Handwritten invitation suite and menu for a styled shoot with Shafon of Jumping the Broom Weddings. Photography by the sweet and beautiful Mary Tarbet. I know it's a little hard to see in these photos, but the suite was featured on deckled edge recycled paper with gold, cool grey, and silver inks. Hand addressed envelopes in gold as well, with antique gold linen liner. Probably the nicest (*read: time consuming*) handwritten invitation I've ever created. But so worth it!
The J. Paul Getty Foundation awarded an author the award this past November. They chose to have their place cards on these adorable duplexed* bookmarks with a blush pink tassel. (V clever!) It was a cold day, and once guests arrived I actually had to sit behind a curtain at the entrance of the Morgan Library & Museum and be at the ready with pen and ink to make new place cards in case guests who had not RSVP'd showed up, or in case someone had a different escort. If there is one thing I have learned about doing big events like this: people do not RSVP. I've found that at least 20% more people show up to the event than anticipated. Of course, all the best event planners & coordinators account for this happening, and have wildly elaborate plans for how to accommodate. It's amazing to watch. Especially at a seated dinner!
