About a month ago, I received an email from an etsy customer who had purchased some stationery from me.  Her sister was looking for some wedding invitations and response cards and she wondered if I did those. Well, I hadn’t, but I’d been itching to try. This is what we came up with.

First up is the invitation. Ginny’s colors are gold and brown. The envelope is metallic gold and the invitation stock is iridescent pearl. The metallic/pearl effect of the papers doesn’t show up well in the photos (once again my sub-par photography skills thwart me!), but in person they are just beautiful.

Next up is the response card. Ginny decided to go with a postcard. The photo shows the front and back. It’s printed on the same iridescent pearl stock.

She also ordered some coordinating Thank You notes on the same pearl stock with gold metallic envelopes.

I was so nervous to hear the bride’s impression when she received them. She placed so much trust in me. Sure, we did proofs via email, but she had never seen samples of the inks on the paper stock.

Well, the bride received everything yesterday and called to say she loves them! Made my day!

    Hi Karlie,
    If you do a web search for Stardream paper, you’ll find what you are looking for. The color is Quartz.

    Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything. Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this blog could undeniably be one of the very best in its field. Wonderful blog!

    Hello,
    I love this style of invitation, and I want to know, just like some of the other women, if you could do my wedding invitations with the same design.
    Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.
    Sincerely,
    Jenna
