Modern Science Graduation Party Invitation

Chris from Moxie Press & Co. in Baltimore sent over these fun graduation party invitations for a recent graduate from Towson University.  Elenyah just completed a Masters in Forensic Science, so Chris used scientific elements like atoms and a DNA helix along with a bright yellow and gray color palette to create these playful invitations.  So fun!

From Chris: It’s a graduation party!  Here is a lovely two color letterpress graduation party invitation printed on 100% cotton Crane’s Lettra 300 gsm paper in a bright and summery sunflower yellow and dusty gray.  The theme for this graduation invitation was science.  I was inspired by the fun shapes and patterns you find in science like the ellipses of an atom or spiral of a double helix.  This invitation was a surprise gift for the client and she could not have been happier with the results.

Earthy Wood and Floral Wedding Invitation from Akimbo

I love starting the week with a beautiful wedding invitation, and today we get to do just that with this gorgeous suite from Alicia at Akimbo!  Alicia named this suite “Oberon” in a nod to her inspiration – Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream – combining wood and floral details with playful handwriting for an earthy chic design.

From Alicia: Originally commissioned for a whimsical woodland wedding photo shoot, my latest collection was inspired by the mischievous forest characters of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The Oberon collection, which features a real timber invitation and handwritten text, is perfect for a dreamy, earthy wedding.

Lisa + Brian’s Modern Foodie Wedding Invitations

I love seeing all of the creative ideas and concepts that designers use to create wedding invitations.  The immensely talented Jordan and Jason of Enormous Champion sent over these beautiful letterpress wedding invitations that they created for friends getting married later this summer.  Jason and Jordan combined two of the couple’s big loves – food and Doris Day – into a truly unique modern invitation suite.

From Jason and Jordan: Our good friends Lisa & Brian are getting married later this summer… and we love them a bushel and a peck.  We recently completed a 3-color letterpress invitation suite printed on Neenah Classic Crest 165 lbs Solar White paper.  When they asked us to create their wedding invitation, the one thing they requested was an art piece (based on our All Good Things) to accompany the information portion of the invitation as a memento to their invited guests.  Lisa and Brian are life long foodies and Doris Day enthusiasts, the line comes from a song in musical Guys & Dolls and the letterforms are made up of fruits, veggies and a whole lotta love.

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  I feel like I’ve spent most of this week in daydream land, making plans for all of the things that I want to do with my husband when he comes back home in just a few weeks.  Most of them happen to involve food, since my husband has been living on terrible cafeteria food for the last six months.  And I think there should be at least one cake waiting for him when he comes home, don’t you agree?  Anyway, right now I’m looking forward to hanging out with one of my favorite girls tonight, but in the meantime…
