Let's See Invitations!

[NATASHA]

Karla, those are really beautiful.

 

Our friend is a designer. He helped us come up with this concept (they came out SO COOL that I can't wait to take a picture for you all).

 

We did passports. They look just like real passports. Inside, we even replicated the paper that they use. The cover has the eagle, but we put a champagne bottle in one talon and a glass in the other. Above the Eagle's head is a taco and below him it says, "In Tacos we Trust"

 

The inside picture area has a picture of us and a total spoof of every detail (even the bar scan is funny - it says PARTY<CABOSANLUCAS<<NATASHA<SHAWN<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

11<11<2006<<7H4NKY0U4C0M1N6<<L375P4R7Y!<<<<<<<<<<< 0YEAH).

 

Here's the copy that we used so you can get a taste for what it's like:

 

The Future Conahan Family of the United States of America hereby requests all whom it may concern to permit the wedding guest named herein to party without empty glass or hindrance and in case of need to give all lawful fete and libation.

 

La future famille de Conahan des Etats-Unis d'Amérique demande par ceci tous ce que elle peut concerner pour permettre l'invité de mariage appelé ci-dessus à la partie sans verre vide ou obstacle et en cas de besoin pour donner toutes les fête et libation légitimes.

 

La familia futura de Conahan de los Estados Unidos de América solicita por este medio todos a que pueda referirse para permitir a la huésped de la boda nombrada adjunto al partido sin el cristal vacío o el obstáculo y en caso de que de la necesidad de dar todo el fete y libation legales.

Then, on all the blank pages, we re-created stamps (just like when the countries stamp your passport but we printed them) with information about the wedding, getting there, renting a car, etc.

 

Oh - I have probably 50 extra covers in case anyone wants to replicate what we did. They are VERY cool - foil stamped. I have a PDF rendering of them, but I'll get photos soon.

Hey,
I think you'r talking about my posting in the old forum. I'm the one that posted the pics of the Barcelona samples I got.

I'm glad you still like them! I felt bad killing your happy mood when you found them!!

I was so bummed I didn't order the Barcelona menus and the table numbers. I really loved the design! So are the real invites with clean edges, etc?

Where did you get your invites Tammy? I am obsessed with tea length cards and love the bamboo accent.

Karla,

It's totally cool! And when they came they had the frayed edges but it fit our wedding. We are kind of going with an old world elegance theme so they looked old and worn so it was really cool and fit it with the wedding perfectly!

I'm still trying to come up with something similar I loved the design so much! I'm so glad they worked out for you! That site is such an inspiration, I love all their designs.

KarlaV, those are both SO pretty, but look very expensive.

 

Tammy, I loved your whole personalized theme - very cute!

Ok, here's my invitation. I loved the texture of the shells on the paper. We used 2 fonts to make it easier to read. My invitations were a family affair. My sister did the calligraphy. My brother designed the map. I designed the information card. My best friend and I created the rehearsal dinner inviitations and stuffed envelopes. It was a group effort to get all 100 invitations out the door.
