cole-gibadlo wedding invitations

cole-gibadlo wedding invitations

i created these invitations for my bff's wedding in july. steph and her hubbie-to-be call each other "bug". so naturally their wedding invites feature (custom) illustrations of a grasshopper (him) and a lightning bug (her). they're getting married out on her parent's property at night under the stars. it's going to be ah-mazing and i'm so glad i get to be a part of it.

hi! i am working on an invite right now and she wants navy and silver as well! what paper stock did you select? did you print 1 color metallic silver? or foil stamp? sorry for so many questions, they look beautiful!

hi dani!

i used Paper Source "Night" and had it printed at Paper Affair as 1 color metallic silver. We were going to use thermography, but they couldn't do the raised effect on dark paper without smudging. I think it still turned out nicely though.

you might also look at Envelopments "Navy Linen" too - it has a bit more feel to it. we opted for the cheaper option at Paper Source, but i've seen this in person too and it's really lovely.
