Unique Wedding Invitations

I love wedding invitations that go beyond the normal. Thought I’d share a few of my recent loves…

Invitations on hankerchiefs by Lucky Luxe Couture.

This gorgeous invitation suite by Bird and Banner was hand-printed on vintage hankies + post cards.

Another sweet invite with cotton muslin stitched onto dark wood grain embossed paper by Bird and Banner.

Cute fabric pouches which held the letter pressed invitation and rsvp card (the fabrics also made an appearance at the reception on custom designed signs + menus!) – also by Bird and Banner.

And this lovely invite by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper.  From Anna, For their invitation we decided to play up their love for handmade with a hand sewn invitation design. I used embroidery thread and sewed it directly into paper to create the design and then added hand painted lettering before scanning the art for printing. She then scanned the design for the actual invites – simply stunning!

    These are beautiful ideas. Invites can be so ‘normal’, so these are refreshing. I like this idea too: http://prettythriftyandeasy.blogspot.com/2010/04/momentos-of-love-i-wish-i-had-some.html

    These are awesome. It would be fun to frame the hankerchief invitations after the wedding.
