So, it’s been a while since the last “My Wedding” post, but with the recent mailing of our invitations, I wanted to share the design the Pilot and I came up with after months of tweaking and re-designing.
Our invitations were one serious labor of love. I re-designed them multiple times, a little more satisfied with the design with each revision. And, with a welcomed epiphany earlier this year, we settled on a final design. One that was art deco enough for us both, but still minimalistic.
We took somewhat of a different approach with our invites – opting to go a tad less formal with the wording. I love the formality of a wedding, but our wedding is no black-tie affair. For one, my parents like to go by their first names, and for the most part, The Pilot’s do as well. No “Mr. and Mrs. Pilot” in this family. And, because both parents so generously split the cost of the wedding, we made sure to include them both. And, my favorite part? They are red. A bold and gorgeous shade of red.
In sticking with our eco-friendly goal, we printed front and back. Using the back of the main invitation to include the reception details / times / address. As for the design, I mirrored the front and reversed the colors, using red for the text on this side.
Second best part? 100% Recycled Cardstock. Score.
