I created an elegant passport-styled travel guide that was mailed to their guests just weeks before the wedding. Extra pages were added to reach a total of  10 pages containing the visa and invitation wording page, a schedule of events, where the bride and groom could be found throughout the week, a list of favorite restaurants and cafes, a wedding-day timeline … even internet access information.

Since an rsvp card was not needed,  and there was still more information to include, I suggested using the separate card to hold a list of phone numbers and a thorough list of common phrases translated into Italian. That way, guests can tuck the card into a wallet for easy reference while touring the city!

While I have created many passport invitations with gold foil-stamped covers, this is the first to officially hit the blog!

Foil-stamped covers give the invitations an extra level of passport styling and look so SO luxurious, especially when printed on a rich textured matte cover.  They end up looking like a real passport cover – but BETTER! What the photos don’t show at all is the amazing white metallic paper  which looks like your usual high-quality white paper until it’s in dimmer light and reflects an insane amount of gold shimmer seemingly from nowhere!

Even guests at their at-home reception were able to join the fun when the passports were used as table accents.
