Custom Halloween Wedding Invitations

 

We recently had the pleasure of designing a custom wedding invitation for Leslie & Darrel, who are getting married on Halloween. We fused historic Calavera illustrations with southwestern imagery to create something completely original for them. Once the designs were finalized we used a combination of letterpress and flat printing( the full color items) to produce the pieces.

We recently had the pleasure of designing the paper for this lovely wedding.

We love it when we get the opportunity to work with a couple from start to finish. 

We worked closely with the bride, Cyndi, to design all of her paper starting with the save the date all the way through her reception. We had so much fun with her whimsical vintage style!

Summer Begins!!

Since this is the first week of Summer we are inspired by the amazing parties you can have.  Since Austin is a city with great lakes we thought what a better party to have then a party by the lake.  

We love this invitation by Inviting Company for perfect cookout party by the lake.  

These are great plates that can be personalized from Fontaine Maury for the perfect party.  

These trays that can also be personalized by Fontaine Maury are a cute accessory to any outdoor party. 

Also do not forget the food.  We are love this grilled chicken with corn.  What a great summer drink idea: Bing Cherry Mojito.  Here's to the beginning of a great Summer filled with fun, sun and family!

Real Invitations - Chris + Emma's Vintage Texas Cactus Invitations

We were super excited when our very talented in house designer, Emma, had her wedding invitations featured on one of our favorite blogs Oh So Beautiful Paper! 

Emma + Chris's southwestern cactus-inspired wedding invitations are a true representation of their upcoming Texas wedding.  Emma is employed as a designer and salesperson at Inviting Affairs.  We are so excited for her upcoming wedding.

Emma drew her inspiration from nature, art, and all things vintage. 

Emma's wedding will be out doors in the hill country of Austin and she wanted an invitation that reflected the southwest without being overtly western. I had the invitations letterpress printed at our awesome vendor Stationery Works using a warm grey ink.

Keeping all the letterpress printed pieces one color helped keep the overall cost down and Emma was able to add in pops of color with the bright yellow envelope liner and a reproduction vintage postcard (which she printed herself). All the pieces were then tied together in little bundles with yellow bakers twine from Whisker Graphics.

The outer envelopes brought it all together with calligraphy and vintage cactus postage that Emma found on Ebay.
