Custom-Designed Illustrated Wedding Invitations

The stationery was where the couple’s creativity really shined, with Nicole and Tim joining forces to create one-of-a-kind invitations, escort cards, programs and more. Nicole took the lead on the copy, then passed it to Tim, who combined it with his designs. The invitations and return addresses were hand-stamped using gold ink and stamps that Tim had designed himself. “Between folding maps, stamping invitations and envelopes and cutting out reply cards, invitation making took a full week of late nights to complete,” Nicole says, “even with a slew of helpers. Needless to say, when the last one was mailed out we were enormously relieved.”
