Hollie and William's Pink and Mint Gate Cards

So, I'm participating in the Novi Bridal Expo next weekend. Because of this, a large portion of my time has been taken up preparing for that (it's my first bridal show!). So, will you forgive me for the lack of writing that has been in my blog posts lately? I'm convinced that people just want to see a pretty invitation, so that's what I'm gonna give you today. I want to cry because I love Hollie and William's invitation so much.

I've been doing more and more gate cards lately.

You know, cards that open up like this.

(hello!)

And here's the really exciting part - these gate cards contain a very special new font. 

Ladies and gentlemen (do any gentlemen even read this blog?), I present to you my new script font, Bombshell Pro.

It is such a sweet font - perfect in light pink.

The block font is Neo Retro Fill (also new AND free :)).

So, there you have it. Hollie and William's pink and mint gate card. This invite, along with so many more, will  be on display at the Novi Bridal Expo next Saturday and Sunday (the PERFECT V-Day date :)). Stop by and see us!

Colleen and Maxwell's Mint and Pink Gate Cards

Today I'm so excited to show you something I don't get to show very often - Envelopment's beautiful gate cards.  I'm an admirer of these gate cards, and Colleen and Max picked out one in mint, which makes it even better.

Here's what guests see when they pull these cards out of their envelopes.

And here's what they see when they open the card.

First, we have the invitation. I love that the invitation is backed with a dark green and gold, even though the rest of their colors are light. It adds a lot of depth to the invitation.

Colleen and Max wanted a formal feel to their invitations with a modern twist. We thought that the gate card took care of the modern twist, and the script fonts and beautiful papers showed off the formal side of their wedding.

Easily one of my favorite fonts of the year - Adios Script Pro - was used as the script font. Novencento  Wide was used for the block font.

The invitation came with two inserts - an RSVP card and a reception card.

Here are all three pieces together.

Loving these gate cards, loving the fonts, and loving that mint is still going strong as a color choice for weddings in 2014. :) 

Trisha and Dave's Detroit Themed Wedding Invitations

Now that Trisha and Dave's Save the Dates are out and the shower's been thrown, it's time for the invitations. 

Trisha decided to use gate cards for her invitations, which means this is what her guests saw when they opened the envelope (can we just pause to admire the lovely coral color of the envelopes, by the way?): 

A sneak peak at the invitation...

And here they are...

(I feel like the invitation's arms are open wide and there should be a heavenly "ahhhhhhhhh" that accompanies this picture.)

We used a new font, Bebas, for the entire invite.

And it's printed on the same map we used for Trisha's business calling cards.

I know I say this about every bride, but I truly love Trish's style. :) Can't wait to see what she has in mind for the wedding extras for the big day!
