Invite Dabbling…pt 2

February 6, 2012

Before I continue, I need to revisit a few old posts and make clarifications.
I wrote a post about building the wedding website (here & here), which was a major headache!!! But I knew in order to customize the website to my needs/look I needed to build it myself. One of the main reasons it was important for me to have the website was for RSVPs (I will show you how it looked in another post).
Why?
•                I could save on postage and paper.
•                I didn’t want cards being mailed back to me. 
•                It was easier to track and keep a guest list
•                I didn’t have to guess who was having what for their meal (I customized the site in a manner where all that information would be listed in a spreadsheet, thank you Google!)
My mother stated I couldn’t do it in that manner because not everyone had a computer or was familiar with it. My response everyone knows someone that has access to a computer 🙂 issue solved!!
Now you understand why I was giving myself a headache over the website, it wasn’t only for informational purposes or for people to leave well wishes; it had a bigger purpose.
Moving on back to the invitations, from the last post I showed pictures of the first draft and how it still did not fit my vision. Back to the drawing board and thinking of a way it would incorporate the theme and this was the end result:


With a pocket behind the invitation, I had 3 inserts (RSVP information, directions & hotel accommodations) that looked like mini-boarding passes.
Travel theme was on its way!!

Invite dabbling…pt 1

January 23, 2012

It’s a given that the wedding invitation sets the tone for what guests should expect, with that in mind I browsed on different ideas of what I wanted to include on the invitation and the look of it. We both agreed black-tie formal didn’t fit our personalities, we wanted a semi-formal fun event.


First we decided on wording for the invitations, which was harder to decide upon than we thought.


Runner-up:

                              Life is not measured
                          by the number of breaths
                       we take, but by moments that
                             take our breath away
                        Mr. and Mrs. Max St.Fleur
                             ask you to join them
                              as their daughter
                              Makerbie St.Fleur
                       gives her hand in marriage
                                           to
                                Joshua Rema

                      Son of Ms. Carmeline Rema
                                  (date & time)
                                     (location)
                                    (address)

Loved it but a little too formal!

Winner:
You work, you play
and then one day…
love just happens!
Makerbie St.Fleur
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Max St.Fleur
and
Joshua Rema
son of Ms. Carmeline Rema
invite you to be a witness
to one of life’s loveliest
surprises
                                       as they are joined together in                                      
matrimony
on (date & time)
at (time)
(location & address)





By this point, I already had an idea as to how I wanted the invitation to look. But a vision doesn’t always turn out the same during the execution phase however, I still dabbled with the different ideas I had.


I looked for pictures that I thought would fit with the theme, because I felt water-marking an image in the background would sort of set the tone.

I really loved image #5 but it didn’t look to good behind the text. I ended up using image #1 on the website and image #2 on the card.

Here is a sample of the drafts for the inserts:





I felt something was still missing, the damask was pretty but not part of the theme. In next post I will go into further details, then it will be the invitation reveal.

Blindsided

This year started off with a blessing as I birthed my precious third baby. Two months later I find myself hospitalized for sickle cell crisis not once but twice. I never deemed myself a sickle cell warrior as I grew up watching my other sisters deal with this disease a lot worse than I ever […]

Fear in Vulnerability

I recently shared on instagram some personal trials. I stated it was a long, vulnerable transparent post; which it was! I originally came on here (the blog) to paste the post so it could be available on most of my platforms but I was inclined to post about fear in vulnerability instead.  I contemplated for […]
