Baby Shower- Bright and Beautiful!

 
  

What's fun about these bright and colorful baby shower invitations is the transparent vellum envelope that they come in to show off what's inside. I'm sure these got some attention in the mailroom! We did these invites above in Watermelon and Kiwi, a great color combination to say 
"It's a Girl!!!". 
Below, is an adorable color combination for a boy in blue and brown. This little one was so excited about these invitations to his baby shower that he decided to arrive early and join in the fun!
           They come as a 4x5 bi-colored folding card with an adorable baby die cut.

Custom Wedding Invitation, Serving Hundreds!





This event was a three day Indian wedding with over 400 friends and family attending. This couple wanted something traditional yet new and refreshing and we think we tackled it perfectly. Previously in the blog you can take a look at the beginning in's and out's of when we first began this fun and challenging job. There were so many minute details involved in these invitations including itinerary's, maps, menus, placecards and more. Not to mention the details to the elephant which was the first thing the invitees would see. We used a dark red and ivory color palette and placed three sapphire crystals on each elephant as a decorative embellishment to complete the look. This was a challenging feat to say the least! Three crystals on each elephant hand placed for about 400 invites... you do the math! In the end the result was stunning, completely worth every effort. Take a look for yourself!

LaProvidencia Guild of the Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles - Annual Meeting & Luncheon




The customizing and design for these programs is simple and elegant for the ladies at LaProvidencia. Their "annual meeting & Luncheon" this year is a black and white theme. The finished program was printed on a matte finish card stock as a single folded page with a score down the center of black and white, simply elegant! A perfect and inviting program for lunch! Thank you so much ladies of LaProv!!

Custom Wedding Invitation...for Tony Romo?




Well, let me start by saying no, we did not do invitations for the Tony Romo's wedding. But when your mom is a custom wedding invitation designer and her daughter comes home from accounting class with a project to plan an entire wedding, (budgets, plans, invites, and all), you just have to let her design her dream wedding with her dream groom! This is what my beautiful daughter thought up and designed. Take a peek!

Destination Wedding Invitation



Talk about romance! This lovely couple decided to have an intimate destination wedding abroad followed by a local celebration when they returned. Serving two purposes, this invitation is not only an invite to their reception, but it's also an announcement saying "We tied the knot!!" Using a combination of orange and burnt red, these invitations reflect their locale of Arizona. On these mini 4x5 invites we added a lovely calla lily motif and a vellum sash to hold the front flap and RSVP in place. As an added step we addressed them and dropped them in the mail as well. Anything to keep the romance alive, well and stress free!

A wonderful milestone to celebrate, we had the pleasure of putting together this fun invitation for Nancy's 50th. A savvy setting of purple, black and white with a swarovski crystal accent serving as the olive in a martini glass says it all! "I'm 50 and lovin' it, come celebrate with me!!" It was our pleasure Nancy, Happy Birthday!!

Pasadena Police Activities League Fundraiser



Being involved with the community is incredibly rewarding. We had the honor to design and create all event collateral for this years fundraiser for the Pasadena Police Activities League. Aka PAL, the league is a youth crime prevention program that relies on educational, athletic, and other recreational activities to develop and maintain a bond between police officers and the youth of the community. This year they are honoring former Pasadena Police Chief Bernard K. Melekian. The theme is a spin off from Cirque du Soleil, entitled "Cirque du PAL". Included in the three page sponsor packet is an invitation with an honoree insert, a "Save the Date" postcard, and an RSVP. Keeping it green by saving paper (and costs!), we used an 'envelofold' which encases the invitation, and holds the inserts inside. Serving it's dual purpose as an envelope, once folded, we added a sticker with the PAL logo to keep it closed. We also printed the return address and bulk rate permit for easy mailing. Thanks PAL! You have our support!!

LaProvidencia - Childrens Hospital Los Angeles
















This is the fifth year that I have had the pleasure of working with this amazing nonprofit organization. La Providencia is made up of a wonderful philanthropic group of women that raise money through a local thrift store and charity events for the Childerens Hospital of Los Angeles. This Save the Date card is for their annual cotillion, their formal ball. Using a Habana theme for their event, we had fun putting together this savvy card to mark the occasion. I designed it as a 4x6 postcard to keep the costs low (postage for postcards is only $.26!). We love staying involved with the local community!!
