REAL WEDDINGS Claire & Robert - Red & White Travel themed Wedding Invitation

These Red & White Travel themed Wedding Invitations, made for Claire & Robert, was one of my my last order before I closed for the Christmas break.

Claire wanted travel ticket style invitations and it had to include Accommodation details as well as an R.S.V.P.  

3 tags were tied together with a 7mm red satin ribbon

and a Belly band which slipped over all 3 cards, completed the look. 

My first order using Belly Bands.... I think they'll become pretty popular this year.

REAL WEDDINGS Charlotte & Sam - Dark Blue & Silver personalised wedding invitations, Wedding Post box Wishing tree tags and Favour Tags

Charlotte & Sam have chosen a Dark Blue & Silver themed wedding. 

They decided on our 'Tumbling Hearts' design and asked that the day invitations were made a little more extravagant and opted for the Gate=fold Style, while choosing the more simple flat invitations for the Evening Guests. 

They are making their own wedding favours so I made some tags in the same colour scheme to match .

The wedding post box will hold their cards inside, again using the hearts and navy blue colour scheme.

Instead of a Guest Book they are using my Wishing Tree and I've made the tags to go with them. 

It's been difficult to source boxes for these tags to be stored in after the wedding is over, however a company just happened to have some of just the right size.

The top of the box is personalised and slips off to reveal a little poem to encourage the guests to fill in a tag and hang it on the tree.

REAL WEDDING - Shaun & Mandy Hot Pink and Silver Foil Wedding theme

I've already blogged about these gorgeous Wedding Invitations over at my Wedding Blog by I just had to share again, as hot pink never seems to loose it's popularity. 

I was asked to make the Wedding Invites using Hot Pink Ribbon and printed insert and silver Foil Decoration to the card. We thought that Hot Pink foil may be a little overpowering.

As a special gift, I invested in 20 bespoke Keepsake boxes which not only make it a pleasure handing them over, but personalised and with matching ribbon can be used as a keepsake box to be used afterwards to keep the Bride and Grooms cards and memories in. I also offer them for sale to Brides who have bought their stationery elsewhere.

I made a matching Silver Foiled tag and the Hot Pink Ribbon just make the box look fantastic. The Bride and Groom seem to like it too.

I was also asked to make little cards for this wedding order, asking the the nicest possible way for money instead of gifts....this is a difficult one for newly weds today, but with an increasing number of people setting up home before they get married, I think people are no longer offended by this and lets face it, it relieves guests from having to come up with something special.

Gone are the days of 25 sets of bathroom scales, 6 toasters and 3 kettles.If you are considering asking for cash as a gift see our post about
