A&J Wedding Invitation

Production Method

Design

Khanh Uyen

A&J set out to create a set number of identical wedding invitations for their wedding, but the complexity of the production which included hot stamping large areas created 500 unique representations of their design—with imperfections and uneven coverage each invitation turned out to be as unique as each guest. — Bryony

Production Lesson(s)

Hot-stamping on pure cotton paper will occasionally not cover entirely, however, if you embrace the imperfections you can create unique individual pieces.
