Cristina & David get exactly what they were looking for...

I met with Cristina and her entourage of bridesmaids it didn't take long for her to pinpoint exactly what she wanted. Her wedding will be at the Pfister during 2010 and she wanted a classy & elegant design to match their wedding.

We added in hints of a muted green that will match the color of her bridesmaids dresses and there we had it! Wrapping the invitations with a printed vellum will give them that extra special touch!

Beth & Nic's wedding suite worked out perfectly...

Beth and Nic were married two years ago and just had their reception this past weekend. The wedding was on halloween at the ICC and costumes were optional. They worked with me to create this very fun design showcasing the Milwaukee skyline in brown, purple and orange.
They also purchased matching programs, escort cards, thank yous, bachelorette party invites, and a card box shaped like one of the buildings in their invitation.

Heather & Chris mail out their invitations on time...

Heather and Chris came to me with a design they liked on a popular discount website. They liked the look of it but wanted me to put my twist on it.
They went with 5x5 Envelopments Signature Side Pocketfolds in metallic bronze. There is a layer of metallic envy paper and then another layer of the bronze under the invitation itself.
This couple needed an accommodation card, one for directions, and then an RSVP postcard.
They wanted to use the same bronze for the envelopes so we created a return address label that would enable them to write on that with a brown pen (my advice is to get a fine point Sharpie from your favorite office supply store. They come in EVERY color now.) Lastly the invitation was finished off with a 2 inch wide wrap with their logo.

Why do some wedding invitations have tissue in between them?

This practice dates back to a time with a much different printing process. Ink is different than it used to be so a common practice was to put a layer of tissue over your printed area in order to avoid smudging on another part of your invitation.

These days inks dry fast and don't smudge so the tissue is no longer necessary. Some people prefer tissue in their wedding invitation to keep with a traditional feel.

Its completely up to you!
