A couple of months ago, I had the pleasure of designing some really fun invitations for a very special person– my sweet cousin Missye!
Missye is getting married THIS weekend in DC, which we are SO excited about, and the fact that I got to be a part of one of her showers by way of invitation design was just so fun and meaningful for me!
The theme of the shower was travel, so Missye’s sister Amanda and I bounced ideas back and forth until we decided upon anchors and blue + gold +white as our invitation theme!
I programmed the hand-drawn anchor into my cutting program and got the blue anchors cut. Then I hand painted some paper to be a soft gold and programmed a slightly larger anchor to be cut out of that paper upon which to mount the blue anchor!
I then designed the actual paper invitations and had them printed locally by my sweet friend Jessica!
I then hand-finished the edges with a skinny gold line and applied the anchor to each of the 30 invitations.
It was a process, but I love how they turned out, and more importantly, my cousins loved how they turned out!
I can’t wait to hear the details of the shower this weekend when I get to visit with Missye and Amanda! I know it must’ve been a blast! 🙂
