A while back I posted an image of Parker Papelbon’s christening invitation, and now I’m finally able to post the main course – her birth announcement. Parker’s sweet parents, Jonathan and Ashley, asked for something gold & pink, something angelic and sugary sweet. We inserted a photo of Parker that their family and friends can remove and keep.
Today’s piece came off the press yesterday! I designed this piece for Alisha Clark and Luke Walker, a couple of SUPER talented wedding photographers who are getting married in New York this coming June. She wanted to try mix and matching vintage handkerchiefs instead of using new hankies, so every guest will receive something unique in the mail! I think the imperfections, tears, and little stains make these heirloom pieces just… perfect! Thanks for the great photos, Alisha! 🙂
You’ll be seeing more of this couple whose wedding is coming up in May! Today I’m posting an idea I had for their save-the-date. The gorgeous photo is by Wiljax Photographic Design
I just completed a little pocket guide book that will go in all of the out-of-town guests’ welcome baskets. Inside are recommendations for the bride and groom’s favorite restaurants, shops, and attractions in their home town. Also, I just finished up the place cards for the train depot rehearsal dinner!
Newborn Parker’s parents contacted me about a christening invitation and birth announcement (coming soon!) and I could only think of pink, purple and gold. You might recognize little miss Papelbon’s name — her proud papa is the closer for the Boston Red Sox. Just imagine how fun a baseball themed baby boy announcement would have been!
I just finished a letterpress stationery suite for the Robinson sisters, Lindsey and Kelsey. I only wish you could see the lovely nuances of the printing!
Because this dinner is being held in the historic Laurel Train Depot, the bride wanted something train themed for the invitation. I designed a train boarding pass for all guests that would incorporate the nostalgia of the building into the invitation. The month and day will be hole punched, and the PM beside 7:00 circled with a red pen to give it authenticity. I also added a scan of the finished envelope (after mailing).
I’m excited about the possibilities for type for this letterpress suite. The bride is looking for something formal and eccentric.
The invitation to our ultra-casual rehearsal dinner at Taylor Grocery. I used a fantastic new filter from Mr. Retro to give them a hand-printed look.
