Boxed Wedding Invitations

With a big family, there seems to be a wedding fairly regularly for us. (I love a good wedding don't you?) My sister's wedding is now not that far away, and with the flurry of Christmas right ahead, I know the time will fly! You might remember the jars filled with flowers from the mood board she put together. Well, they were a big inspiration for the design of her invites she has just recently mailed out.

They were originally designed to be letterpressed, however due to my printer being on leave, we decided on bringing a little 'wow' with spot varnish instead. I think it turned out really pretty with smooth shiny jars.

The packaging idea inspired from Oh Happy Day. Asher chose buttered popcorn Jelly Belly's for the base - the smell when putting these together was something else!

They were finished up with a wrap-around custom sticker, sealed for sending. Asher did all the calligraphy on each one, clever chick! She has been constantly collecting bits and pieces for decorating the venue, I can't wait to see how she makes it all come together!

Note: While finishing this blog post my husband has literally just come in to steal more jelly beans from our invitation box and says "this is a great idea, everytime I come in and eat these, I think of the wedding...you can't forget to RSVP" (not that he does the RSVP-ing mind you!)....funny guy.

  4. I'm visiting from Simply Christmas and it has been such a pleasure to look around your very pretty blog. My daughter has made 17 of the little boxes so far each one a little smaller so they all nest inside each other. They are so cute.
