Fun Photo Invite – Humorous elegance I would call it!

I recently met with a local couple who brought me a full mock-up of what they had in mind for the invitation. It was a folded piece with lovely script and a romantic quote on the front. When I opened the card I was pleasantly surprised to see their first grade photograph staring back at me. I thought this was a lovely idea, I’ve seen it done before, but lovely just the same.

I was determined to put my own twist on the idea. How could I make the look elegant and stylish while still heartwarming and humorous. The couple clearly wanted to strike a balance with their design but how could I pull it off without it looking like a craft project?

My solution? – a gorgeous combination of premium shimmer papers, hand-painted artwork accents and a sepia version of their photographs.

Enjoy!
