This is was what I secretly (ok, not so secretly) wanted to do to my computer...
Typically I get along quite well with my computer, well until I decided to design my own wedding invites. All ended well but many many hours in front of my computer and many many late nights put a serious damper on our relationship.
I am happy with how they turned out in the end and I was even able to utilize one of my favourite folds thus avoiding the need for a million and one separate inserts. Just the invite and the RSVP card. Taa Daa!
We wanted something quirky so we decided to get the talented Ashley from Birds of Ashmae to do some custom artwork for us of both the Church we will be getting married in and the Waterfront area where we will be having our reception.
We also loved the crazy water colour portraits from Zsu Zsu Illustrations so much that we decided to use them again on our invites.
Really a labour of love - this is especially true when I feel like I did a gazillion sample print jobs with the print shop.
We spent so much time designing the invite, it would be a shame not to carry the entire theme throughout the whole product - leading to us design and order custom stamps from Canada Post. Surprisingly - custom stamps do not cost a whole lot more than your regular old run of the mill stamps. This allowed me to showcase some of the Polaroid photography I recently did of the Port Credit Waterfront.
