Save the Date Punchcards

charmed — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:49:23 +0000

I am a huge fan of invitation designs and sets, especially when they’re creative and graphically well-designed. I recently discovered LetterPunch Design who creates ‘thoughtfully themed, wedding paper designs’ and I love their style! Their designs are just as their slogan reads and I am absolutely charmed by their “Save the Date” Punchcard designs. Besides their incredibly, beautiful and contemporary graphics, the best part may be the tear off RSVP card that comes with it! These are just charming, fun and refreshing. Enjoy some samples below!

Aren’t these “All Aboard” Save the Dates adorable? Here is a sampling of the tear off RSVP card attached. It’s convenient for the guest as well as perfectly thought out in functionality and design.

Here’s a fun Destination Wedding Day by Day Itinerary. Again, the design gets 100 points for concept and 100 points for the chic factor.

Love the attached Accommodations Suggestion Card

Here is an image of the RSVP card separate of the invitation…still gorgeous and chic.

Here is a sample of one of their wedding invitation sets, this one is called “Vintage Glam Weddings” and is named appropriately so…perhaps it’s because of my love for pink, damask and chandeliers.

Visit Letter Punch Design for more of their design portfolio or visit their Etsy Shop here

Plums and Dahlias DIY Decor

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Decor 8, especially their Color Me Pretty Feature written by Leslie of A Creative Mint. Her most recent entry featured delicious inspirations of plum hues and dahlias and I hope you will be inspired by her decor ideas. I think tomorrow, I will definately buy some dahlias and decorate my own jar.

This would be a cute idea for a small gathering, finding architecturally interesting jars and tying the rims with plum inspired ribbons and finally topping them off with dahlias is perfection!

Find fabrics or decorative paper with plum hues or dahlia designs and create a chic, color and design coordinated garland for decor.

Find dahlia and plum inspired decorative paper, cut them into different gift tag shapes. This would be great for an Escort Card Board, the different sizes and designed tags will be adorable all pinned up!

For more about this idea, be sure to visit Decor 8 for this Color Me Pretty edition designed by Creative Mint

The Creative Voice of Escort Cards

I think that right now, Escort Cards are my favorite aspect to look forward to in weddings. Although they play just one small part, they probably have the loudest and most creative voice of them all. The detail and thought that could be incorporated into Escort Cards go far and wide and I find them absolutely charming! Please feel free to share with us some of your favorite Escort Card Ideas or Images!

One of A Kind

Can you believe the creativity and detail that went into these escort cards? The Escort Cards on the left have the guest’s name and table number on the front and back covers, while the pages inside have their favorite love quotes and sayings. The Escort Cards on the right needs no explanation, it’s a purely genius play on the purpose of Escort Cards. Love them!

Flower Love

I love flowers so I’m absolutely smitten with these ideas that are so “flowerful”! The Escort Cards on the right are simply sitting on a bed of perfectly lined, blooming pink carnations. The Escort Cards on the left offer mini daisies for each guest…talk about a sign of personal affection! Absolutely splendid!

Back to Basics

How wonderful it is that traditional seating ideas get a make-over! The Escort Card display on the left literally is an upgraded and elegantly designed seating chart and floor plan that let’s the guest know where they’re sitting and, most importantly, what direction to find their table! The Escort Card display on the right is nothing out of the ordinary but the display on a be-ribboned board gives the entire concept a sweet touch.

Natural Beauty

I love when elements of nature play a part in the decor and concept of a wedding; it is just so simply chic and inviting! On the left, bouquets of lavendar are given to guests while Pomegranates serve as Card Holders on the right.
