Before they Say "I do" BBQ

I really did scan the tush of my husband's jeans

This rehearsal dinner is a a cidery and brew pub

Red, White and Blue... just for you John! Thank you for your service.

I decided the Wrangler's "W" pocket stitching stands for Weisskopf

The theme isn't new but it's so darn cute! Rehearsal dinner invitations can be fun or fancy and this client requested FUN! on behalf of the bride and groom. Of course BBQ is on the menu and the "red, white and blue" color theme honors the groom who serves in the United States Navy. I knew when I found my husband's Wranglers in the closet that this jean's pocket invitation style would be perfect. The "W" stitching on the pocket is a subtle nod to the hosts last name! Perfection.

When the denim dress code came up in conversation with my client I immediately thought that this might be another opportunity to revive a job from the past.  A few years back I created another jeans pocket invitation for a teen's party.Now I'm wanting to plan my own party and use this idea once again.

Rehearsal Dinner Chalkboard Invitation

The MOG had a different invitation in mind for this rehearsal dinner invitation. Something more Mexican-fiesta-like. But the groom really wanted the chalkboard style. So she requested subtle strands of colorful lights to be added and this is the final result! Let's party!!

It's Always Time for a Fiesta Invitation

It seems to me that a Fiesta themed party has no particular season or reason attached to it. Sure, Cinco de Mayo is the most popular time for salting the rim of a glass and having a margarita but I have made Fiesta invitations practically every month of the year and for a variety of occasions... birthday parties, engagement parties, graduation parties and rehearsal dinners.

I decided I needed to create a new one in the colors of the Mexican flag, green, white and red, and with an intricate pattern similar to one I had once seen on a tequila label. And when I got an order for some I was asked if I could do it in teal and apple green. Well, that 's what a custom invitation is all about! I really like they way they turned out. So fresh!
