Libby & Craig

The Brief: Libby and Craig were open to suggestions regarding their invitations as they hadn't really planned anything. After a consultation with Libby, we decided to design the invitation around Libby's dress, which was a fabulous shade of coral - and I based the modern look of the invitations on Libby's personality and flair for contemporary style. Brown and black were added for depth, and light olive and white highlights completed the look.

The inspiration for the design of the invitation came from a special brooch Libby planned to wear on the day - a custom illustration was created from a top-secret photo of Libby's dress in order to colour match the hot pink of the invitation to her gorgeous gown, and to get the glints of light off the brooch's jewels just right.



To try something different, the folded invitations were given a third panel, which perforated off to become a seal-able RSVP card. An adhesive strip was attached to each card so that once attendance details were filled out, the guest could simply detatch the RSVP card, fold it and post it back to Libby and Craig's preprinted address. This proved to be a great success!



A slip was carefully placed around each Z-fold invitation to keep them in place and also add another dimension to the design - this also made the invitation easily identifiable as Libby and Craig's.



It's a pleasure to work with two such open-minded people and I was very honoured to be involved in Libby and Craig's special day. Thankyou!
