Happy wedding week to Michele & Sean. I had the lovely opportunity in designing their wedding invites earlier this year. I woke up one Sunday morning with this really wacky idea of a vintage ski poster for them [based on the Tahoe theme]. Michele and Sean are fairly new friends of mine so I didn't know how they would take this idea, but surprisingly to me, they loved it. I've since learned they are just as funky as I am which makes since why they would be open to something so off the charts.
We designed the poster to just read the basics, knowing that we would need to include travel info and also activities that the bride and groom had planned for the weekend for their out of town guests. We did two sheets, one travel information, one a weekend itinerary to accompany the poster. These sheets are also geared to travel well if guests need to pack the information. A RSVP card was also included with boxes for guest to check their plans...golf? hiking? cocktail boat cruise? these two had planned it all. The RSVP was accompanied by a kraft color envelope to match the shipping tube everything was sent in.
The logo type of their names became the continuing icon throughout the piece, as a header for the second sheets, a return address logo ect...most likely they will use this for thank you cards, and other pieces for the wedding.
This was a blast to design for them and their guests have been really excited about the whole package. Even the men seem to be responding [which we all know never happens] there's a report that one of them took it in to be framed because he liked it so much.
