Kelly + John’s Modern Wedding Invitations + Save the Dates

02/06/2012

Happy Monday everyone!  We’re starting the week off with a beautiful suite of wedding save the dates and invitations from Melissa and Amy at Atheneum Creative.  Melissa and Amy worked with bride and groom Kelly and John to develop a fresh approach to the idea of a magnet save the date.  The save the dates were later followed by beautiful wedding invitations with gorgeous hand lettered text in white ink on kraft paper for a modern and natural feel.

From Melissa + Amy: Kelly and John first came to us with the idea of a traditional magnet save the date.  We wanted to push this design to be more than the standard magnet that most people have seen.  We presented the idea of printing a separate magnet to hold up a digitally printed save the date card (creating a nice keepsake magnet).

The magnet was packaged in a custom printed muslin bag.  Kelly and John loved the idea of bringing in natural tones to offset the purple and green in the color palette, choosing to use a muslin bag to hold the magnet within the envelope.

When it came time for the invite, the couple really wanted to push the natural color palette with a touch of the green or purple – which lead us to introducing the kraft and a very playful calligraphy style.  This is a very fun set of materials for a very fun couple. We love it when couples come in with a vision of what they want and we are given the chance to address their wishes and push it even further.

We also created a series of thank you cards that can be used throughout the before and after wedding festivities.  We have some really fun ides in store for all their ‘day of’ materials.
