Shhhh….It’s a Surprise!

It has been a busy month in the FM2Y studio! Here are two surprise birthday party invitations that will surely shock these birthday men! This 4x9 black vinyl folded invitation sets the tone for a sleek, stylish night on the town. The front panel is accessorized with double layered cardstock that displays the honoree’s name and initials.

Once opened the handsome metallic Jupiter invitation is matted on metallic textured linen cardstock. The invitation is accompanied by a matching 4x5 metallic textured linen double sided RSVP postcard for guest to return! All enclosed in a 4x9 metallic Jupiter mailing envelope.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This 5x7 triple layered invitation is sure to announce any royal event. The top layer resembles 24kt gold with its shinny metallic luster. The age of the honoree and the surrounding quote gives this invitation a personal touch that is sure to make anyone feel extremely special.

To add a dramatic touch, the invitation is then matted on a black layer to coordinate with the printing and fonts. The last layer is a double side pattern cardstock that displays a royal metallic purple on one side and a gold and purple damask print on the reverse. A 3.5x5 insert card of double layered metallics displayed the special menu that will be prepared for this grand event. The invitation suite was then enclosed in a 5x7 antique gold mailing envelope.

Labor of Love: A Labor Day Weekend full of Weddings!

I recently had the honor of designing two beautiful wedding invitations for two brides who will be marrying the loves of their lives on Labor Day Weekend. Today and next week, I will introduce you to the brides and their fiancés.

Labor of Love Couple #1:

Onika Jones and Richard Williams

September 4, 2010

Pine Bluff, Arkansas

Onika Jones approached me in late 2009, wanting FM2Y Creations to create her entire line of wedding stationery. Our first item on the list was…SAVE THE DATES. Wanting something classy and affective to go out at the first of the year (due to the wedding being on a holiday weekend), Onika and Richard decided on a chic, yet simple magnet Save the Date that highlighted their purple and brown color scheme. The Save the Dates were attached to a insert card that displayed the accommodation and website information for guest.

After researching several invitation formats and styles, Onika approached me with a list of items she would like revealed in her custom invitations….ribbon, vellum, a monogram, and some kind of layering effect, while creating a unforgettable ambiance of the couples theme “Real Dreams Come True.” After a few hours of brainstorming, Onika and I stumbled across the 2009 Christmas card that I created for all of my past customers. As soon as we had one glimpse of it, we knew that with a little tweaking here and a little redesign there…we had a MASTERPEICE!

A two layered metallic invitation, with an attached metallic vellum overlay that would display a beautiful “W” monogram, enclosed and perfected with a chocolate bowed ribbon. All items from Onika’s list were covered! The invitations would be complimented with lilac accommodation, direction, and information cards. Onika wanted to ensure that she would be able to read the names of the individuals who RSVPed, so I created personalized RSVP postcards with each invitee’s name. Each invitation was securely mailed in a metallic lilac envelope that was further enhanced with a metallic chocolate envelope liner.

Until next week...... Designing Memories with Style, Tracy
