I can’t believe I forgot about this invite in yesterday’s post about invitation booklets! Erica and EAD posted about these invitations a year ago, which I instantly filed in my inspiration folder. This amazing hardcover invitation booklet was created by graphic designer Ryan Masuga for his own wedding in 2003:
A detail of the letterpress invitation cover:
Inside the invitation, guests found a bit of background about Ryan and his fiance, as well as the actual invitation, hotel information, RSVP card, and fold-out map with directions (tied to the booklet with a piece of twine):
On his website, Ryan says that the response to the invitations was tremendous – people even sent in e-mail rsvps and got directions online to avoid removing the rsvp or map enclosures from the invitation!  Ryan also created a slideshow of the entire invitation, which you can find right here.
