CLIENT

Kares­sa and Richard are an old-fash­ioned, vin­tage-lov­ing cou­ple with an appre­ci­a­tion for raw objects and old processes.


BRIEF

We want­ed to cre­ate an invi­ta­tion that our guests would want to hold on to well after the wed­ding. It need­ed to be a prac­ti­cal piece that suit­ed the look-and-feel of the wedding.


APPROACH

I want­ed to cre­ate an engag­ing and mem­o­rable invi­ta­tion which suit­ed the rus­tic Autumn theme. With the paper stocks we’d cho­sen, we just had to make it a let­ter­press piece. The raw look of the buf­fa­lo board along with the sim­ple design and typog­ra­phy suit­ed the vin­tage look per­fect­ly. The but­tons and string were attached by hand and locked the invi­ta­tions shut allow­ing the guests to unwind it them­selves. Addi­tion­al­ly, the RSVP page was per­fo­rat­ed and became a self-mail­ing post­card once it had been torn out and filled in by our guests.

PRODUCTION LESSONS

As this was my first letterpress project, the entire experience was a learning process. From checking and adjusting the weight of every stroke, to manually creating the traps, there has been a lot I’ve taken on board for next time.
