Destination Welcome Bags

Jordan and Ryan put together welcome bags for each of their guests traveling to the Dominican Republic. Each bag included a letter from the couple thanking guests for coming and included details for nightly events. Other items included custom lip balm, aspirin, sunblock, antacids, candy, snacks and Dominican Republic postcards for guests to send back to friends at home. Super cute!

Destination Wedding Invitation: Jordan & Ryan

I absolutely love how Jordan and Ryan's destination wedding invitations turned out! The full suite embodied the couple's vision of a sophisticated beach celebration. For the design, I started with the postage stamp element I created for Jordan's bridal shower invitations. This design element created a sense of consistency across communications and was the perfect vehicle to house their names, wedding date and location on all wedding pieces. The 5x7 invitation card featured an illustration of the Dominican Republic island. A star marked their wedding location in Punta Cana. The 2-sided RSVP postcard was probably my favorite piece. The front showcased an overhead photograph of their resort - Paradisus Punta Cana - which I treated with a painterly effect for a more graphic look. The back of the postcard housed the couple's return address as well as a reply section for guests. The shimmery silver envelopes tied all of the components together and featured the postage stamp design too.

Beachy Bridal Shower Invitation

I'm so excited to share Jordan's "beachy" bridal shower invitation with you today. I designed these earlier in the year and had so much fun creating them. The cards were printed digitally on 14pt card stock with rounded corners. Each 5x7 inch card was finished off with a Keg Design logo on the back and accompanied by a silver A7 envelope. I added a little "sparkle" to the cards by using a transparent craft glue to affix glitter to the white coral motif in the upper right corner. I did all the calligraphy on the envelopes too. Jordan's wedding was last month in the Dominican Republic - hence the "beachy" theme. We used the postmark-destination logo throughout all of her wedding paper designs. Her wedding was beautiful - I can't wait to share more photos & details with you soon.

Mexico Bound

Hooray! One of my dear friends recently got engaged and asked me to stand up in her wedding. She's clearly on the top of her game, as the invitation came cleverly disguised as a luggage tag. Jordan and Ryan are planning on tying the knot in Mexico next year. I'm so happy for them, and I'm so excited to be a part of their special day. I guess this marks #3 for me in terms of bridesmaid duties. I love standing up in weddings, I really do. Maybe it's because I haven't done it 27 times, or because I have the coolest friends ever. Either way, I wanted to share this super cute idea with you. She ordered the custom luggage tags from Shutterfly.

If you didn't already guess...that's Jordan and I at my bachelorette party. Love it!
