Personalised Baby Christening Announcements

I have to admit.... most of my work is taken up with Wedding Invitations and Stationery these days,but every now and again I get asked to make 18th and 21st Birthday Party Invitations or Personalised Baby Christening Announcements  

Here are the ones I made for Amelia Jasmine....

I came up with 2 designs.... the first one folded.....

The second was a flat card....

The flat card seemed to fit the bill better....

All the names on our cards are written in calligraphy...

Before being printed and foiled in a choice of over 15 colours.....

And of course.... we supply a matching envelope

If you would like to see another design we did

here's the link

So whatever the occasion or celebration, be it 

Birthdays, Christening, Weddings or Anniversaries,

we can make a card to fit!

Anna's Personalised 18th Birthday Party Invitations

At the same time as Eileen & Chris's Wedding

it was also their daughter Anna's 18th Birthday.

So.... I had to come up with something 

a little different than the usual 

wedding Invitations and Stationery.

Most of my art work is drawn with a 0.8mm fine line pen.

This makes a decent thickness of mark when it comes to foiling.

Anna had seen and liked a similar design 

on some Wedding Invitations,

but where there were stars in the spirals, we decided

 it would look great to put the number 18

We added sprinkled stars all around the border

and incorporated them around her name,

which helps to keep things uniform

I think we were both happy with the finished result.

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY ANNA!

Eileen & Chris's - Hot Pink Wedding Invitations

We pride ourselves on offering the same high quality

 or goods and services, 

no matter how large or small your wedding!

It is our mission not to be 

exclusive but 'in'clusive.... 

whatever your budget.

Eileen & Chris's Wedding 

was to be a small one,

with only a few close friends. 

First job for me is to write out 

the Bride and grooms name in calligraphy,

wait till it dries, rub out the lines,

and then get it scanned 

so that I can work on it 

so it is 'camera ready' for the 

Invitations and Stationery.

I love all aspects of my work....

but this really is the fun part :-)

Together, they chose the smaller, flat,  A6 sized invitations,

These are a perfect size when small graphics and 

where there is only 1 meal or buffet.

Some couples choose to have a church Wedding,

then a sit down meal at a venue and then and evening disco and buffet too.

In these cases there is too much information to go on this type and size or card.

And here they are all packed up to go.

While they were in the shop, they also saw 

my personalised Wedding blessing Candles

and had one made in memory of Eileen's grandparents

With matching ribbon and font colour to carry through their theme.

I think the memory candles are a particularly lovely idea, especially where one or both parents are passed away.

I have known couples put them on the head tables and light them as a reminder that although absent, they are very close to their hearts. 

What ideas do you have f

or remembering absent people 

at your wedding? 

Black & White Wedding Invitations, Wedding Post Box and Guest Book - Tina & Peter

here's the Black & White Wedding Invitations, 

Wedding Post Box and Guest Book

I created for Tina & Peter 

Folded Invitations for the Daytime

and simple, Flat Invitations for the Evening

We used the heart theme from the

Blessing Tree Design 

and incorporated them on

he Wedding Post Box

On the Guest Book

we also carried through the 

Black & White Theme....

As these 2 items usually sit side by side on a table

it's nice to have them matching :-)

Red, Blue and Green Wedding Invitations - Cassie & John

Red, Blue and Green 

Wedding Invitations  

Cassie & John

Invitations, Seating Plan,

Wedding Post Box & Place Cards

The wedding colour theme for Cassie and John

came from Johns Scottish ancestry.

there theme was to be a tartan one,

however, we don't have a tartan foil...

so we had to think a bit creatively here.

We (between us)

decided that the Folded Daytime Invitations 

Would be Ivory and foiled in Red...

And the Flat Evening Invitations too.....

We made the RSVP cards in Blue foil

And the 'Money not Gift' Request Cards 

in a beautiful Emerald Green.....

Apologies for the rather pale next few pictures...

they were taken on my iPad and the photos look 

ok on that, but they do funny things on Blogger :-)

We made the seating plan in the same colours,

using red for the foil lettering and as the main colour.

The green border and blue butterflies, helped tie it all in.

Here's a very poor close up....

Then, the post box....

here I tried to tie it in as best I could 

with the seating plan....

And last of all....

These mini Lottery Ticket Envelopes

A small Blue and Green butterfly

to match the theme of butterflies

running right through this order....

An personalised with Red Gouache Calligraphy,

to make them even more special.

Some colour themes leave you 

with a bit of head scratching,

but with a bit of creative thinking....

things usually work out in the end.

What do you think?

Like? or not?

If you had a Scottish Themed Wedding,

how did you get everything to fit in?

Heart Themed Wedding Invitation Inspirations

I've been asked by a Bride to send her a few photos 

of some heart designs I've created. 

So I thought I'd pop then into a quick blog post

to share with all my other interested couples.

Card 1 - The fingerprint card

Card 2 - Tumbling Hearts

Card 3 - Heart Balloons

Card 4 - Simple Filigree Heart

Card 5 - triple Heart 

Card 6 - Filigree Heart 

Card 7 - Heart Border

Card 8 - Tendril Hearts

Card 9 - Open and Closed Hearts

Card 10.... as above but this time foiled in pale pink.

These are just some of the cards available at the studio.

We work on new designs when requested or when time permits.

Although most of these cards are seen as folded,

all the above designs can be made into flat invitations with a bit of tweaking.

Obviously the designs may have to be smaller to accommodate 

all the information that can be put inside the folded cards,

but for the budget Bride these can be ideal,

offering something personalised, different, unique,

while staying within budget :-)
