Wedding Invitation for Kris & Mike by MDG, inc.

---

CLIENT

Kris and Mike who have completely different sensibilities when it comes to design.

---

BRIEF

We were tasked with merging two different design sensibilities and to convey our unique personalities, while creating a memorable suite that would serve as an accurate reflection of the ceremony’s locale.

APPROACH

As it is for any wedding invitation, this piece was meant to serve as informational and inspirational to family members and friends. We were always cognizant of remaining true to the character of the couple—which is why we wanted to create custom typography headers for the names and a custom emboss to reflect the nature theme that was so pivotal to the day. We loved that the wood grain on the main invitation card doubled as a topographic element on the map.

PRODUCTION LESSONSThe information card proved a bit difficult for a single sheet of Lettra to handle—with the blind embossed map on the reverse side—so Gilah Press + Design suggested a duplex solution that ensured no disruption to the depth of the letterpress or the rest of the invitation components. They saved the day.
