KATE AND STEVE'S SAVE THE DATES

Kate contacted me looking for a way to incorporate her engagement photo into her save the dates. After talking with her and realizing that most of her guest list is out out town, I recommended a pocketfold with an accommodations card and using her engagement photo as a tag to close the piece. Kate wanted very traditional and classic save the dates and invitations and mentioned that her parents have their own wedding invitations framed and displayed in their home. One of the philosopshy's behind Just Ink On Paper is creating invitations that will stand the test of time. A design that when looked back on in 30 years, will still hold up. So I was right on board with Kate's classic taste.

We decided to create a very soft feel for her save the dates, a metallic snow white pocketfold with a hint of pale pink. Just to add a touch of the unexpected, I designed her card with a very light Peony in the background to add a sense of whismy. Kate was an absolute pleasure to work with, in fact that hardest part was deciding which engagement photo to use, all were equally gorgeous. Invitations for her August wedding to come soon...
