Invitation: Sweet 15 (Quincenaera)

Vanessa is celebrating her Quincenaera, or Sweet 15th Birthday, later this month in Mexico. A quincenaera is similar to a Sweet 16th Birthday here in the states. The biggest difference is that before the celebration there is a Thanksgiving Mass.

Vanessa asked for zebra print and pink to be incorporated into the design of her invitations. With that in mind, I came up with this girly design using a blue zebra stripe and a fresh young font for the birthday girl's name. The invitations were printed on a pearlescent white card stock and mailed out in pink envelopes.

Vintage Woodland Wedding: Invitation

Invites give your guests the first glimpse at your wedding style. These romantic, vintage, and woodsy invites were perfect for our small wedding at Krippendorf Lodge in Rowe Woods.  The combination of paper and fabric made quite an impact on our guests.

The overall theme for the wedding was a combination of vintage and woodland styles. The color palette was loosely based on robin's egg blue, blush pink, ivory, and brown. The kraft paper invites were screen printed with white ink. Then wrapped with either a blue or pink floral fabric to match the color palette.

Each reply card had a web address printed on it for guests to get more information on the wedding and RSVP.  It was tied around each invite with a coordinating ribbon.
