Non-traditional Wedding Invitations

06/11/2009

I love, love, love this wedding invitation featured today over at iDIY.  This invitation doesn’t have any fancy graphics, just a simple layout that uses typography and newspaper-esque graphics to tell an incredibly sweet story:

This invitation suite is a fabulous source of design inspiration for any couple trying to tell a bit of a story with their wedding invitations.  The suite was designed by the groom, Matt Dorfman, and you can find the full invitation suite right here.  Love it!

    wow. i feel silly admitting this, but this invite actually made me cry (in a good way). their love story reminds me of my own long distance relationship and happily married ending. beyond clever… it’s absolutly wonderful.

    oh my, LOVE this. what a creative invitation and I feel like I know them even though I don’t. Love the idea of focusing on the couple’s story rather than imagery, etc. We were long distance (for not as long!) and I can totally relate to the craziness of that.
