wedding programs

Don't have a large budget for last minute wedding details like programs? A quick and inexpensive direction is letter size paper stock, no custom cutting and you can print them at home. Add as many layers as you'd like, be sure for the cover to use a heavier weight paper stock for some rigidity. I recommend a 120# cover stock for the outside, and any text weight for the inside. For that little added touch, punch two holes in the center fold and add ribbon! There are a lot of different shaped hole punches, stars, hearts etc, but if you are going to use a ribbon it is not usually noticed.

The wedding coordinators wedding!

These dinner menu's were a great compliment to the mis-matched patterned plates, with a different pattern napkin for each menu!

Thank you to Annemarie Photography of austin for the quick beautiful shots!

Impressive printing!

You know you have an impressive printer when you can pull off 2 color letterpress and 2 color thermography with insanely tight registration! This collection did just that! The client wanted Crane's 268# stock, which posed a challenge to the printer as well. Letterpress can be printed on large rollers, thermography cannot. So we duplexed 2 stocks to give the desired weight for an end result that was beautiful.

In this close-up view you can really see the details off the letterpress and the thermography.

The rsvp card on my favorite Crane 268# stock also has 2 color letterpress and 2 color thermography.

Who says your rsvp has to be traditional. We carried the theme of the collection to this envelope for a fun feel.

Belly band o' fun! The couples favorite song is a Paul McCartney song, so we used an excerpt on a great textured linen stock, and pulled it together with a custom sticker on the back.

For some additional information and some great color pop, we used business card size info cards announcing a shuttle from hotels to the venue and back.

Make your rehearsal dinner invites fun for guests!

So many are afraid of labels on invitations of any kind. These are fun and beautiful with a printed label and hand calligraphy!


These fun pouches hold the rehearsal dinner invitation, nestled in a beautiful blue tissue paper, and printed with a navy blue Texas symbol





Nestled inside the pouch this great invitation on a great flexible canvas stock.

Wendee and Chris!

The guests have their invitations, so we can finally do a post on Wendee and Chris' invitations! The silk box is a unique open fold, fushia and navy blue. The outside is wrapped with handmade silk paper and adorned with a horse shoe for good luck. Green tissue paper is tucked around the edges for shipping.

The box itself is wrapped with double-sided satin ribbon and we used a custom printed coaster for the embellishment to reflect an element on the invitation.

The inside is lined to nestle the custom printed/calligraphy envelope with a custom silk-screened napkin to nestle for a keepsake!

wendee and chris

I'm chomping at the bit not to post the insanely beautiful invitation for wendee and chris, but they asked me not to post any pictures until all the guests received them in the mail! After 3 days of production assembly all I can show you is a quick shot of the boxes in the mail today! A true labor of love on this collection.

Stay tuned.... for the big reveal!

Custom printed linens

Whew, hitting the prize on this collection. For Wendee & Chris' invitation, we are doing a silk box, and the laura hooper calligraphy envelope housing the beautiful collection is a tadd smaller than the inside of the box. I asked Wendee, tissue paper, raffia, no, no. So! I came up with a great idea to nestle the group inside. A custom printed 20" x 20" linen. The envelope collection will be wrapped with a hand made type of tissue paper, wrapped with a midori ribbon and a mini-horse shoe embellishment (yes a real horseshoe!) and nestled into this fab silk-screened linen! ooh, I'm so excited!

Rehearsal Dinner Invites

I just love when a client approves the first round of design! Let me tell share that joy more so when it is an event planner for her very own wedding! I know I'm behind on my photo shoots of pieces in their environment, but love this design, and thrilled its a go. This rehearsal invitation will be in a silk-screened pouch inside a little box with custom label, and some surprise extras! (rsvp number blurred for obvious reason) Some tid-bits on this, it's going to be quite the event as a whole from many style me pretty's little black book vendors nationally!
