Esplin Godfrey Wedding Invitation

August 19, 2011
Here's the wedding invitation I designed for my brother-in-law & his new wife. They were both so easy to work with! I think Rebecca might have picked the easiest wedding colors to work with ever: steel blue & a subdued kelly green. Not the colors I would've chosen, but they were absolutely beautiful. Yesterday at the reception all of the family members wore boutonnieres made from wild flowers & rosemary. They smelled amazing & were so adorable. Next time I put on a fancy party, I'm TOTALLY going to decorate with herbs. Rebecca wanted something simple and traditional with some handmade touches. I designed some simple scrolling, hand-lettered their names & set the text with a go-to font of mine: Glypha. Rebecca & Scott liked this picture, but it didn't make the final cut to be in the invite, so we opted to incorporate this pic in the thank you postcard. I've mentioned this before: thank you post cards are the SHIZZZZ. They're simple, take little organization to send out (no envelopes, etc) & require very little postage. It makes sending out a thank you SO easy - that it actually happens. I like using a picture with the thank you card, it puts those wedding/engagement photos to use.
