Why not have a little fun with your save the dates? There's no reason why you shouldn't "treat" your guests to a little "taste" of what to expect at your wedding. I designed this save the date for Emily and Robbie (a fabulous chef). they are actually going to have smores for their guests during their wedding weekend at the Ritz Carlton in Bachelor Gulch!

bachelorette wine bottles

2009-06-29T07:26:00.000-07:00

I've done wine bottle invitations in the past, so when a friend asked me to do custom bachelorette party wine bottles....I was on it! Each girl got a bottle of wine as a favor to remember to special occasion.
The girls sent me this cool black and white photo of the wine in their hotel room. The wine was a white zin, and the custom label has "M" for Michelle, "Drink and be Married".
Michelle is getting married in beautiful wine country....so it went along with the theme.
I can make custom wine bottles naughty or nice!

scented invitations

2009-06-18T08:48:00.000-07:00

Make your invitations appeal to all the senses may adding fragrance to your stationary.
In the photo below, the bride was having a fall wedding so we made it smell like caramel and cinnamon. Do unique scents like orange, chocolate, grass, wood, evergreen, sun block (if your having a beach party!!). The possibilities are endless.

Their events are spectacular and no detail is overlooked. They have worked on many published celebrity events that are nothing short of perfection.

Pauline just came out with an incredible book, FOOD, FUN & LOVE. Pick up a copy, the recipes and ideas are so unique and mouth watering.

I worked with Charley on Kris Katan and Sunshine Tutt's wedding invitations in Yosemite CA. I got to see the album at our meeting yesterday, and Good Gracious! Events did such an amazing job.

fall is in the air

2008-11-13T15:05:00.000-08:00

I LOVE this invitation. It captures the essence of autumn, my favorite season of all. Casey's wedding took place outdoors amongst colorful trees and crisp fall air.
The invitation got her guests excited about an autumn/chic wedding with the faux leaves and warm colors. I scented it with the scent of cloves and cinnamon. Pumpkins were a common thread in the invitation as well as the event. She had huge pumpkins holding hot cider for her guests to enjoy, how fun!

in the spirit of winter (and the GOP VP pick!)

2008-11-13T15:00:00.000-08:00

Shawana, my adventurous bride contacted me from Alaska! Her wedding took place amongst gorgeous trees, snow, and mountains. Being a die-hard rock climber, she wanted those elements incorporated along with an outdoorsy feel. The invitation captured the smell of fresh pine due to the sprig that was placed over the invitation.

baby gustafson

2008-11-13T14:37:00.000-08:00

Casey Gustafson, one of my dearest friends, became a new mommy! She asked me to do her baby announcements, of course I couldn't resist.
We had decided to do something different that captured the cute details we all love about babies.
There were 3 panels that each had a different photo of Zane. Each panel had a different pattern on the back. All the panels were held together by a blue paper strap that said Z, baby #1. The announcement was mailed is a clear, vellum envelope. So cute!!
