Here are the wedding invitations I designed for Briavael O'Reilly and Nicole Pashka. They wanted the invites to look like carnival tickets, so I drew from my extensive collection of vintage woodtype fonts to create something with a fun old-time feel. The final invitations were 9" x 4", designed to fit into standard envelopes to keep costs down, while still looking like a ticket. I suggested using string-tied policy envelopes, with the flap on the short side, to add some extra flair for mailing.

Date: 2011-10-13 11:26 pm (UTC)My mother's wedding invitation were the old-school text printed on the front of a card-that-opens but the card is blank on the inside (I do not understand this AT ALL), no decorations, millions of extra envelopes. The first set of invitations I picked out had subtle Cthulhu tentacles around the corners. Poor mom! She was as easy-going as she could handle, and there weren't any real arguments.
