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.

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.
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.
