Comic Book Style Birthday Invitations



One thing that we love about our job is that we are constantly challenged with new, unique and clever visions that our clients have. Recently, we had to create a birthday invitation for two young adults who were combining their parties but had two diffent themes. Jake wanted his theme to be "Avengers" with the main icons which is totally the hype right now. Kayla wanted her theme to be Parisian, with the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomph, damask designs and purple, gray and white colors. They are two completely different looks and we wanted to make sure we executed both visions, but at the same time, exhibiting both equally and allowing them to blend into one cohesive invitation and style. What do you think? We had so much fun doing it and hope it was a great preview to the fun that was in store! Happy 13th Birthday Kayla and Jake!

An Elegant Wedding Amongst the Vineyards

We had the pleasure of working with one of the sweetest brides, Laura, who was having her wedding at a  beautiful winery in Lompoc, California.  To top it off, we helped her with her stationary needs from start to finish!  She chose our Vino Collection which features grape vines and leaves and is truly a timeless look.  From the beautiful invitations she custom designed, to the place cards, programs, menus and party favor tags for the Big Day, to the Thank You Cards after the event.  It was so much fun working with her and we thank her for sharing her beautiful photos and memories with us.  The wedding looked absolutely amazing, and the bride and groom were perfection.  It was elegant, romantic and timeless.  We wish you and Michael a lifetime filled with love and happiness!

"A Very Hungry Caterpillar" Themed Birthday


This has got to be one of our most colorful and fun themed parties we have worked on so far!  One of our brilliant clients and super mommy planned an amazing birthday party for her one year old son, Riley.  The theme was inspired by the children's book "A Very Hungry Caterpillar" and allowed all the colors of the rainbow to be used.  Food signs were made for a candy section that was truly a crowd pleaser with the younger guests.  Table names and place cards were inspired by another children's book, "Brown Bear Brown Bear" and the cake was an ode to Riley's nursery theme of jungle animals.  And did you notice the "Very Hungry Caterpillar" cupcakes?  Fabulous!  The attention to detail and pop of color in this event was nothing less than brilliant.  Thank you for letting us join in on the fun and Happy First Birthday Riley!

Sunset Serenade Themed Invitations


We were fortunate enough to work on Gabrielino High School's Prom Invitations once again this year.  Their theme is "Sunset Serenade" with eggplant, raspberry and gold colors.  Great color combination, right??? We love it!  We designed an invitation for them that featured palm trees and the sun setting in the background.  Doesn't it just make you want to go on vacation?  Or attend this amazing prom?  They were placed in gold shimmery envelopes to give it an elegant finishing touch.

We hope you have a wonderful and unforgettable time tonight Gabrielino HS Class of 2012!
