Wedding Invitation Designs

Hey loves! How was the weekend? I really didn't do anything too special- just chilled in my PJ's and buried myself in design and blogging... story of my life? It must be, because here I am starting off the week continuing that theme- sharing a blog post about my designs! haha

I had a really wonderful experience recently designing the wedding invitations for one of my best friends. You might remember a post I did on her Save the Dates? We have the exact same taste so it was nice sitting down with her on our multiple coffee dates and coming up with ideas for her invitation design. She had a general vision of what she wanted, but I was able to help her narrow in on the specifics.

Watching every piece of this project come together was very exciting for me! In the end I think they came out so beautiful! What do you think?





I must say, seeing my designs in print form (I would imagine) is similar to holding your newborn baby for the first time... there is so much careful preparation and effort put into every single detail to make sure it turns out perfect, and the built up anxiety leaves you hoping they will turn out as wonderful as you imagined. Sure the delivery might not have been exactly as expected (such as the registry's tab being cut short without regard to my crop marks!), but oh my goodness- when you see them in all their glory, you realize they were soooo worth it! 

Allison & Chris,
You are going to have the most amazing wedding day,
and I can't wait to be there to support you!

  6. Kristen, these are beautiful! I often think my blog´s my baby too but thinking of this wedding as an adult-only event, I guess there won´t be many babies around anyways ;)

  8. I love them! I designed wedding invitations for my step sister. I really wanted to do something like you created but she wanted me to pretty much copy the picture she found exactly.
    Oh well, maybe someday I'll design some wedding invites like this! :)

  22. they turned out perfect! i made my wedding invites and my friends too and it does take a TON of time. and effort - i actually misprinted like 40 invites with the street name slightly wrong and had to re-cut them all.

  24. These are gorgeous! Brilliant idea on the corners also - so much more interesting than a ribbon tie at the top.
