding events to make it easy for guests to keep track of where they were supposed to be and when. To coordinate with her invitations, we also designed programs and rehearsal dinner invitations in the same color scheme.
