This humorous and casual touch sets the stage for couple's fun-themed wedding.

The Invitations: A Burst of Color

The journey to Sarah and Nick’s wedding began long before the guests stepped foot at Rocky’s Lake Estate; it started with the invitations. I met Sarah and Nick at a cozy coffee shop in charming downtown Duluth where we reviewed ideas for their invitations and stationery. I knew from our conversation that these could not be an ordinary invitation, but a preview of the colorful extravaganza to come. After a few design conversations, we settled on a design with a palette that could rival a rainbow.

The intricate watercolor pattern of bold splashes of color, and modern/fun typography converged to create an inviting visual feast. The choice of colors—vivid hues mirrored the couple’s vibrant personalities and the joyful spirit of their union. It wasn't just the design that stood out; the texture of the paper quality of the gold foil printing conveyed a sense of luxury and attention to the finest detail.

Personal Touches

Adding a personal touch, Sarah and Nick's wording was unique and tailored specifically for their audience. 'Sarah and Nick are going legit!' and 'We need witnesses, and you made the cut.' You can't get more original or personal than that! Sarah and Nick truly understood their audience and the emotions they wanted to evoke when their guests opened the envelope. This thoughtful detail set the tone for a wedding that was both intimate and undeniably fun."

EVENT DAY STATIONERY:

"I always recommend incorporating Event Day stationery into your wedding or event design. Place cards, table numbers, and signage are essential for creating a cohesive and memorable stationery suite. While venues may provide generic options, why settle for ordinary? Your stationery should reflect your unique aesthetic and vibe, bringing an authentic and unforgettable touch to your special day."
