Design your own wedding invitation, directions card and rsvp card!

Designed by Scott Palmer

We wanted our wedding invitation to look different from the standard. After all, our wedding was to be in a barn, so would it really make sense to have fancy embossed frilly script fonts with lacy trim? We thought not. So S set out to design a more kitschy and whimsical style invite that felt more like our personality.

It ended up being a 3 card set, printed dual-sided on 100# recycled cardstock along with a self-mailing reply card. (no tiny envelopes to address!!)

Since Husband is an amazing designer, he would be designing our invites. We started out brainstorming ideas for a theme and color scheme. Coming up with the barn idea was easy since that was the whole theme of the wedding. After testing out different shades of blue, we settled on this teal for most of the text and back of the cards. After that, the design came together rather seamlessly. We both agreed we loved the detail of the little bird holding the love sign on the back which later translated into our decor for the barn!

All the printing was done locally on recycled paper with soy based inks.

Make your wedding crafty!

The days, weeks, and months leading up to the wedding were filled with tasks and to-do lists. However, one of the more fun and (sometimes) stress-free tasks was crafting with our friends! Being that Husband and I both have such wonderful and gracious friends, it usually didn't take more than a bottle of wine to coax them into trading in their friday nights for origami/wedding night with us!

Come wedding day, walking into the barn and seeing all the hard work and love that went into all these little details made both of us feel so lucky to have such an amazing community of people who love and support us.
