Wedding Invitation

Dec 14 ,

Back in March my boyfriend, Pete, and I got engaged. Our wed­ding was at City Park in New Orleans on Sep­tem­ber 26. We were pretty busy between wed­ding plan­ning and buy­ing our first home, but we did man­age to design and pro­duce our own wed­ding invi­ta­tions. I’ve been look­ing for­ward to post­ing these for a while! Since we are both design­ers we pretty much felt oblig­ated to make our own wed­ding invi­ta­tions, and it turned out to be a great chance for us to work together on a project (which we rarely get the oppor­tu­nity to do, surprisingly).

full invitation

We mailed the invi­ta­tions in black envelopes and tied all of the pieces together with a blue ribbon.

invitation tag

We printed our mono­gram on one side of the tag and the names of guests on the reverse.

Pete designed the PBJ mono­gram, which is beau­ti­ful if I do say so myself. :)

RSVP card

We included a map with directions to the venue.

stamps

The 2009 Love stamps are gor­geous, and I was so excited to use them!

    Jenny I am sooo proud of you and what you have become! I really did appre­ci­ate your shar­ing your tal­ent. I had not real­ized how much work and time that artists have to put into the final prod­uct. I wish you much suc­cess in your field of design!! Love you, Your Grandma

    I was googling some­thing about proper use of ital­ics and your blog came up. It just so hap­pens that I am in the process of design­ing my own wed­ding invi­ta­tions! Yours are by far the most beau­ti­ful I’ve ever seen. Would you mind telling me what type face you used for the dec­o­ra­tive type.

    Thanks for the inspiration!

    I just wanted to say you guys did a fan­tas­tic job on this, and the ADDYs are stu­pid anyway.
