A Modern yet Natural WEDDING SUITE

Keeping the environment in mind, this wonderful bride and groom wanted to use as little paper as possible for their invitations. I flashed back to my own non-envelope DIY wedding invitations from almost 8 years ago and used it as a stepping stone to the finished product. I used A7 smoke gray petal fold cards as the base for the 4.5 x 6.5 invitation that was mounted in the center. The "petals" folded on top and we sealed the invitation with an oval kraft label printed with the return address. Natalie also decided it would be easier to also write the recipient's address on a kraft label that would adhere to the front of the petal fold [not pictured].

Most of the invitations request an online response at the couples wedding website. However, they wanted several to include an RSVP postcard for those guests that are not as computer savvy. I happen to love these little postcards and am very pleased with how they turned out. They are printed on 130 lb. Natural cover stock and are mailed with a standard 29¢ postcard stamp.

The thank you cards included in the image have "the Youngsters" (how cute!) printed in poppy on an environmentally friendly, 80 lb. kraft coverstock. They are fold-over cards with "jellybean" green A2 envelopes.

The bride chose not to include the tree image on the program fans. Instead, they were printed on Kraft cardstock. The front is printed in color (to show off the poppy) with the ceremony program. The black was printed in grayscale, but still coordinated perfectly with the poppy, gray & olive theme and included the wedding party and a favorite, appropriate passage selected by the bride and groom.
