Wedding invitations, like people, come in all shapes and sizes. Gillian Damborg jumped the gun a bit on this invite as he began to design it before a budget was established and an estimate from the printer was in place. Good thing it all worked out in the end.
Haley and Peter wanted something fun with a woodcut or linotype feeling. Given their attraction to simplistic colour palettes, and their limited budget, we decided to print using two colors on an interesting stock, versus a four color job. To make the invites a little more fun, and reflecting of the couple’s personality we added unique illustrated maps to guide the guests to the two destinations.
