Every year we create the fabulous invitations for a weekend charity event in Indianapolis, and this year we really hit the ball out of the park with this Ancient Egyptian Themed Box Invitation.  I think this may be the favorite for the year.  Of course I say that with every new design we come up with... but this one was just so fun and unexpected that it definitely hits the top of the list.

We created an Antique Gold taffeta box with a flip top lid, and embellished it with two adorned bookboard panels on the top, and fabulous Egyptian hieroglyph border around the width of the box.

Upon opening the box, you find a double-sided scroll invitation that was printed on handmade Lotka paper.  A subtle background graphic, hand torn edges, and repetition of the hieroglyph border gave the paper even more visual interest.

The interior floor of the invitation was covered with an informational insert, and the Lotka paper response card just finished the whole package.  And even though there is no bling to speak of... this invitation will remain a fave.  Love it!

So, back in the day when I was young and innocent, I would have killed for invitations like these!  Heck, I would have killed for a party that warrants invitations like these.  Gorgeous, sumptuous navy velvet monogrammed boxes with invitations so spectacular and sparkly... there isn't a girl out there who wouldn't go ga-ga.

The color scheme for the event is virtually all white and silver with hints of navy blue to add depth and drama.  Lots of sparkle, lots of opulence.  Right up my alley :)

We created a velvet box with a 3-layer invitation composed of imported Italian metallic cardstock, glitter cardstock, as well as our signature Snow White matte cardstock. Added a silky navy satin ribbon and a glittering 2-tier rhinestone buckle embellishment, a hint of Swarovski's and... voila!  GORGEOUSNESS!

I have become a HUGE fan of glitter cardstock... especially the kind that doesn't shed glitter everywhere.  Savvy DIY-ers, listen-up... I don't share vendors often.  Want to add the shimmery sparkle seen here and not have to worry about getting glitter everywhere?  Check out Die Cuts With A View glitter stock.  You will not be disappointed.

Even the RSVP card is something one would want to keep as a keepsake.  3-layers, satin ribbon, Swarovski crystals, and an adorable custom monogram... LOVE!

The whole beautiful ensemble was encased in a custom rhinestone monogram velvet box.  

Note to self: Make sparkly monogrammed box for self.  Lots of them.

And we simply couldn't take such a gorgeous invitation and send it out in a raggedy ol' cardboard box.  So we dressed the box in shimmery silver paper, a silky satin ribbon and a fabulous 3-layer custom address seal.  Talk about adding to the anticipation.

DIY Silk Invitations...with a little help

I was recently contacted by a doll of a bride in new York who wants to create her own wedding invitations. She contacted me initally because of our new addition to the Build Your Own Silk Invitation line: silk invitation holders, but wound up ordering two unembellished sample boxes, a set of silk panels like we use in our designs, and two invitation holders. This set off what one of my college profs would call a Blinding Flash of the Obvious. We already create gorgeous customized affordable invitations, but perhaps there are brides out there who really do want to put their own mark on their invites, so to speak, and just want the silk supplies to set the foundation for their own unique creations. With this in mind, we are currently working on creating a DIY Build Your Own Silk Invitation section, where you can purchase silk panels for invitations and enclosures, unadorned silk boxes, and silk invitation holders at affordable prices. These foundation pieces should be available for sale within the week, so check it out!
