My parents decided, after we've received so many yes RSVPs from out of town guests, that they wanted to host a brunch on the day after the wedding. Many of these family members and friends, from both sides of my family, will not be in the same place all at once in a long time, if ever, so Dad H took it upon himself to plan the whole shindig. I took this as a chance for me to create more paper goodness for the wedding.
While I'm not as talented as many of our other Bees, I still love to create invitations, so I set off to iStockphoto to find some cute graphics and my idea was born. It went from wedding type pics to pears - the perfect pair to be exact!
I took bits and pieces of the image, change the font, and voila - an invite was done!I wanted something cute for the wording, so I Googled, found and edited the following:
On Sunday afternoondon’t pack and run
stay around longer
for a bit more fun
have some food and drink
before you start your day,
and help us toast
Stephanie and Ulises
before they are on their way!
I decided to take the pear image and create envelope labels, mainly because I've been dying to try them since I saw Miss Pom's envelope labels. I created everything in Illustrator and used the Xyron with permanent adhesive to stick the labels to the envelopes (which are Paper Source #10 Moss envelopes). The font is Freebooter script, which can be found on dafont.com.
I'm super happy with the end product (sorry the pics aren't so hot, photography is not my strong suit). Have many of you found new hobbies/creativeness from your wedding planning?
