I've been dying to show you our wedding invitations, and now that most of our guests have seen them, here they are!
If you remember, the stationery was one of those things that we decided from the beginning were very important to us. J is a designer so we always knew he'd design something for the occasion. I was in charge of the text and of course there were several discussions during the process on whether words or design are more important!
We started with the colour red and the idea to reflect the wedding venue. As we're getting married in a beautiful old castle we used the medieval theme throughout the invitations, with the stamp on the envelopes or the icon of a knight proposing to his lady (probably not very historically accurate, I know!). We also wanted the invitations to be fun and hopefully reflect that we want our day to be relaxed and not too formal.
We included a card with the basic details (what, who, when, where) and another one with information on getting there and accommodation. We also designed single postcards for our RSVPs. Finding a printers was the most difficult part. There isn't really that much out there for those who want to design everything from scratch and not use a template or buy designed ones, but luckily we found a good printers in Oxford that did the whole thing for us.
We are really happy by how they've turned out and it's been really good fun giving them to people. And that's one thing ticked off the list!
Lovely! Such a special design...such a special couple! xx
ReplyDeleteFantastic, totally your own invitation. Congratulations on one succesful part ticked off.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the other ones.

They look truly unique! And a medieval castle in Spain sounds quite special!
ReplyDeleteyou have a gorgeous wedding invitations card on your blog. Thanks for sharing with us and please keep it up.
ReplyDeleteB, these are such lovely invitations - I've been showing ours off and bragging that we're going to a wedding in a castle in Spain. Did you know the phrases "building castles in Spain" used to mean "daydreaming", sadly I don't think it's used much now but I saw it in an book, Good Wives, the sequel to Little Women I think. Excited for the wedding, hope we see you before that though

Me encantan, el diseño es impresionante y os ha quedado muy bonito. No sabía que te casabas en Salamanca!
ReplyDeletePor cierto, he estado de viaje y nos quedamos un día allí, es muy bonita y tiene mucha vitalidad...aunque quizás el astronauta eclipse la restauración de la catedral :)
Pues la verdad es q vi 2 días en París cuando la estrenaron en el cine, así que veré las otras dos que me ha dicho ibb.
Me encantan tus consejillos (¿de abuela? ¡yo creo que no!), además porque me hace muchísima gracia tu trabajo.
Por el momento tengo clarísimo que haré bellas artes y luego ya veremos.
Aisss muchisimas gracias por pasarte, como siempre te las doy, y por dejarme esos consejillos que para mí son muy valiosos.
Muchos besos
It seems so right that your invitations are red. I love the way they reflect your creativity, passion and partnership . . . a very good start!
ReplyDeleteI'm a recent college graduate who mere hours ago got a rejection email from a ticket taking position at a local theater. So things aren't going so well for me and the work I've be able to get after a year of searching has been free (internships and volunteering - which I've taken gratefully) and low (babysitting and house-cleaning - which I've also taken). I have long-term relationships with several local businesses who can't take me on, and a full, http://www.y8.fm relatively impressive resume with notable references
ReplyDelete(household names), but a year or so out, I'm able to see that my 3.8 B.A. http://www.friv.gs in political science isn't worth much. Maybe it shouldn't be worth very much. Anyway, stuck, I've been trying to think of what my next move should be after hundreds of failed applications. I have a list in front of me now: at the top there's reception work. http://www.y3.fm.
This is the reality for many college grads out there now; http://www.ben10.fm no new jobs were added to the U.S. economy in the last month. And I read your
posts about, essentially, Just Doing It, and I think, "Yeah! Just do it! That's what I'll do!" I've got the number for Merry Maids on my notebook
http://www.miniclip.fm, http://www.y8on.com, http://www.y3home.com
right in front of me. Where does that leave me in ten years? I'll tell you where: a Merry Maid. I wonder what kind of on-the-job training I get cleaning toilets... (You think I haven't tried hard enough, don't you?)Ok, so you think grad school is a really, really bad idea. When I first started reading these anti-grad school posts,
I was still in undergrad and I whole-heartily agreed (I don't know what I based this agreement on; I guess I had the idea that grad student = loser, forever student). Now these
http://www.y8online.com, http://www.pogo.gs, http://www.y8o8.com
arguments hit me as sort of ill-informed, and maybe all that is needed to fix that up is a distinction. From what I understand, there are different programs in grad school, it's not just
one program called "waste of money and time." http://www.kizi.ws http://www.y8america.com, creative writing, English. And there
are the scientific, technical, and healthcare-related
programs, http://www.y8xmas.com some of which are funded and include position-focused training and post-grad, structured employment.
