Very personal Wedding Invitations

So they have been a while coming, but here are our wedding invitations. As with all of the inputs to our wedding, the invitations were a real labour of love! We wanted all our guests to be given a taster of what our day was about, what was important to us, and hopefully generate a little bit of anticipation for the big day!

The invitation sets were made up of a number of elements including: the wedding invitation, postcard style RSVP card, a keepsake map of the local area, and finally a little booklet with information about the weekend of the wedding and things to do in the area. The map was placed inside a glassine bag and secured with washi tape, the booklet was sewn together using gold thread and finished off with 2 little tags, one had an icon from the wedding and the other the guest’s name/s.

The inspiration for the invitations was simple really, it was… us and our wedding! We designed a number of images and emblems that held strong meanings for us and our families as well as features from the local area and incorporated them with the print we designed for the bridesmaids dresses (see here for more information on our bridesmaids dresses). Paul was heavily involved in the design process and drew a number of the elements and emblems as well as helping pull them altogether. There was so much meaning and thought put into their design, that when they were finished they weren’t just invitations, they had evolved to become a little story of us and our wedding.

Here’s a little flick through of the wedding invitation booklet…
