A couple of years ago (where has the time gone??!!) I created a wedding suite for a super sweet bride Ginny and blogged about it. Due the magic of the web, that blog post showed up on several bride’s radar and I had the good fortune to produce that design in additional colors. It always amazes me how color can change the “feel” of something whether it be an invitation, an outfit or a room. I just love color. sigh.

Invite - Eggplant on White Card Stock with Silver Mettalic Envelope
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!
