Luxurious Red, Black, and Cream Wedding Invitation

I've been noticing a trend lately. Red and black are hot colors! Just check out the great wedding invitation I created for Julie and Chris who are getting married right around Valentine's Day.

 

This invitation is a tri-fold with one of our Exquisite Embellishments and black satin ribbon. The side of the invite is hand-punched with a delicate pattern.

Inside includes the hand stamped invite, response card, and directions card. Don't you just love the red rose? Perfect for a Valentine's Day theme.

 

 

The response card and directions card are held in place by black satin ribbon.

 

Oh, and just one more gratuitous shot of that rhinestone buckle. I just love accessorizing with bling!

 

We have lots of bling and lots of colors to choose from for your custom wedding invitations. Just contact us for a free consultation.

 

Unique Wedding Programs - Playbill Style

One more post about my fun and unique couple in New York who are having a Broadway themed wedding. Here's their reception program. It's reminiscent of a Playbill from a real Broadway production.

 
 

This 12 page program was created digitally with photos and text supplied by the bride and printed on glossy magazine style paper. Each guest will receive one of these fun programs that outlines information about the bride and groom, their wedding party, and the actual play that they will be treated to during the reception.

 

Here's just one page inside that lists the vendors for the wedding. What a fun way to recognize everyone who helped with your special event.

Again, this was a project that stepped outside my normal work, but I loved every minute of it. I got to create digitally instead of on paper and work with great vendors for the printing and assembly.

Custom Table Names and Menus for Broadway Style Wedding Reception

I showed you the fun and unique ticket style escort cards I created for my couple who were having a Broadway style wedding. Now, here's a peek at their menus and table names.

 

Each table name is from a Broadway production, with the exception of the head table. It's called Love and Laughter because that's the name of the wedding.

 

The names were printed and hand stamped with a fun alphabet in brown ink. The cardstock is a burnt orange color and feature a brown satin ribbon tag at the top of the name.

 

The menus feature the same alphabet stamp and a more elegant font by request of the bride a groom.

 

Just looking at this menu is making me hungry! The same burnt orange cardstock and brown ink were used to carry the theme throughout the reception.

 

If you have a need for custom reception items like table numbers, menus, or anything else, be sure to give Chic Ink a call.

 

Ticket Style Escort Cards for Broadway Themed Wedding Reception

When I got a call from Rayna of Exquiseete Weddings in New York about a client she was working with who was having a Broadway themed wedding, I was immediately excited. One of the items the bride and groom requested were escort cards in the shape of actual tickets. Each of their tables were named after Broadway productions and they wanted their guests to feel like they were immersed in the theater experience. They even named their wedding production "Love and Laughter". Two important items in every marriage!

 

The couple wanted to give away their centerpieces at the end of their reception, so they requested that a portion of the escort card tickets be "tear-away" like a real ticket.

 

The right portion of their custom ticket style escort cards are perforated so they can toss those pieces in a basket for the drawing.

 

Other fun features on these unique escort cards include a bar code with their wedding date, individual numbers for each guest, and a chocolate brown backing for the tickets to display on a table.

This project was a step outside my normal requests, but I am so glad I had the opportunity to complete it. If you have a unique or different wedding theme, don't hesitate to contact Chic Ink. We'd love to help!

Fun Poppy Orange and Aqua Blue Destination Wedding Invitation

I so wish I was in Jamaica right now. The weather in Seattle is quite dreary. Oh well, at least I have Jen's fun destination wedding invite to create! This fun poppy orange and aqua blue boarding pass invitation was created for Jen and Paul. A super-lucky couple who are tying the knot in Jamaica next spring.

 

The boarding pass invitation is wrapped in a vellum pocket, just like the real ones you get at the travel agent! I tied a matching ribbon around the outside and included a cute bottle cap embellishment to give it that fun beachy feel.
