We finalized Nhaman & Jeremey’s wedding invitation package a few weeks ago!!
So… of course I wanted to post a quick design update of the final booklet package:
Nhaman & Jeremy's Wedding Invitation Package
They both helped to find a replacement handmade paper from a store in Santa Monica called Hiromi Paper (they loved it as much as the previous discontinued paper -yeah!). We also changed the embellishment to a dried Tapestry millet, which we ordered from Save-On-Crafts! I added a 3rd layer of brown textured paper to the belly band for additional thickness & for contrast. It really helps their name band with custom monogram pop! (we also changed the direction of the names on the band, shown below):
custom name band
RSVP card; part of monogram shown as a detailed icon
I also put together their announcement using the same design {paper, monogram, etc…} but we only used 2-layers of paper instead of a folded booklet.

Gorgeous!!! Where did you get the embellishment (is it a berry?) from?

yes, a tallow berry embellishment from Save-On-Crafts
also found at:
FYI you’ll need a large padded envelope or box if mailing these w/invites (inner & outer envelopes were sent as a test and the berry’s were crushed!) so we switched to the dried Tapestry millet

I wish more people would write sites like this that are actually interesting to read. With all the crap floating around on the net, it is rare to read a site like yours instead.
