Embellishments 101: I'm with the Band

So you say that you just want a simple invite with one color? Yeah, that's cool and all. But when you're with this one-of-a-kind band, you'll make your guests' heart sing.

Cue, the embellishment: the burlap belly band. Did you know the origination of jute burlap came from India? The jute fibers of the burlap is renowned for it's durability and strength, as it was universally used in many different ways to export goods. Today, the texture of burlap brings back that sense of humble and enduring, home-spun charm. Our belly bands will add style and texture to the lead singer's hair...err, I mean your invitation suite.

Vintage Flair for a Southern Affair

This fancy invitation suite is the latest project we've been working on. Our lovely bride Lauren, wanted a feel of Anthropologie meets the South. Along with the vellum and burlap bellyband, the letterpress impression into the cream cotton cardstock brought a more tactile feel to the announcement. She also chose kraft paper envelopes to keep that rustic look. Read more on "Vintage Flair for a Southern Affair"...

Meghan and Ben

These pair of love birds are flying off to wedding bliss on December 13, 2008 in Memphis, Tennessee. The chocolate brown and sage green colors along with the tree and bird theme really set the tone for this wintry ceremony. Their invites were created using letterpress on Crane's LettraPress paper.

A big inspiration for their invites came from Ann Wood's whimsical bride and groom bird cake toppers. I can't wait to see this cute cake topper in person on December 13!

Heather & Scott

Heather and Scott's wedding invitations have finally been sent! Their fall wedding will take place in Charleston on October 4th. The main inspiration of their invites was the Cooper River Bridge, which will be the highlight view at the reception. Not only is this landmark a solid mark of beauty, it also symbolizes their big day as they bridge their lives together.

"I am extremely happy with the work done by P&J Invitations. The whole process, from initial conception, design, to printing and the most exciting part for me stuffing and mailing (because they did the work for me!) was a delight. Not only was the design high caliber but also the work relationship. Thank you both for a job well done!"- Heather Bunting Yavaliollah Read more on "Heather & Scott"...

Eleanor Baccay & Adam Reece

Eleanor and Adam will be married on July 26, 2008 in Atlanta, Georgia. Their pink and brown pieces for the invitation set were designed to fit into one booklet; the invite on one side while the other side contained the RSVP tear-out postcard, the directions and accommodations card and the reception card. The right side of the booklet was tied together by one brown satin ribbon and each card was scored at the top for easy flipping.

Stacey and Makoto

Stacey and Makoto are tying the knot on September 6, 2008 in Winston Salem, North Carolina. Their color theme exudes a vibrant, yet elegant touch for this fall celebration. This blue and orange invitation set was cohesively designed for all the pieces to be presented in one convenient packet.

Carrie and Keaton Edwards

Carrie and Keaton exchanged their vows on May 31, 2008 in Landrum, South Carolina. Carrie and Keaton's colors were hues of blue (dark blue and a pretty light blue).

The invitation set included a response postcard, a directions and accommodations card and a reception card.

Part of what really made this invitation set special was the ribbon and tag that was personalized with the guest's name.

We also added a wrap around address label on the outer envelope to complete the presentation.

Anne Marie and Chris Ashley

Anne Marie and Chris's colors were apple green and black so it was very fitting to have green apples as the theme of their wedding. Anne Marie and Christopher got hitched on April 28, 2007 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Their invitations were printed on a letterpress and the set included an additional information envelope that carried the response postcard and a directions and accommodations card.

To tie the ceremony with the reception, we also printed coordinating menu cards for the evening.

How do ya' like them apples?
