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!

I love the bold design on both sides of the horizontal invitation card.

A surprise design on the bottom of the reception card is a great way to continue the design while keeping the attention on the main invitation card when the PocketFold is first opened.

Programs and favor box tags kept the design going at the wedding and reception.

A quick peek is below, but head over to The Sweetest Occasion Blog and Elizabeth Ann Designs to see all the details!

Have to lead with the invitations, of course … : )

I designed the invitation with a frosty window pane in mind. So, so in love with the white wood-grained paper that brings so much texture and sets off the extra shimmery swirl-textured printed layers. This invitation would also be amazing  letterpressed and can be customized in just about any color.

And the table setting! Imagine a room full of tables with flower petals falling from above to emulate snowflakes.

Part of the inspiration challenge was to include a DIY element. The frosted glass crystal table number tutorial is outlined on the The Sweetest Occasion Blog.

The swirl design on the band wrap flows to the back of the invitation, and frames the guest mailing addresses on the envelopes.

Inserts are tucked into the band behind the main invitation panel for a cohesive package.

Response card with envelope and accommodations card – fun elegant wording really caught guests’ attention: “__ Accepts with pleasure and looking forward to dining, dancing and celebrating; __ Will regrettably miss the fun. So many guests sent comments back on the rsvp cards about how excited they were to attend. I’m sure the wording played a huge part in this!

Kristen and John enjoy visiting wineries and wine tasting and decided to name their tables after wines instead of just numbers – so fun!

Guests will be greeted with place cards serving several purposes – the cards will be held in frames (their wedding favors), directing them to their seat, and also to the photo booth.

And of course, special keepsake place cards for the newlyweds! (Last names have been changed of course).

Nysha also had several fun Extras which will be posted soon, stay tuned!

I love the narrow pocket she chose, and although smaller than other pocket fold styles, still holds A LOT of information.

A leaf from the damask artwork is pulled out as a design element on the enclosure cards so the artwork doesn’t take over the cards but still tie into the main design.

Carrie’s Extras will be finished soon, I can’t wait to show them off!

This gold metallic paper is really unique in that it holds its own against darker colors like the burgundy PocketFold holding the inserts. To add a little contrast, the mailing and rsvp envelopes are a lighter metallic taupe. Irena also had several fun Extras which I’ll post soon.

The orchid theme will be carried onto her invitations and here are used to frame one of their engagement photos for a stunning save the date magnet.
