Project Description
This is the invitation system I designed for my wedding. The first piece was a series of "save the date" coasters. Each guest got one coaster with an excited phrase like "Hell Yes!" or "Hooray" and one with the date and location information. Then, for the invitation, I made a 18-by-24-inch silkscreen poster showing the places my fiance and I have traveled and things we've done together in three colors -- blue, red, and gold. I sent them in triangle poster boxes that were stamped with one of the fun sayings used on the coasters, again in one of three colors. All of these variations let me give each guest a unique invitation set.Production Lesson(s)
The biggest lesson was that matching colors across vendors and printing techniques was difficult to get them to match exactly. And the problem was multiplied as I did everything in 3 color ways.
