…or how to word an invitation thereof. Yes, we did it! And it was utterly fun, too. G and G decided on a very creative design which involves three sheets, a card stock and a perforated line type of RSVP card. The first sheet is a vellum paper with just G and G’s names on it. We printed it grayish with a nice flourish font and it looks very elegant. The second sheet is a chartreuse green and we found a modern yet classy font that is perfect for a wedding invitation.
A side note about fonts: It is sheer unbelievable how many options are out there! And many of them are free to download so it does not make the selection easy. All while G, Mr. Entertainment, gets sidetracked by shiny things in our office. Wedding invitations are definitely a touch-stone for a relationship!
So, the chartreuse paper contains the actual invitation, which is not over the top formal but keeps the elegant and modern style of the whole card. Then there comes the gold (or lovingly dubbed ‘mustard yellow’) sheet with the details, directions and a RSVP section which is divided from the rest of the card by a perforated line. Pretty neat!
The Vellum paper tricked our laser printer a bit and created a ghostly shadow picture of the names when we printed more than one piece, so we printed one by one and had G stand at the printer and holler ‘OK!’ when one paper came out. Yes, we had fun! OK!
We decided to round up invitation day with a visit to the Orange County Fair. I don’t think, I have ever seen so many different varieties of fried food. We had fried artichoke hearts, fried corn dogs, fried hamburgers, funnel cake, fried snicker bars – oh, and a turkey leg. Yes, we were dripping with oil. Good thing they have beer, too. Definitely majorly helping with the fat factor of the fritters.
