Rachel from Benign Objects sent over her “southern vintage” engagement party invitations – which she of course designed and printed herself and are absolutely lovely! Here’s what Rachel said about her invitations:
They were really fun to make. I reworked some vintage-y artwork and added color. I created a custom monogram, looking to old monogram books for inspiration:
I put the host’s name on a seperate card and had the back printed in a rich, deep red so it could do double duty as a belly band. I then secured it to the invitations with a wisp of satin ribbon:
I used kraft envelopes and printed out labels on my computer:
I had Roberto Sand make the monogram into a custom rubber stamp for only $14! I used a gold stamp pad to stamp the monogram in the middle, giving it a sort of salty finish that I really like:
Rachel says she loves the way the designed turned out – really pretty, but not too sweet and not at all stuffy – definitely the southern vintage vibe that she was aiming for.  I particularly love the pattern detail in the background, which you can see really well in the last photo. Check out more over at Benign Objects right here – thanks Rachel!
