my cousin’s wedding invitations
My second littlest cousin is getting married this fall. We adore her fiance and can’t wait for their special wedding day.

Jen asked me to create her invitations and I was so pleased to do them for her. She wanted something vintage-y, fun, a little bit formal and the groom wanted to somehow incorporate a ‘tree with roots’ {love you, brett!}. Here is what we came up with:
The package came in a navy envelope with cute wraparound labels.
All of the invitation pieces were bundled with a striped wrap and tied with twine.
The tree with roots turned out really cute with their initials subtly added.
We used envelopes in curry from Paper Source for the rsvp card. I love the pop of color.
The wedding is at a gorgeous farm across the sound from Seattle, so we included a ferry schedule for local travelers.
And a dainty registry card.
I started jones design company 10 years ago doing custom invitations for brides, new babies, parties and holiday cards. As our family has grown and I’ve entered this blogging world, my business has changed and custom design work has taken a back seat.
I get questions every once in a while asking about design projects and it makes me sad to say no. Especially when I don’t have a list of great referrals to offer. I always suggest my friends Rae {www.armommy.com} and Lindsay {www.lindsayletters.com}, but with one just having a baby and another expecting her first, I know they are both limited with how much work they can take on too.
So I thought this might be a good chance to open up the comments to those of you who are stationery designers. If you have a business doing invitations, announcements, or other graphic design please leave a link to your website in the comments. Feel free to leave a little snippet about what you do or services you offer.
If you are looking for custom design work, please check through the comments to see if someone fits your aesthetic. I hope it becomes a great resource.

First off, I am in LOVE with the invitations you made! Everything about them is perfect, the texture, color, fonts, I love it all. What a sweet, awesome, generous idea for the opportunity to chime in with our own ventures! I realize I’m late to this little party, but I just saw this post…
I am beyond obsessed with party invitations myself. I love doing invites with interesting shapes-lingerie shower invites shaped like corsets, backed with lace fabric and of course topped with rhinestones. Anything beyond just the typical ink on paper is what inspires me the most. Here is my portfolio and site!

I love the invitation suite you created! The color palette is rich and has plenty of “pop”! Great job!
My passion is paper design. I create all kinds of custom invitations, but I have to say that weddings are my favorite. Planning a wedding is such an exciting time and I love to be part of it. An invitation sets the tone for an event and the possibilities are endless!
I am very blessed to love what I do. I also love being a mother of four young girls and a wife to one tall handsome man. It’s a busy life we lead, but I always leave room to create! Here’s my website if you’d like to see my work:
