Dresser Mansion backdrop for this invitation

When Elizabeth received her invitations in the mail, she was delighted as they were just what she was envisioning. It is always scary when ordering online because you can't tell exact colors, textures or get dimensions and we work closely with our brides to arrive at just what they are looking for.

This invitation was created using all envelopment papers. Envelopments.com is a paper source that designers can access. They have a huge inventory of fine papers that are used to create a high end product. Envelopments are just releasing their new colors for 2010 and promise to be exciting.

Designs by Ginny also has other sources for many fine quality papers.

The invitation is wrapped in a beautiful red sheer silk ribbon and borders the couples initials that are printed on the cover of the invitation.

Keep in mind when purchasing an invitation with a bow or any type of embellishment that raises the envelope from laying flat that it will require extra postage.

Beth, liked an invitation that Designs by Ginny did for a previous customer using the ballroom of their event venue and wanted something similiar. Her wedding is taking place at the Dresser Mansion in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her colors of orange and red make this invitation pop!

Using a border on the invitation and then mounting the invitation on the orange cardstock create more dimension to the inside of this invitation. Both the upper flap and lower flap of the foldovers were used for additional text.

A custom pocket was added to the back of the invite to hold the response card and Words of Wisdom cards. Beth wanted to do something different instead of a guest book and sent to her guest a card that they could fill out their words of wisdom or best wishes that she will make into her own personal guest book.

Married by Michiana, Kaitlyn & Michael's Invitations

When Designs by Ginny delivered Kaitlyn's invites, her first response was, Wow! pictures just don't do these invites justice. That is the case in most pictures online. It is hard to capture all the shimmery and texture of the papers used and the true colors. This invite was designed using a soft white metallic cardstock as a trifold. Each fold of the invite captured something special.

As you open the invite you are captivated by the rich design of the print used that framed Kaitlyn & Michael picture. Opposite thier picture is the date of their wedding.

The invitation was printed on the soft white metallic paper and then mounted above a shimmery green linen like metallic cardstock adding more dimension to this invitation.

A custom pocket was created to hold the response card and accommodations card completely this invitation with a truly custom look.

Paisley, Dots & Checks Thank You Card

This custom thank you card was created with

the Paisly Splash Baby Crib Set Ensemble in mind.

The customer loved the design of the Paisly Splash

so we took all the elements and put them together

to create this unique baby thank you card.

We also personlized it with their last name initial, "R"

and added the words, Thank You!

But, this thank you card isn't just for baby.

It's classic design allows for it to be used for other

thank you's as well.

It could also be used just as a personalized notecard

by taking the words thank you off.

Just pretty in pink!

Dog Party Invite

Designs by Ginny has had the pleasure of creating

a birthday party invite for Moe

for the past few years and this year Moe will be turning 13!

This year's theme is based on Moe being the age of a teenager

and driving priviledges just around the corner so we had fun creating

a race car theme invite.

I would say Moe is one very lucky dog!

In the picture above we have a matching envelope

with a full size picture of Moe

with the guests name and address written on his body.

Extra envelopes were also created for those last minute invites

so Moe's mom could hand write in the address.

Each gives the invite some extra wow factor.

To completely finish the look a custom lining

was added to the inside of the envelope.

Gotta admit who could resist that adorable face!

Happy Birthday, Moe!

Ho Okahi Makamaka O Ko Aloha

Our love begins the union of our life together!

Ho Okahi Makamaka O Ko Aloha

Holly loves the plumeria flower and it became the focal point of her invites. On the cover of the trifold style invite a custom cut grouping of the plumeria flowers is attached with a ribbon to hold the invite closed and be tied into a bow. Inside the invite printed on a soft metallic white cardstock is mounted on top of a fushia color metallic cardstock adding depth. Each side fold supports a verse. Holly also wanted the flowers to carry to the back of the invite as well. Matching response and reception cards completed the ensemble.

50th Anniversary Centerpiece

Seems appropriate to share this centerpiece

with Valentines being just around the corner.

To make it 50 years together is certainly remarkable

and a true test of love!

This centerpiece was created using mylar tissue, lace ribbon

gold glitter, ting and a custom cut number 50.

 The customer also provided a

wedding picture of her parents which was duplicated

and placed inside the 0 of the 50 making for a

very special and unique centerpiece.
