Custom Invitations for Crossed Keys Estate Wedding | Julie and Lavi

Custom Wedding Invitations

5 Feb

Crossed Keys Estate is the perfect, historic location for an elegant countryside wedding, and Julie and Lavi’s invitations were the perfect way to set the stage for their black tie wedding. Navy ink was paired with blind letterpress on double-thick cotton paper for a luxurious invitation suite.

Julie fell in love with the Harmony blind letterpress invitation, but she wanted to include a floral element. So I created a custom illustration of roses that we printed in blind letterpress along the bottom edge of the invitation. I love how blind letterpress adds texture and subtle detail to an invitation suite!

I love how black tie preferred looks pressed into the blind letterpress rose illustration! This is probably my favorite invitation detail of all time.

A coordinating RSVP card featured the same rose illustration, but this time in navy blue. Guests were able to select a meal choice on the reply card, making it easy for planning out the place cards for the wedding reception.

We finished off the invitation suite with white ink printing on navy blue envelopes. A sure way to wow your guests as soon as they open their mailbox!

Absolutely love the way Katie and John customized this classic invitation suite! So many special touches from the thick cotton paper to the watercolor envelope liner in navy blue envelopes, and how perfect are the tiny illustrations of the Notre Dame stadium and dome on the weekend events card?⁠

Thanksgiving is over, so it’s okay to talk about Thanksgiving is over, so it’s okay to talk about Christmas now, right? Well, if you haven’t ordered your holiday cards yet, now is the time!
I was (sort of) on top of the game this year - we took family photos on one of the last days of warm weather in Michigan. Went the DIY route again for photos (because I never learn), but the kids mostly cooperated and we ended up with some good ones. Now I just have to narrow down my favorites and decide on a Christmas card design 😊⁠
I absolutely love having a yearly family photo! These kids are growing so fast, and years from now I know I'll love looking back on these memories ♥️⁠
