JESS | BRIDAL SHOWER INVITATION

We can finally share this darling Bridal Shower invitation with you!  It was a surprise shower, so we had to keep these photos on the DL for months...which is SO hard to do, lol!  The Matron of Honor to one of our most recent brides (see her beach inspired suite here)  reached out to us and asked that we create an invitation for her surprise bridal shower brunch and we were more than happy to help out!

Now, lets face it - as much as we love gold foiling, it can get very expensive.  There are numerous costs associated with foiling, and for a project that only requires a handful of invitations, it may not be worth the expense.  So!  With that said, we used a "faux-foil" technique for these cards and hand lettered the word "brunch" with a metallic gold paint pen on each invitation.  It gives that shiny, metallic look for a fraction of the cost.

We loved working on this little suite and hope you enjoy it as well!

JESS & MIKE | WEDDING INVITATION SUITE

Jess & Mike are getting married this fall in Rehoboth Beach, DE.  Jess wanted to keep her, what we have dubbed "Pacific Blue", color theme in mind throughout all of her stationery.  And she didn't want anything to feel too overly "beachy".  If you'll recall, we created their Save The Dates just a few months ago with all of this information in mind.  We kept that theme rolling with their invitation suite.  So many charming details went into this suite - the gold foil, the hand drawn illustration of the blowing beach grass, the hand water colored map of the days events, the hand torn edges on every card and the package all tied together with gold rope and a gold wax seal.  All of these details made for one gorgeous suite.  It is light, airy, elegant, beachy (but not too beachy!), and most importantly, completely unique.

In my opinion - these photos don't do it justice.  I hope you get to see it in real life one day!

Pro Tip: we used metallic gold hot glue sticks instead of sealing wax for this suite.  Why?  For a few reasons, but the most important being that sealing wax is very brittle and can break easily, especially when the USPS is involved.  Also, we didn't want the wax to rub off any color on the RSVP card below.  So, we used hot glue sticks instead and it worked like a charm!
