I have been thinking about the design of our wedding invites for quite awhile, but yesterday I started playing around in Photoshop. Above are my first drafts for the front (left) and back (right) of our wedding invitations. They will be 5×7 and tucked into gray A7 envelopes. The back will be professionally printed on glossy cardstock and the front I will probably print at home on cream Arturo paper. I will adhere both pieces together back to back and probably round the corners. In case you are curious, here are our save the dates that were sent out in September. I may or may not use that same flower liner paper.
I had a chance to share the plan with Paul and he was positive. That's good news as he is surprisingly opinionated about things like paper (though he has come around nicely on things like orange). But I still have about 2 months until I need to get these finalized and begin production so I might make some adjustments. It is so interesting how ideas grow. What I thought I would do is turning
out very different from what I will probably end up doing. I love the evolution process.
And last night I could not sleep thinking of ideas for the programs. It appears I am running out of paper products to design.
enJOY it
