Aimee's
Mailbu Beach Club West wedding invites were inspired by the black and white stripped cabana that was crafted for their wedding ceremony. See more pictures from Aimee's wedding here on the
Sarah Maren Photography blog.
Pictured above {from top}: 1. Save the Dates {Aimee was a lifeguard for most of her youth and wanted to bring that in somehow, so we created a little life preserver ring for the front and inside there is an illustration of a lifeguard tower}, 2. Invitation Outside with Guest Addressed Digital Calligraphy Outside Envelope, 3. Inside View, 4. Inside view Showing Enclosure Details, 5. Inside View Showing Map Details and 6. Dessert Buffet Lolli-Sticks.
Soooo much fun!! Love the color palette with the bold use of black and white with little pops of turquoise here and there.
Congratulations Aimee & Jarrod!

I've been wanting to show these Panel (panel invitations with no pocket) back options for sometime. Thinking it really helps to see the same invite with different options for the back. Each little twist makes such a difference
Photo 1: invitation front
Photo 2: ribbon sash
Photo 3: ribbon knot
Photo 4: tailored Tiffany bow
Photo 5: ribbon sash with punched monogram panel
Photo 6: ribbon sash with flat monogram panel
Which is your favorite back?? Mine? The tailored Tiffany bow. I'm all about those little bows these days.

Meet Megan and Peter. Their wedding took place in Angwin, California at Megan's uncles winery, Robert Foley Vineyards on August 9th, 2008. The day was captured in photography by the talented team of Artistic Imagery, Amber & Alan. If I could put all the photos they so expertly took - I would. The cellar photos are simply breathtaking.
If there is any couple I have worked with in the last 6 years that I connected with on just about every level - it was Megan & Peter. From their wedding to tattoos - I think we just about covered it all! Their vision was clean and crisp with a Rock-a-billy attitude.
Their invitation was a 5x7 panel design, double matte invitation of black linen and classic white - three layers all together, enclosures secured to the back with a bandwrap, grosgrain ribbon & monogram panel, directions, accommodation info and reply postcard. The table cards were 5x7 single matte in black linen, table name printed on classic white and double sided so that guests could see the table name from any direction. The thank you notes were printed with their custom monogram on classic white 4x5 notecards with matching classic white envelopes.
Thank you, Megan and Peter for trusting me and allowing me to share in your special day!

Did you know ... I include coordinating thank you notes with all my custom invitation orders? It's my little thank you for ordering from Stephanie J Designs. You get the same number of free thank you notes as the number of invitations ordered - order 100 invitations and get 100 thank you notes.
Etiquette Tip > Mail thank you notes within 1 month of receiving a gift - the sooner the better - but 1 month is the longest you should put it off.
