invitations and stationery

i have been designing stationery and invitations for a while but i seem to be doing more of it and i really love it. the wedding invitations are the most fun - because it allows me to be the most creative and create something that truly is special to the client. i just finished 2 more invitations and i will post photos of them as soon as they are put together. 

i learned this in my own search for invitations - you can find very creative ideas from many different sources but if you truly want something that fits your style and your day and your budget - going with a graphic designer who will sit down and really work with you on customizing something - is really the way to go. there are so many creative ways to brand your wedding and make it your own...it shouldn't be a "cookie cutter" experience.

the invitations i just finished exemplify that - both different style weddings and people and both invitations are beautiful expressions of just that!

the same thing goes for stationery. i know a lot of people don't send traditional notes anymore but there is still a market for it believe it or not. so i created this idea that i really believe in. companies have a logo, a brand, a mark that fits them and their demographic - it allows them to stand out from the rest -- well why not cross that over to individuals. i am my own person - you are your own person - so why not have a brand or a mark that identifies you...

identify-you.com is my way of integrating this concept into stationery, notepads and luggage tags...you pick a color, an identifier and a style and you create a brand that can you can use to identify yourself. and if you don't want to go that route - i can custom design something to fit your own personality and use it in the same way. these are some of the latest designs done for baby gifts -- yes baby gifts - mom's love having personalized items for their new bundle of joy and note cards give them the perfect medium for thank you notes or to send new photos to family...
