This was one of the more fun bridal shower themes I’ve heard of to date. Carrie grew up playing Scrabble, so the ladies who threw her shower thought it only appropriate to go along with her idea for a theme. They were even able to procure a bunch of Scrabble boards from garage sales to use as decor at the shower… the tiles played a role throughout, and we even printed 3×3″ squares with letters on them to send with the invitations. The idea was each guest was supposed to bring a gift off Carrie’s registry that began with that letter of the alphabet.

Jessie and Joe’s wedding had an orange and silver theme, but Joe’s mom decided to lend a totally different feel to their rehearsal dinner invitation. The rehearsal was to be held at the Springfield Country Club, and we created a green and pale gold invitation with a modern leaf graphic entwined into the background layer.

This was an entertaining way to get Angela’s guests involved in providing a fun keepsake for the couple after their Big Day. Angela came to me with this incredibly fun idea- Wedding Guest Libs- into which we easily incorporated her wedding colors of turquoise and mocha. We used the turquoise as a color pop on a crisp white background. Angela’s invitations were from Checkerboard and she had several custom projects she asked us to do to coordinate with that look. Angela felt strongly that her wedding needed to be fun and reflect her and Bill’s personalities, so the Guest Libs idea was perfect because it engaged her guests and gave them something interactive and fun to do at their tables, while providing amusing anecdotes for the couple to read after the festivities were over.

The rehearsal dinner is an important part of the wedding weekend and as such, should have its own invitation to coordinate with the look and feel of the rehearsal dinner venue. Melisa and Michael’s dinner was to be held at C’est Tout, a French bistro in Oakwood that uses a lot of yellow in their French country decor. The mustard yellow in this eclectic pattern was a perfect way to tie in the colors of the restaurant with the overall feel of the event and the style of the couple. Melisa and Michael also opted to use large 12×12 sheets of the yellow patterned card stock as chargers at the place settings that evening, and we did menus to coordinate.

Oh La La! Before her Chateau Elan wedding in Georgia, Courtney’s friends and family threw her a French-themed bridal shower. We wanted to go ultra feminine with the invitations so we used a vintage damask black and white portable pocket with a brocade pattern, as well as a black chandelier graphic that was designed to sit at the top of the invitation so it would be seen while the insert was still in the pocket. We printed the French-English verbiage onto a tourmaline metallic card, mounted it onto a black backing and voila- c’est magnifique!
