Mandala Wedding Invitation

7/8/2020

 This was a different introduction to a client but I loved it.  I participated in a contest with Kel Ward Photography.  I contributed a $250 gift certificate towards stationery for the winner.  Danielle and Kasey were the winners!!!  So they were stuck with me! Lol.

Danielle had an idea of what she was looking for and was able to send me many pictures (thank you Pinterest!).  She knew she wanted a mandala in the design and wanted it printed on kraft cardstock.  I don’t do many invitations on kraft but I was looking forward to the opportunity.

A key element for their invitations was having their names inside the mandala.  By their nature mandalas don’t have empty centers so I was going to have to create one.  That was step one because I couldn’t build the invitation until I had the centerpiece of the design.

I came up with 2 designs for the mandala and sent them to Danielle.  She loved them both and picked one.  They wanted a more casual invitation so that meant needing to stay away from formal fonts. I came up with a few options and sent them over.  I wanted the couple to pick what fit their wedding best.  They chose one of the designs I did but wanted to see it in an olive-green color instead of black.  That was the element that got a “perfect! I love it!” response from them.

Their wedding invitation suite included 2 inserts.  They were having guest RSVP on their wedding website so 1 insert had that information on it.  The second insert was an accommodations card.  Almost all of their guests were traveling to attend their wedding and the wedding was at a resort, Chinook Winds Casino.

The invitations and inserts were all printed on a heavyweight 130lb kraft cardstock.  Kraft cardstock is hard to find in such a heavy weight but I prefer the heavier weight because of the sturdiness it provides the invitations.  This is an element that could not be found when ordering online from a big retailer like Shutterfly or Vistaprint.

I love when a couple comes to me with an idea and working with the couple the vision becomes a reality.  This was my first suite done on kraft card stock.  I have done many since, but this was my first.  I was immensely proud of the final product and I was even happier that the client loved it.

Thank you, Danielle, for working with me and trusting me with your vision.
