Remember Neil, Fleur and their Hamptons wedding? They loved the work we did for them so much that they recommended us to his parents, who hired us to design an invitation to the rehearsal dinner. But then the rehearsal dinner became a rehearsal dinner and a Sunday morning bunch. And then they decided to invite all 150 wedding guests, anticipating they might come to the Long Island beaches for the whole weekend. And so a seaside theme was requested, something in blues and greens, with a layout that could accomodate a reference to the "whole weekend" element surrounding the wedding, the rehearsal dinner invitation, as well as brunch and RSVP information.
We tweaked a traditional 5x7 inch fold-over card layout by mounting the whole thing onto a solid, sea green backing card.The front incorporates a custom graphic of a sand dollar, with the cute text "In celebration of Neil and Fleur, the party begins the evening before..." A satin ribbon in sky blue wraps the front, but also separates the two events on the interior: rehearsal dinner above, brunch below. The invitation is presented in a matching sea green envelope, complete with the sand dollar graphic repeated below the return address.
