Claire and Huw will be getting married in just a few short days,and I wanted to share with you their incredibly wonderful invitations! The couple wanted to create a vintage/1930s/grand tour of Europe feel. How did they do that? By creating mini suitcases filled with many goodies, including chocolate, luggage tags, and my Passport invite!

From Claire: “We started off with brown flat pack cardboard boxes and covered them with leatherette style sticky back plastic. We had little 3″ leather handles which I attached paper luggage labels with destination and the recipients’ name on it.

We used metal studs for the bottom to make them stand up.

Then we lined them with cotton print fabric using double sided tape to attach.

I then spent about 2 hours cutting a piece of tweed fabric into strips which were used as the straps (more double sided tape!!) and finally I got to stick on my v cool vintage luggage stickers (even more double sided tape!!)

Inside we put our splendid invites and reply cards (everyone loved these!).

All travel documentation was put into envelopes made from italian map scrapbook paper - by Huw) and tied with pink and orange ribbons (the colours of my bouquet).

Everyone got a leather luggage tag and a pink organza bag with Italian chocolates called Baci.  These have a little note inside which has a romantic saying or quotation on it.”

Thanks for sharing Claire and Huw!
I know your wedding day will be perfect and sweet!

Congratulations to Melinda and Daniel, who were married June seventh

And some pics of the stationery I designed to match the couple’s inspiration of pink lace and vintage accents:

As most of you know, I was in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago to witness a dear friend’s marriage — what a great city to have a wedding! The happy couple exchanged vows at sunset on the balcony of the Four Seasons and it was unbelievably sweet! I am so happy that my husband and I were able to make the trip. Here are some photos for you to enjoy:

places to go and a map of the strip!
