I can finally post! The first batch of Bethany and Bryan's invitations were handed out last Sunday after church service, and the couple mailed the rest of the invitations yesterday. In the next few days I'll complete part one with part two with a more formal debut of the invitations.

For now, here is a photo documentation of our short and sweet invitation compiling.




Freshly cut and unfolded invitation interiors before they were butchered by ATM cards.





Map inserts ready to be coupled.




Bryan, the groom. Now do you understand the rivalry I was referring to?




The front displays six of the thirty-one icons that I created for wedding paper usage.










This King and Queen postage coincidentally matched well with the sage green envelopes.




Bethany busily sorting envelopes and me on my laptop doing who knows what.




Stamping in action! I love the sound that the rubber stamp makes when it hits paper.




Each envelope was sealed with a custom stamp in purple ink that I designed for the couple (great for future use!). Bethany got the rubber stamp done at Berkeley Stamp--just email the company with the stamp size you want to purchase and an image of the custom graphic in actual size at 500 dpi black. It was ready for pick-up in less than two days!







Make sure that your hands are squeaky clean before handling the invitations and envelopes. I used my travel size Purell bottle. You don't want oil and dirt spots on your invitations! We also used wet strips of paper towels to seal each envelope.




Ready to be handed out and mailed!
Folding, sealing, stamping, and sorting took less than two hours with three people!


Their wedding website is also up and running! I created mock-ups of the introductory splash page and actual website, but our mutual friend Richard did all the coding and made everything come to life!
