A stylish way to keep your event branding going is to custom label your refreshments! These labels were done for a photo shoot I participated in for Our Wedding Magazine {more pics from this shoot to come!} with Blooms by Martha Andrews.

I used brightly colored Jones Soda bottles and coordinated each label color with the color of the soda. Labels suggested to "Enjoy a Fizzy soda pop!" and included a little description of the flavor around the bottle. Topped off with vintage paper straws. Paper straws are available in gray, green, blue, red, fuchsia or orange and white stripes. Aaaa-stinkin' adorable!

Paper straws will soon be available in the SJD Store!

Tonight!  Sacramento Magazine's "Best of Sacramento" big bash is tonight!  Visit their blog for details and ticket information.  You can still get tickets at the door!

I had the pleasure of creating some dessert bar tags for Carissa with Sugar and Spice and ....  She is creating, what I hear to be an amazing display of literally thousands, mini dessert bites including ... cupcakes, caramel cream puffs, sugar cookies, haute chocolate mousse, spicy ginger-lemon mousse, pb&j's, strawberry pate de fruit and a wedding cake!  Carissa's desserts are gorgeous - a must see.

The dessert bar tags I created turned out super-cute!  Right?  At the event they will be placed in shot glasses filled with hot pink sugar.  Can't wait to see pics!  But could not wait for event pics ... I absolutely had to share how adorable these little babies came out!

I have sooooo many invitations that I haven't photographed yet - some going back to early 2008!  I dragged out the giant invitation archive last night and decided, on a whim, start organizing it all.  And then this morning I needed to shoot some of my finds.

This mostly came out of a need to catalog and store each invitation in a way that I can easily share them at consultations.  And the organizing pressure is on since Martha and I move into the newly renovated meeting space next weekend (well that's the goal anyway!).  More on that later.  We are soooo excited!!

Invitation for a favorite client of mine who, together with her sister, hosted a reception in honor of their brother's recent wedding in Thailand.  I was all about the envelope liner on this invite and really loved how the color palette came together - the muted colors with that crazy pop of limey-yellow.  

Double sided postcard invitation for a house warming party.  The Dupras Family, also a previous wedding client of mine, hosted a down-home country shindig at their new diggs.  As simple as this invitation was - it is on my list of all-time favorites.

I have to admit I am already thinking about the holidays!  This invite was for a holiday party celebrating new ownership & renovation of the salons.  I don't know what it is about the holiday season that makes me feel like I need to glitter everything in sight!

I have to say one of my favorite clients of all time - the Ciapessoni Family ordered these invitations for a 60th birthday celebration.  It's always a creative challenge designing an invitation for the dude's out there and still keep my girl-y little twists in there.

My son's 4th birthday invitation.  We loooooove Scooby around here.  Seems like I never get the time to really go nuts on my own party invitations - boo, hoo.  I'm always trying frantically to get them done in the midst of everything else going on.

Feelin' the tiki torches yet?  This was a super-quick invite for my good friends, The Braner Family.  Ashli graduated high school this year and they hosted a BBQ beach inspired bash.

This one was fun!  Introducing the double sided invite.  One side girly - one side all boy.  My friend Coleen has twins and triplets.  Yes!  I know.  For the twin's, Falyne and Karson, 5th birthday I came up with the double sided invite - you choose who's party your attending - one event two invites all in one. 

Sooooo, that's it for this morning.  As I go through the rest of the archive, I'll pull more invites - photograph 'em and post 'em up!

We're not just all invitations here at SJD.  It's any paper, creative thing-y you may need for your event.  Stationery, favors, guest books, any little 'ol thing that maybe you just can't find somewhere else - we'll create it together - custom, unique, and from scratch.

Last night, I delivered these sweet table cards & menus for Christina & Troy's wedding today!  My good friend and planner extraordinaire, Alison of Alison Ulshoffer Events & Design, called me up for this fun project.  

The table cards were oh, so cute with names like - Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch, Chapel of Love, It's in His Kiss, And then He Kissed Me - just to name a few.  Are you humming along yet?  I like the classic simplicity of numbered cards - but love the idea of naming the cards with either a theme or things that mean something to the couple.  They can be a great conversation starter for guests.  The menus just as cute, followed suit in the same design palette with a custom monogram heading up the panel.  Each card, table & menu, I adorned with Swarovski Crystals for a little surprise and a touch of bling factor for Christina.  

Happy Wedding Christina & Troy!!
