Style-ish Designs: From us to you

You don’t really think that Thank You cards are that hard to write until you actually sit down and write them. Grammar and spelling seem to leave my mind when I’ve got a pen in my hand and you certainly can’t give someone a thank you card with crossed out and misspelled words can you? I’ve written and rewritten so many cards, I am so happy that they are finally out.

My very talented husband designed the entire card suite and we had them printed by a printer that he frequently uses for his graphic design jobs. They turned out gorgeous and even more so in person.

The entire suite

I absolutely love the silhouette he created of us and used throughout the cards. The design is modern, classy and so us. J’s designs never fail to impress me. I have never not loved something that he’s designed. A few years back before we got so busy with our regular jobs we had a small design business where he designed wedding invitations and other wedding stationary. It was our first foray in the “wedding world” and made me even more excited to get married.

We included a small note to our family and friends printed in the card and then we had a separate notecard (that’s the white card you see in front on the above picture) to hand write our individual thank you’s.

The note inside says:

After angry skies calmed
and gray skies cleared…
We were married,
standing beneath the bluest skies,
above sparkling water,
and surrounded by those we love.

Thank you for our families for
being there and to all
the warm wishes we’ve received
from those who weren’t.

I created a photobook of the pictures that Kevin took for us and this is the cover that J designed for it using the same silhoutte.

I wish I could show you all the actual book. It looks gorgeous with the cover and all the beautiful pictures that Kevin took inside. It is one of my favorite photobooks that I’ve created.

I am so lucky to have such talented people in my life.

And to all of you, since I can’t send a card to each and every one of you, I wanted to give you this!

    Thank you all so much for your comments. It is so nice to hear that you guys like them. And so wonderful to be able to share this new venture with you all.

    JGeb – we look forward to working with you!

    Elizabeth – I’m excited for you as well and hope that we can share tips with each other!

    The Modern Type – we did not end up doing formal invites since it was immediate family only. However I did blog about our Save the Dates and the first set of Thank you cards we did.

    reese – the book was printed by Shutterfly. I will try to take pictures this weekend!

    Tiffany- Love the creativity!!!! My finance and I fell in love with this design/template a couple months back. We are now engaged and DEFINITELY want something similar created, would Jared be interested in designing ours? or perhaps may I know who the print company was? Appreciate your time and effort!
