Custom wedding invitations *sample designs

Below are some new sample designs I’ve been working on for my 2010 wedding clients!

{based on cara's design} 2 & 3-layer square w/ribbon

The design process begins after each client picks their favorite Papercake “design” from our website or tells me their ideas for a new customized design. They also provide their event colors + any other important details; ribbon size, monogram, illustration, etc.  It also helps when I receive the event wording + font picks, so the samples I put together are more personalized for each couple.

LEFT {brand new design} 3-layer textured invitation card w/branch illustration. RIGHT {based on molly's design} square, handmade paper options, full wrap w/2 tiffany blue ribbons

I usually send a few samples using different papers, ribbons, etc… all details can be mixed & matched to create a final invitation look which will be carried on throughout the reception stationery!

(based on nhaman's design} booklet invite w/printed name band, monogram provided by the client!

{based on erin's invite} single or 2-layer card w/handmade paper belly band options & ribbons

I love that they are all so very different! Which one is your favorite design, and what color/paper combo would you choose?
