Place Cards and Favors - Starfish & Sand Dollar Theme

I just finished 2 wedding orders and one wholesale sample order today. They are all ready to ship/pick up. I'm so glad to have them done as I had a lot of things to do. Tomorrow I should have photos of another large stephanotis with pearls bouquet to share. What supposed to be a "slow" period for me has turned into a VERY BUSY time. Don't get me wrong it's a good thing. Just won't be going on a Legoland trip like we had hoped for our son's birthday.

At any rate, I finished Kerri's order today. I had her cymbidium orchid favors to finish and her place cards. She really wanted real starfish and sand dollar shells on her invitations but I told her that it would be more cost effective to go with an image and then try to do the real shells on the reception items. So for the place cards it made sense. I suggested we do the dark brown font versus purple since the tent fold is already purple and the dark brown would look nice with the shells and be much easier for people to read their names.

This is how those last items of her order turned out.

Thank You Cards - Purple and Ivory Color Palette

An invitation client of mine asked me to create matching thank you notes for her and her fiance to thank their wedding guests with and of course I agreed to help. The original invitation design used the bronze pocketfold and Kerri thought it was too dark for the thank you cards, so we went with the diamond pearl metallic as the main cardstock used for her thank you cards. We also used a different seashell image to incorporate the sand dollar.

This is the 2nd round of samples and Kerri chose the one with her name offset to Greg's. I'm also working on her place cards and her favor boxes for her wedding so those pictures will be posted next week. I have a couple of orders like these for smaller weddings. Kerri and Greg are having their reception at the Grand Wailea Resort (where I just was back in December).Anyway, back to work on my orders and samples... More to come soon...
