{a vintage travel wedding}

There is nothing better than starting a wedding invitation project with a bride that you have never met and by the time you ship off the final product, you are good friends! So much so, that I almost hand delivered them to NYC. I guess we will just have to save our meeting until the wedding day. 

When my old and dear friend Bo emailed me saying "Angie meet Itzy. Itzy meet Angie, we want you to do our wedding invitations", I was over the moon with excitement! Itzy wanted something fun. Something different. Something vintage. She knew what she wanted but she was wanted me to be creative and think outside the box. The couple is getting married in Tulum Mexico in November.  For the invite Bo specifically requested something that resembled a retro travel poster and something that didn't say typical wedding invitation. I think we accomplished that! For the RSVP,  we chose to do a postcard with a vintage inspired map of the area. "Wish you were here!", beckons the guests to join them at the beautiful destination. Being world travelers, Itzy and Bo both wanted the information card to have a passport feel. I found some fun travel stamps and created a personalized one just for the couple to add dimension to the back of the card. We added a small loop of chocolate bakers twine to the top for a little extra detail.  Instead of using an innner envelope we chose a cotton muslin bag. I cant wait to see the final, final product after Itzy adds another stamp to the bags for a little extra personal touch.
