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.

{happy weekend!}

As I mentioned earlier, we’re in the middle of an incredible heatwave here in DC (and apparently half of the country).  When my husband calls home each night from overseas, we definitely spend a good amount of time complaining about the heat in our respective locations – which makes most of our conversations pretty boring, actually.  He comes home soon; we’re in the final stretch and just counting down the last few days.  It feels so good to know that this will all be behind us very soon.  Next week is shaping up to be a flurry of activity as I try to wrap up a few loose ends, thankfully most of it indoors.  But in the meantime…
