Boarding Pass Week :: Purple & Silver Mini Save the Dates

Kate — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 05:11:01 +0000

The mini boarding pass save the date was something that sort of evolved from my mini boarding pass rsvp cards. Someone asked about them at one point, and *poof!* I make them all the time now.

Kathleen was looking for a very specific purple and loved the look and feel of thermography printing. With purple and silver as her wedding colors, there was no room for white paper in these save the dates!

Boarding Pass Week :: Simple & Elegant Gold

Kate — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 06:48:18 +0000

I’ve been meaning to devote a week to boarding pass / plane ticket invitations for a while now. I have lots to catch up on!

Rarely do I ever do one exactly as one before. Everyone puts their own twist on the concept, sometimes subtle, sometimes pretty damatic.

Linda liked Helina’s invitations but wanted to keep the invitations more traditional and formal while still incorporating a travel theme. I love how simple they are…they would look amazing in Letterpress too.

Linda had me create some really fun accessories for her reception, which I’ll save for “Extras Week” at some point!

Destination New Orleans :: Plane Ticket Invitations

Kate — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 01:13:14 +0000

Paula had a destination wedding right here in the U.S. – no passports required! So boarding pass invitations were a fun way to invite guests. Paula liked the damask from some of my pocket invitations, so I incorporated it along with a New Orleans’ fleur-de-lis.

The information is arranged a little differently on these and I love how it worked out. The first boarding pass has travel details with accommodation information on the back. The second served as the formal invitation with a tear-off rsvp postcard.

{ With any luck, one day I’ll be able to take better photos of my invitation designs. } Speaking of photos …

Green was the color of the day and you can certainly see it throughout the photos! Click through to B&M Photography for THREE BLOG POSTS full of photos that really show how much fun they had! Here is just a tiny preview:

Mountain-Inspired Boarding Pass Invitations

Kate — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 04:11:18 +0000

Nadja’s invitations are inspired by the mountains that they love and their rustic red and yellow wedding theme.
After chatting for a bit, I had just the wrap in mind. This A.MA.ZING. handmade paper and raffia ribbon were just the right touch for these invitations.

How amazing is that red paper?

It’s like buttaaaaa… so soft…

Old School Boarding Pass Invitations

Kate — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 16:22:10 +0000

Maggie’s plane ticket invitations are a little blast from the past with the old computer font use liberally throughout.

A single card with a tear-off rsvp is super charming with a wrap-around holder and vintage airplane monogram seal!

Jessica’s Engagement Party Boarding Pass Invites

Kate — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 23:24:29 +0000

Jessica originally ordered the boarding passes to use as her save-the-dates, but ultimately decided to use them for her engagement party invitations instead, and had a very clear vision of what she wanted: a Paris and love theme with romantic stamps, in red and blue so that they coordinated with the ever-famous air-mail envelopes.

If there’s one thing that gets attention in the mail, it’s an air-mail envelope. The tear-off rsvp card makes it simple for guests to reply, though I have heard stories about invitees not wanting to send it back!

Coming soon: Jessica’s recipe cards and Passport Invitations.

Melissa’s Bright Flower Boarding Passes & Special Holder Too!

Kate — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 22:46:35 +0000

I was able to help Melissa out when the original designer she had booked suddenly went MIA, and I had so much fun working with her to create these invitations. She wanted a bright, bold, tropical and flowery boarding pass set. Her orange and pink color combination and hibiscus theme made it easy!

Another unique feature is the clear frosted holder that can be used a variety of ways to hold the boarding passes, and custom return address labels for the envelopes. One of my new favorites! (I feel like I’m saying that a lot lately while I re-live the past year of invitations through blogging)…

Boarding passes can be slipped into the cut-out on the front of the frosted holder (think what you actually get at the airport), or placed into the two pockets inside.

Marine & Josh’s Boarding Pass Invitation

Kate — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 11:20:48 +0000

A boarding pass invitation with a tear-off response card is a great option if you want something custom and unique, but also simple and budget-friendly. The tear-off rsvp needs only a post-card rate stamp (28¢ postage). These invitations are as great for weddings as they are for bar & bat mitzvahs, sweet sixteen parties, or rehearsal dinner invitations (especially if your wedding invitations were of the passport variety)!

Marine wanted to incorporate a Marlin into her stamp for her Florida wedding, and picked a great blue envelope that has a VERY subtle marbled effect.
