Bilingual Wedding Invitation

I finally received the wedding invites that I designed for my cousins. I made it to have both English and Vietnamese text (this was a bit of a pain considering only a few font options allowed me to use Vietnamese). I then took my completed pdf to the printing press, got them cut, etc and shipped it to them for assembly. I finally got the complete package in the mail as an invitation to their wedding. Here it is, (a little bit wrinkled from being subjected to snail mail):

Mother's Day Card

Two mother's day cards (one for my family and one for my bf's family).
I recycled the same telescoping scallop circle design used in the fairy birthday party invites to make my life a little easier. Here are the variations.

Added extra scallops because 4 little kids are signing this one.

Birthday Invitation for a Fairy Princess

I just made about 20 of these telescoping birthday invitations in pink and purple for a little 6 year old fairy princess. It took several hours to design, photoshop and assemble. Here are they are.

Hand write the guest's name in the center scallop circle for a personal touch.

Purple version isn't shimmery like the pink & white paper used instead of vellum so that its not so dark.

I should have made a tab so that the guests know to pull/twist the telescoping circles open and close but I think they can figure it out eventually. 
Materials: heavy weight bright white paper, vellum cardstock, purple textured cardstock, & pink pearl shimmer cardstock

Reception Place Cards

Here are the wedding place cards I made. I'm still playing with the design and name placement, but here are two versions so far. (The scallop color indicates the guest's meal choice.)

Wedding Invitation Finally Done!

Wedding Invite 1 is FINALLY done!!! 
This took about 60 hours to design (make lots of changes) and assemble not including all the time going back and forth to and from the printing press. Ok, so here it is.
Wedding colors are Fuschia, Black, and Ivory.

Black Pocket Folder w Shimmery White Envelope

Shimmery Pearl Linen Cardstock Inserts. RSVP insert has an Shimmery Azalea return envelope.

The inserts are shimmery pearl linen cardstock so they have a nice elegant shine and feel to them. I'm so excited to finish this but I'm not done yet; next project is to finish the reception place-card flowers and to do the ceremony wedding programs fan.

This wedding project includes:
125 invites
150 fan programs
175 flower place-cards

175 Cake Drops as favors: Melinda is making these.

Fleur de Gelatin Cont.

Here are more pics of the flower jello. I should have taken more pictures but out of excitement, I forgot and I couldn't take more pictures because my bf had them. I told him to take pics before eating. Here are the pics....

Jasmin Flower- the dome has condensation from the fridge.

Men! Sigh...

CHOMP!

My coworker took a pic of this one for me.

Poinsettia- managed to save this from Mr. Piggy

Fleur de Gelatin (Flower Jello)

Since I'm working on designing wedding projects and Melinda is working on becoming a demonstrator for Stampin Up, we learned to make edible gelatin flowers as party favors.  We made several different flowers but the sunflower was my favorite. See pics below.

They are wonderful visually pleasing treats. Did I mention they are guilt free in the calorie department? Low calorie, no fat, and high in protein but apparently doesn't include 2 essential amino acids the body requires (take a supplement?). I should mention that there are some studies (of questionable credibility) that say gelatin helps with arthritis joint pains, and makes hair and nails grow out healthier- perfect for me. Regardless if they are true or not, these flowers taste great!
Btw, this sunflower is grape flavored.

UPDATE:
I keep getting questions about this but yes, the flower is edible and is 100% jello (well maybe not quite 100% when you count the the food coloring and other ingredients).

These generally sell for $3 - $5 depending on start up costs and volume. For any requests, email me. Thanks.
