Save the Date Tickets

I created a pair of tickets for our Theater Wedding using Photoshop. The pictures are all non-prop pics from our first visit to the venue. I used shimmery light gold paper from Office Max and printed the whole project for 150 sets of tickets for $65 (including paper, printing and cutting). Then I found heart shaped paper brads so the tickets will swivel to reveal the details of the STD. My mom also found "perfect pair" ribbon that we incorporated at the top of the ticket. Love the way they turned out! It really took months of figuring out photoshop to make this work!

Bridesmaid Newsletter

Picture
There are many weddings within our close group of friends in 2010. I put this together using some elements of the newsletter templates on Mac Microsoft Word.  The ladies of the bridal party were requesting a go-to document that all the dates are laid out for them so they can keep track of obligations for the year. I am not sure if more will be created, but I at least sent out this one with the basics.

Door Hanger (for hotel gift bag)

Picture
Using extra card stock, our logo graphics and extra ribbon, I created this easy project. The idea stemmed from Kthame from the Chicago Knottie boards so thanks for the inspiration! . I created a 12" long by 6" wide graphic on photoshop and then purchased a giant whole punch from Michaels to create the hole for the door knob. Now to figure out what the other items going in the gift bags...

Pocketfold Wedding Invitation

Picture
I fell in love with pocketfolds, but realized quickly that going through a stationary store, this design was one of the more expensive options. After a few months of trying to come up with a suitable design on Photoshop, I found a wonderful designer on esty: Michelle at www.inkedpapers.etsy.com. I basically told her exactly what I wanted the invites to say and she put all my ideas together. She sold me the pdf. files so I can print on my own. She also offered a chance to print through her for a pretty economical price.


The rest of the invite was pieced together from envelopes and mattes from www.paperandmore.com and also www.cardsandpockets.com. My embosser was purchased at an online stationary store and was used also for the STD's. The rhinestone on the interior chandelier is from Michael's. I plan on printing all the invitation at Office Max on their ivory linen card stock. The logos will be printed on gold leaf cardstock and the belly bands are black velvet ribbon trim purchased at Michael's. In the end, I saved at least 50% by piecing together this invite myself. I went with the cascading chandelier theme to mimic the Grand Duchess Chandelier from the Rialto Rotunda (will hang just above our dance floor). A friend of the family will be writing the names in calligraphy on the exterior red envelopes and the gold leaf interior envelope.

Photo Booth Poster

Picture
I wanted to created something for our photo booth since it was very plain and didn't really have the vintage feel I was looking for. The vinyl poster was ordered at www.largeposterformat.com to fit the photo booth in the specs 17.5 "x 32.5 "
